The Plagues: Part 1
• Series: EXODUS: divine deliverance
Join us for part 2 of series 2 in our journey through the book of Exodus--exploring themes of divine deliverance and God's extraordinary display of power. This week, we focus on the first 3 plagues brought upon Egypt, and how they serve as both a response to Pharaoh's oppression and a testament to God's supremacy over Egyptian deities. By examining the creative and artistic nature of these biblical events, and comparing them to the creation story, we can better appreciate the intricate design and depth found in these stories, encouraging a fresh perspective on how God responds to injustice with both might and artistry. As he brings these ancient plagues into our modern context, Pastor Eddie addresses the human struggle of relying on temporary fixes to mask deeper issues--urging us to turn towards genuine healing through faith. We explore how the story of Pharaoh's hardened heart during the plagues serves as a metaphor for our own spiritual struggles, challenging us to seek true heart change rather than mere relief from life's hardships. With an emphasis on building resilience through trust in God's greater plan, this sermon offers a thought-provoking exploration of faith, transformation, and the enduring power of God's intervention. ---------- Divine Deliverance, Plagues, Exodus, Pharaoh, Injustice, Israelites, Creative, Artistic, Frogs, Gnats, Bible, Power, Artistry, Yahweh, Egypt, Creation, Authority, Conviction, Repentance, Trust, Trauma, Healing, Resilience, Faith, Jesus, Doxa, Church, Seattle, Redmond, Washington, Gospel, Acts 29
