Plagues (4 of 10)
Series: From Here to There - Exodus

Exodus 7:14 - 10:29
Good morning Chapel family. We're taking this summer to walk through the book of Exodus, which is all about God taking the people of Israel from where they were-which was slaves in Egypt-and bringing them to where he wanted them to be-which was their new homeland. So Exodus is all about that movement from here to there. And the reason that's so relevant is that this is exactly what God does in our lives. So if you are feeling stuck or stagnant or hopeless about the future, Exodus can give you a fresh vision of this God who is working to bring you from here to there.
So let's do a quick review: God spoke to Moses in the desert. And He said, ''I want you to go up to Pharaoh-the king of Egypt-and demand that he set my people free.'' So Moses tried it...and Pharaoh basically laughed at him, and then made the working conditions for the Israelites unbearable. So now, not only was Pharaoh mad at Moses; Moses' own people resented him. And then God said, ''Go back to Pharaoh and tell him to let my people go.'' Moses said, ''Haven't we tried this already?'' And God said, ''Trust me.'' So Moses went back to Pharaoh again; and once again, in the words of Scripture, his heart was hardened. So he refused to let the people go. And that's where we left off last time, in the middle of chapter seven.
So today, we come to a part of Exodus that's pretty well known, but maybe not that well understood. It's the account of the Ten Plagues that were unleashed on Egypt (and actually, we'll save the last one for next week; so we'll look at the first nine plagues today). And we're covering a huge section of Scripture, so there's no way we can read it all. But let's start by reading about the first plague, and then I'll summarize the other ones.
Here we go-Exodus 7, verse 14: 14 Then the LORD said to Moses, ''Pharaoh's heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go. 15 Go to Phara ...
