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.

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.

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…

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…
