Prisoners of Hope 6: How to have Faith in the Fire - Zechariah 9:9-13

How do you maintain hope when you have disappointment? Is it possible to have joy when you're surrounded by discouragement? How do you carry on when things don't go your way? One way to deal with it is not to get your hopes up. But that's not a great way to go through life. It's easy in those times to have doubts about God. I've met people who've been in leadership of churches for decades and suddenly have doubts about God because of disappointments. I really do pray for the spiritual renewal of every person in our church, that God would lead us to live out of the river of his life. May the word of God today strengthen you. Today's message is about how to keep hope in the fire. We're walking through Zechariah in a series called "Prisoners of Hope". This is a saying that comes from this passage that we're looking at today. Usually, you think of prison as being a dark thing but here you're imprisoned by hope itself. I have nowhere to go but hope. Where do you find foundation like that? Zechariah 9Extra reading: Romans 8:31-39Preacher: Bill Dyck
