Prisoners: Helpless, Helped & Hopeful

Summary

Elder Michael Goans preaches from Zechariah 9:11-12, emphasizing the gospel message of deliverance and hope. He explains that all humans are prisoners in a pit of sin and depravity, unable to save themselves, but Jesus Christ has liberated us by His blood covenant. The sermon highlights the biblical principle that God's saving work (indicative) precedes our response of faith and hope (imperative). Believers are called to turn to God as prisoners of hope, embracing the restoration and righteousness given through Christ.
