In the tenth and final plague, the Lord slew all the firstborn of in the land of Egypt, people and animals, with the exception of the Israelites and others who obeyed God’s instructions to apply the blood of a blemish-free lamb to the lintel and doorposts of their homes. Pharaoh, bereft of his own firstborn son, finally humbles himself and gives Moses…

After eight plagues, Egypt’s flocks, herds, and crops have been decimated, yet Pharaoh refuses to allow the Israelites to leave. The ninth plague, three days of total darkness, then descends without warning. 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.

Moses asks God, “…and how shall Pharaoh heed me” (Exodus 6:30), and God replies, “But Pharaoh will not heed you” (Exodus 7:4). Pastor Kevin points to the parallels in the life of the prophet Jeremiah, 800 years later. In both cases, God assures his servants that He will give…
We continue our study in Hebrews 11, God’s “Hall of Fame,” looking at the lives of Enoch, whom God translated because he please God; Noah, who obeyed God’s command to build an ark to escape the impending judgment of the flood; and Abraham, who obeyed God’s command to leave pagan Ur and travel to a land “that I will show you.” All three…
This week, we resume our study of The Song of Moses, Deuteronomy 32. Moses instructed the leaders to teach his song to all generations as a reminder of God’s past works on behalf of the nation as well as warnings that their future rebellion would bring God’s just judgments. As Moses declares in Deuteronomy 32:5, anyone who rebels against the God of…
