Here Moses concludes his dialogue with Pharaoh for good, promising a great wail of death throughout Egypt to come. …

WHOEVER FEARED THE WORD OF THE LORD // VERSES 13-35 As we have seen, the LORD’s plagues against Pharaoh and the land of Egypt have been intensifying each time. First, …
https://open.spotify.com/episode/6sq6JeFMlkwlRjPzZ4fApT?si=Ye0KpgZnSHuDKxuNBw2H-w During our study of Exodus 4:18-31, we encountered this difficult statement from God that He spoke to Moses: “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the miracles that I have put in your power. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJWTYOfiShs&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=10 Last week we began to study the ten great plagues that the LORD brought upon the land of Egypt in response to Pharaoh’s stubborn refusal to let God’s people go. We continue here with the second set of three plagues, and there is indeed textual evidence for viewing the first nine plagues as three …
This sermon was originally preached in 2015. This chapter is certainly the greatest trial that Abraham ever faced. His twenty-five-year wait, his war against kings to rescue Lot, his walk of faith to Canaan were nothing compared to the difficulty of trusting the LORD in this task. However, by this, we learn that Abraham truly …

By using a serpent, God revealed that the symbol of power and sovereignty that Pharaoh displayed upon his crown belonged exclusively to the …
This sermon was originally preached in 2015. Our present text begins with two angels coming into Sodom and meeting Lot. Like any good host, Lot invites them into his house; however, the men of the city are intent on being less kind of the angels. We see the depravity of humanity as the men desperately …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tSfs20ebM0&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=8 Last week we observed God's second revelation of Himself to Moses, and we should note that such there is a similar repetition to all of chapters 5-6. You see, in chapters 1-4, we find this overall pattern: God's people suffer and cry out, God hears their cry and reveals Himself to Moses, and God …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTCSEw9RuTQ&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=7 Chapter 5 began with the long-awaited meeting of Moses and Pharaoh; however, the splendid sparks that the exodus story is so known for scarcely flew. Rather than beginning Egypt’s ruin by the hand of God, the brief encounter ended with the king of Egypt tightening his tyrannical grip upon the Hebrews even further by …

Through all of his faults and fears, Moses returned to Egypt with his brother Aaron and told the elders of Israel all that God had spoken to him. In response, they believed what Moses had said …
