The Plagues: Part 2
• Series: EXODUS: divine deliverance
This week, we jump into part 2 of our deep dive on the 10 plagues found in Exodus. Pastor Eddie explores the symbolic role of the plagues as expressions of divine justice against the Egyptian gods, as each triad of plagues serves as a testament to God's supremacy over the Egyptian pantheon. This sermon provides a rich examination of the theological and symbolic meanings behind plagues 4-6, with a focus on rebirth and the ultimate power of the one true God. We draw parallels between Pharaoh's magicians and our own lives, questioning the illusion of control and safety, and emphasizing that true security is found within God's will. Finally, we examine the journey to true safety through faith in Jesus Christ, highlighting the significance of His death, burial, and resurrection. By believing in Jesus and following God's commandments, we navigate the complexities of a broken world and achieve spiritual, emotional, and physical renewal. Through the story of Pharaoh and the Israelites, we see a reflection of our own captivity to sin, and how Jesus' sacrifice liberates us. We would encourage you to embrace this path to true safety--ultimately leading to rebirth and restoration--and find solace in God's will as we confront the challenges of our world. ---------- Exodus, Justice, Biblical History, Plagues, Moses, Pharaoh, Israelites, Egyptians, Magicians, False Securities, Control, God's Will, Rebirth, Transformation, Health, America, Second Chances, Control, Safety, Sin, Belief, Negotiation, Bargaining, Broken World, Jesus Christ, Death, Burial, Resurrection, Liberation, Temptations, Love, Freedom, Gratitude, Faith, Thankfulness, Doxa, Church, Washington, Seattle, Redmond, Gospel, Acts 29
