Why would God let obedience make life harder first? In Exodus 5–7, Pharaoh’s defiance deepens Israel’s suffering, leaving Moses questioning God’s promises. Yet the Lord responds with reassurance, declaring, “I will bring you out… I will redeem you.” Pastor Paul unpacks how crisis points test our faith, shaping perseverance and trust in God’s goodness. You’ll see how Pharaoh’s hardened heart reveals the danger of self-rule, why trials can either harden or humble us, and how the first plague confronts Egypt’s false gods while proving the Lord’s unmatched authority.
