Having just received God’s miraculous provision of manna in Exodus 16, the Israelites set out on their wilderness journey. Finding no water at their camp, they quickly complain to Moses (Exodus 17:1) instead of asking God for help. Moses admonishes the people that their complaints are against God, not himself, replying, “Why do you tempt the Lord” (Exodus 17:2)? Pastor Kevin draws on the life of…
Exodus 16 relates the familiar account of God’s provision of manna for the Israelites to sustain them on their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land.

Yet again, Pharaoh refuses, and the Lord tells Moses that Pharaoh will finally relent after the next and final judgment, the death of the firstborn. For those who obey God’s…
Pharaoh continues to fight against God through two more plagues of increasing severity, hail and locusts. Though he demonstrates remorse and pleads for mercy, Pharoah still refuses to humble himself and repent before the Almighty God of the universe. As the Scriptures reveal, God raised up this hard-hearted man to the powerful position of Pharoah over the mighty Egyptian kingdom in order…
In today’s passage, we see Pharaoh continue to fight against God through two more plagues that God designed to humble Pharaoh before the all-powerful God of the Israelites. Like many people today, Pharoah tries to ignore God’s discipline, then tries to bargain with Him, and then ultimately defies Him outright, all to his own and his peoples’ harm. Using supporting Scriptures, Pastor…
Pharaoh has refused God’s command to let the Israelites worship Him in the wilderness, so God turns the Nile River to blood and then sends successive plagues of frogs, lice, and flies. Each plague reminded the Egyptians of one of their many gods and revealed the God of the Israelites as more powerful than the false gods they worshipped. With each plague, Pharaoh initially…
