Exodus 4-8

In this Wednesday night study of Exodus 4-8, Pastor Jason Duff finishes Moses' five questions at the burning bush — including his final honest admission of "I just don't want to do it" — then walks through the prologue to the plagues: Moses' return to Egypt, the confrontation with Pharaoh, and the theological question of who is really hardening Pharaoh's heart, landing on the answer that God is sovereign and man is responsible, and both are true at the same time. The plagues themselves are examined as direct attacks on Egypt's gods — the Nile turned to blood strikes at Hapi and Isis, the frog invasion humiliates the beloved frog goddess Heqet — with each plague intensified, predicted, and targeted in ways that rule out a purely natural explanation. The message closes on Pharaoh's strange response when Moses asks when he wants the frogs gone — "tomorrow" — as a picture of every believer who knows something has become a plague in their life, hears God offer freedom today, and answers "one more night."
