The sixth plague, which goes from the dust to the pus, is about more than God just getting under Pharaoh's skin. This is about Pharaoh's heart gradually inching towards the point of no return. I invite you to explore with me how close to that point Pharaoh's heart is bringing him.

While the previous plagues involved effects that were mobile and whose removal could be prayed for, the fifth plague is static and definite. I invite you to join me in this episode as we explore not only how this plague provokes Pharaoh's pride, but how his struggle is one with which we all resonate.

As Moses begins a second set of plagues, the LORD increases the seriousness. Not only do flies bring more than just inconvenience, their overall effect is a foreshadowing of God's judgment intensified. I invite you to join me in exploring Pharaoh's reaction to such seriousness.

God's third plague upon Egypt unfolds and concludes differently than the first two. I invite you to join me in exploring how, why, and what purposes these differences served.

In His second plague, the LORD sends hordes of frogs into Egyptian residences, wreaking havoc through nerve-wraking horror. But the lesson this time is not so much in the plague itself, but in how the plague is removed. I invite you to join me in this hippity-hoppity discussion of the LORD's judgment.

In God's first plague upon Egypt, the Nile River is turned to blood. But what is the specific purpose of this plague? And how does the plague itself serve that purpose? I invite you to join me in this discussion of the LORD's first act of judgment upon Egypt.

After Moses' discouraging encounter with Pharaoh, the LORD reminds Moses of his calling and God's commitment to Israel, reinvigorating Moses with the energy to return to Pharaoh and act out the LORD's swallowing up of Pharaoh's sovereignty. I invite you to join me in exploring God "dropping the gauntlet" to Pharaoh in this prelude to the plagues.

When Moses and Aaron initially tell Pharaoh to let the people go, the situation suddenly goes from bad to worse. Belief turns to bewilderment, determination turns to despair. But just as Moses' mission appears to implode, the LORD prepares to introduce Himself to Pharaoh. I invite you to join me in this episode as we meet the contenders for Israel's future.
