08 Exodus 7 - 10 - The Battle Begins

Sermons from Seven Mile Road Church in Waltham

In this sermon, Pastor Clint walks us through the first 9 plagues against Egypt. God begins to deliver Israel by showcasing his sovereignty over Egypt through the plagues. By repeatedly hardening Pharaoh’s heart, God creates an environment in which his gracious salvation of Israel may be fully acknowledged. Ultimately, these chapters depict a power contest between the Lord (represented by Moses and Aaron) and the gods of Egypt (represented by Pharaoh). Although Pharaoh resists and disobeys the divine word, God will eventually overpower him until he submits and releases the people.
