  • With a Horn and a Torch
    Trapped Week #7
    With a Horn and a Torch
    Judges 7:16-25


    1. What do I really want to see Jesus do in and through me?
    • Why is it we think so small when we have a God who is so big?
    • 2. What is the next step I need to take in order to make that happen?


      He divided the 300 men into three groups and gave each man a ram’s horn and a clay jar with a torch in it. 17  Then he said to them, “Keep your eyes on me. When I come to the edge of the camp, do just as I do. Judges 7:16-17
      • We need to stay focused on the vision God has given us
      • As soon as I and those with me blow the rams’ horns, blow your horns, too, all around the entire camp, and shout, ‘For the  Lord  and for Gideon!’” 19  It was just after midnight,  after the changing of the guard, when Gideon and the 100 men with him reached the edge of the Midianite camp. Suddenly, they blew the rams’ horns and broke their clay jars.  20  Then all three groups blew their horns and broke their jars. They held the blazing torches in their left hands and the horns in their right hands, and they all shouted, “A sword for the  Lord  and for Gideon!” Judges 7:18-20
        • Gideon had a vision
        • Each man stood at his position around the camp and watched as all the Midianites rushed around in a panic, shouting as they ran to escape.  22  When the 300 Israelites blew their rams’ horns, the  Lord  caused the warriors in the camp to fight against each other with their swords. Those who were not killed fled to places as far away as Beth-shittah near Zererah and to the border of Abel-meholah near Tabbath. 23  Then Gideon sent for the warriors of Naphtali, Asher, and Manasseh, who joined in chasing the army of Midian.  24  Gideon also sent messengers throughout the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down to attack the Midianites. Cut them off at the shallow crossings of the Jordan River at Beth-barah.” So all the men of Ephraim did as they were told.  25  They captured Oreb and Zeeb, the two Midianite commanders, killing Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. And they continued to chase the Midianites. Afterward the Israelites brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon, who was by the Jordan River. Judges 7:21-25

        • Into the Enemy's Camp
          Trapped Week #6
          Into the Enemy’s Camp
          Judges 7:8-15
          • Worship enables us to destroy what the enemy intends to use to destroy us
          • Gideon probably felt confused, discouraged and filled with doubt
          • The Midianite camp was in the valley just below Gideon.  9  That night the  Lord  said, “Get up! Go down into the Midianite camp, for I have given you victory over them!  Judges 7:8-9
            • Victims never walk in victory
            • But if you are afraid to attack, go down to the camp with your servant Purah. Judges 7:10
              • The grace of God will meet us exactly where we are, but He loves us too much to let us stay that way
              • Purah = branch or coverage; one who bears fruit
              • But if you are afraid to attack, go down to the camp with your servant Purah.  11  Listen to what the Midianites are saying, and you will be greatly encouraged. Then you will be eager to attack.” So Gideon took Purah and went down to the edge of the enemy camp.  12  The armies of Midian, Amalek, and the people of the east had settled in the valley like a swarm of locusts. Their camels were like grains of sand on the seashore—too many to count!  13  Gideon crept up just as a man was telling his companion about a dream. The man said, “I had this dream, and in my dream a loaf of barley bread came tumbling down into the Midianite camp. It hit a tent, turned it over, and knocked it flat!” Judges 7:10-13


                His companion answered, “Your dream can mean only one thing—God has given Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite, victory over Midian and all its allies!” 15  When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship before the  Lord.  Then he returned to the Israelite camp and shouted, “Get up! For the  Lord  has given you victory over the Midianite hordes!”  Judges 7:14-15
                • When we worship, we start thinking like God thinks and we start speaking like God speaks
                • Worship enables us to destroy what the enemy intends to use to destroy us

                • Pruning Season
                  Trapped Week #5
                  Pruning Season
                  Judges 7:1-8
                  God’s thoughts are higher and God’s ways are greater


                  So Jerub-baal (that is, Gideon) and his army got up early and went as far as the spring of Harod. The armies of Midian were camped north of them in the valley near the hill of Moreh. 2 The Lord said to Gideon, “You have too many warriors with you. If I let all of you fight the Midianites, the Israelites will boast to me that they saved themselves by their own strength. Judges 7:1-2


                  We can either humble ourselves before God or be humbled by God


                  Therefore, tell the people, ‘Whoever is timid or afraid may leave this mountain and go home.’” So 22,000 of them went home, leaving only 10,000 who were willing to fight. Judges 7:3


                  “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. John 15:1-2


                  Things we fear:


                  1. Fear of failure


                  Failure is what happens when we don’t get back up


                  Failure isn’t final


                  2. Fear of rejection


                  3. Fear of the unknown


                  But the Lord told Gideon, “There are still too many! Bring them down to the spring, and I will test them to determine who will go with you and who will not.” 5 When Gideon took his warriors down to the water, the Lord told him, “Divide the men into two groups. In one group put all those who cup water in their hands and lap it up with their tongues like dogs. In the other group put all those who kneel down and drink with their mouths in the stream.” 6 Only 300 of the men drank from their hands. All the others got down on their knees and drank with their mouths in the stream. 7 The Lord told Gideon, “With these 300 men I will rescue you and give you victory over the Midianites. Send all the others home.” 8 So Gideon collected the provisions and rams’ horns of the other warriors and sent them home. But he kept the 300 men with him. Judges 7:4-8
                  For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Romans 3:23
                  The consequences of concealment are far greater than the consequences of confession
                  But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness 1 John 1:9


                  Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:16

                • The Power of the Resurrection
                  Easter 2025
                  The Power of the Resurrection
                  Luke 22:42-44; 22:54; 23:32-33; 24:5-6


                  5 Things we can relate to in the Easter Story:


                  1. Confusion
                  In His time, Jesus will bring clarity out of confusion
                  2. Stress
                  “Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” 43 Then an angel from heaven appeared and strengthened him. 44 He prayed more fervently, and he was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood. -Luke 22:42-44


                  3. Labeled


                  So they arrested him and led him to the high priest’s home. And Peter followed at a distance. -Luke 22:54


                  The enemy will always try to label us


                  Labels lock us in and lock God out


                  4. Abandoned


                  At that point, all the disciples deserted him and fled. -Matthew 26:56
                  5. Suffering


                  Two others, both criminals, were led out to be executed with him. 33 When they came to a place called The Skull, they nailed him to the cross. And the criminals were also crucified—one on his right and one on his left. -Luke 23:32-33


                  At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” -Matthew 27:4
                  Easter is about the resurrection


                  The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? 6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee -Luke 24:5-6
                  The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. -Romans 8:11


                  The resurrection > confusion


                  The resurrection > stress


                  The resurrection > labels


                  The resurrection > abandonment


                  The resurrection > suffering


                  Resurrection = reunion

                • From the Pit to the Threshing Floor
                  Trapped Week #4
                  From the Pit to the Threshing Floor
                  Judges 6:33-40
                  • When it comes to the role of The Holy Spirit in our lives, He’s there, we’re just not always aware
                  • I baptize with water those who repent of their sins and turn to God. But someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—so much greater that I’m not worthy even to be his slave and carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Matthew 3:11


                    Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, Ephesians 5:18


                    1. The Holy Spirit prepares us


                    Soon afterward the armies of Midian, Amalek, and the people of the east formed an alliance against Israel and crossed the Jordan, camping in the valley of Jezreel.  Judges 6:33
                    • It is essential to allow The Holy Spirit to prepare our hearts and minds
                    • 2. The Holy Spirit empowers us


                      Then the Spirit of the Lord clothed Gideon with power. He blew a ram’s horn as a call to arms, and the men of the clan of Abiezer came to him. 35 He also sent messengers throughout Manasseh, Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, summoning their warriors, and all of them responded. Judges 6:34-35
                      • The power of sin is strong
                      • The power of God’s Word and God’s Spirit are stronger than the power of sin
                      • As Samson and his parents were going down to Timnah, a young lion suddenly attacked Samson near the vineyards of Timnah. 6 At that moment the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him, and he ripped the lion’s jaws apart with his bare hands. He did it as easily as if it were a young goat.  Judges 14:5-6


                        Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8
                        • God creates... Satan counterfeits
                        • 3. The Holy Spirit guides us


                          Then Gideon said to God, “If you are truly going to use me to rescue Israel as you promised, 37 prove it to me in this way. I will put a wool fleece on the threshing floor tonight. If the fleece is wet with dew in the morning but the ground is dry, then I will know that you are going to help me rescue Israel as you promised.” Judges 6:36-37
                          • Sometimes God brings us from the pit to the threshing floor, and we didn't even notice how far He's brought us
                          • And that is just what happened. When Gideon got up early the next morning, he squeezed the fleece and wrung out a whole bowlful of water. 39 Then Gideon said to God, “Please don’t be angry with me, but let me make one more request. Let me use the fleece for one more test. This time let the fleece remain dry while the ground around it is wet with dew.” 40 So that night God did as Gideon asked. The fleece was dry in the morning, but the ground was covered with dew. Judges 6:38-40


                            The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you Romans 8:11

                          • Still Not Tolerant
                            Trapped Week #3
                            Still not Tolerant
                            Judges 6:25-31


                            God’s Grace is Amazing


                            There is always a way out of the pit


                            That night the Lord said to Gideon, “Take the second bull from your father’s herd, the one that is seven years old. Pull down your father’s altar to Baal, and cut down the Asherah pole standing beside it.  Judges 6:25


                            Come back to the place of safety, all you prisoners who still have hope! I promise this very day that I will repay two blessings for each of your troubles. Zechariah 9:12


                            Then build an altar to the Lord your God here on this hilltop sanctuary, laying the stones carefully. Sacrifice the bull as a burnt offering on the altar, using as fuel the wood of the Asherah pole you cut down.” Judges 6:26


                            Pride is a sin


                            Pride is the thing we can’t see in the mirror


                            Pride is when we obsess over the sins of others, so we don’t have to deal with the sins in our own lives


                            You cannot separate Jesus and politics


                            It’s not what we say, it’s how we say it


                            There are only two genders, male and female, and God decides/assigns the genders


                            You cannot destroy the property of people just because we don’t like the creator of the product


                            Men can’t have babies


                            Men should not be allowed to compete with women


                            Masculinity is not toxic


                            A peace keeper appeases everyone. But a peace maker will fight to keep the peace


                            So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the Lord had commanded. But he did it at night because he was afraid of the other members of his father’s household and the people of the town. Judges 6:27


                            You can absolutely be a Christian and not be involved in a church, but you cannot follow Jesus and not be involved in the church


                            God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. 23 And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself. Ephesians 1:22-23


                            Early the next morning, as the people of the town began to stir, someone discovered that the altar of Baal had been broken down and that the Asherah pole beside it had been cut down. In their place a new altar had been built, and on it were the remains of the bull that had been sacrificed. 29 The people said to each other, “Who did this?” And after asking around and making a careful search, they learned that it was Gideon, the son of Joash. 30 “Bring out your son,” the men of the town demanded of Joash. “He must die for destroying the altar of Baal and for cutting down the Asherah pole.” 31 But Joash shouted to the mob that confronted him, “Why are you defending Baal? Will you argue his case? Whoever pleads his case will be put to death by morning! If Baal truly is a god, let him defend himself and destroy the one who broke down his altar!”  Judges 6:28-31

                            Patient Not Tolerant
                            Judges 6:15-24


                            God is patient, He is not tolerant


                            If Jesus is doing a work in our life, eventually it will be undeniable


                            “But Lord,” Gideon replied, “how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least in my entire family!” Judges 6:15


                            When we start to see Jesus more clearly, we will follow Him more closely


                            Limitations lead to desperation


                            The Lord said to him, “I will be with you. And you will destroy the Midianites as if you were fighting against one man.” Judges 6:16


                            I will be with you and you will be a good spouse


                            I will be with you and you will be a good parent


                            I will be with you will be able to take your next step


                            God will never call you to do what He will not fulfill through you, if you’ll simply be obedient to it


                            Gideon replied, “If you are truly going to help me, show me a sign to prove that it is really the Lord speaking to me. 18 Don’t go away until I come back and bring my offering to you.” He answered, “I will stay here until you return.” Judges 6:17-18


                            If you’re not as close to Jesus as you once were... He didn’t move, you did


                            Gideon hurried home. He cooked a young goat, and with a basket of flour he baked some bread without yeast. Then, carrying the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, he brought them out and presented them to the angel, who was under the great tree. Judges 6:19


                            It’s when we get in the presence of God that we find His direction


                            The angel of God said to him, “Place the meat and the unleavened bread on this rock, and pour the broth over it.” And Gideon did as he was told. Judges 6:20


                            We don’t have to understand God to trust God


                            Then the angel of the Lord touched the meat and bread with the tip of the staff in his hand, and fire flamed up from the rock and consumed all he had brought. And the angel of the Lord disappeared. 22 When Gideon realized that it was the angel of the Lord, he cried out, “Oh, Sovereign Lord, I’m doomed! I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face!” 23 “It is all right,” the Lord replied. “Do not be afraid. You will not die.” Judges 6:21-23


                            When we get real and honest with God He will speak into our situation


                            Repent (metanoia) means- the changing of the mind


                            And Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and named it Yahweh-Shalom (which means “the Lord is peace”). The altar remains in Ophrah in the land of the clan of Abiezer to this day. Judges 6:24


                            It is impossible to be worried, anxious or depressed in those moments where we are intentionally focus everything on Jesus

                            Trapped in the Pit
                            Judges 6:1-14


                            Nobody likes feeling trapped


                            The Israelites did evil in the  Lord’s sight. So the  Lord  handed them over to the Midianites for seven years.  2  The Midianites were so cruel that the Israelites made hiding places for themselves in the mountains, caves, and strongholds.  3  Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, marauders from Midian, Amalek, and the people of the east would attack Israel,  4  camping in the land and destroying crops as far away as Gaza. They left the Israelites with nothing to eat, taking all the sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys.  5  These enemy hordes, coming with their livestock and tents, were as thick as locusts; they arrived on droves of camels too numerous to count. And they stayed until the land was stripped bare.  6  So Israel was reduced to starvation by the Midianites. Then the Israelites cried out to the  Lord  for help. Judges 6:1-6


                            Then the angel of the  Lord  came and sat beneath the great tree at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash of the clan of Abiezer. Gideon son of Joash was threshing wheat at the bottom of a winepress to hide the grain from the Midianites.  Judges 6:11


                            There are two metaphors for The Holy Spirit in the New Testament; Fire and Wind


                            As we make ourselves available to The Holy Spirit, He will sift us


                            The angel of the  Lord  appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the  Lord  is with you!” Judges 6:12


                            Jesus meets us in the pit


                            Jesus doesn’t speak to our past, He speaks to our potential


                            “Sir,” Gideon replied, “if the  Lord  is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors told us about? Didn’t they say, ‘The  Lord  brought us up out of Egypt’? But now the  Lord  has abandoned us and handed us over to the Midianites.” Judges 6:13


                            Victims never walk in victory


                            What would happen if we made ourselves available to The Spirit of God and we allowed The Word of God to direct our steps?


                            Then the  Lord  turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!” Judges 6:14


                            When Jesus speaks to us in the pit, He’s speaking affirmation, not condemnation


                            Jesus... through the power of your Holy Spirit and your word remove from me what does not belong and replace it with all that you want. I am yours. Amen

                            Following God into the Unknown - Week #7
                            Following with Gratitude
                            Exodus 15:22-25; 16:1-4; Numbers 11:4-6; 14:1-4


                            As followers of Jesus Christ, we should have a consistent attitude of gratitude
                            God will make a way when there is no way


                            Then Moses led the people of Israel away from the Red Sea, and they moved out into the desert of Shur. They traveled in this desert for three days without finding any water. Exodus 15:22


                            The miracle that God wants to do in and through you is in direct proportion to the problem that's in front of you


                            When they came to the oasis of Marah, the water was too bitter to drink. So they called the place Marah (which means “bitter”). Exodus 15:23


                            Bitterness and gratitude can't occupy the same space


                            Then the people complained and turned against Moses. “What are we going to drink?” they demanded.  25  So Moses cried out to the  Lord  for help, and the  Lord  showed him a piece of wood. Moses threw it into the water, and this made the water good to drink. Exodus 15:24-25


                            Then the whole community of Israel set out from Elim and journeyed into the wilderness of Sin, between Elim and Mount Sinai. They arrived there on the fifteenth day of the second month, one month after leaving the land of Egypt.  2  There, too, the whole community of Israel complained about Moses and Aaron. 3  “If only the  Lord  had killed us back in Egypt,” they moaned. “There we sat around pots filled with meat and ate all the bread we wanted. But now you have brought us into this wilderness to starve us all to death.” Exodus 16:1-3


                            The enemy wants us to glorify the past


                            Then the  Lord  said to Moses, “Look, I’m going to rain down food from heaven for you. Each day the people can go out and pick up as much food as they need for that day. I will test them in this to see whether or not they will follow my instructions.  Exodus 16:4
                              
                            Then the foreign rabble who were traveling with the Israelites began to crave the good things of Egypt. And the people of Israel also began to complain. “Oh, for some meat!” they exclaimed.  5  “We remember the fish we used to eat for free in Egypt. And we had all the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic we wanted.  6  But now our appetites are gone. All we ever see is this manna!” Numbers 11:4-6


                            Then the whole community began weeping aloud, and they cried all night.  2  Their voices rose in a great chorus of protest against Moses and Aaron. “If only we had died in Egypt, or even here in the wilderness!” they complained.  3  “Why is the  Lord  taking us to this country only to have us die in battle? Our wives and our little ones will be carried off as plunder! Wouldn’t it be better for us to return to Egypt?”  Numbers 14:1-3


                            Right before we step into the Promise Land, the enemy is trying to get us back to slavery


                            Then they plotted among themselves, “Let’s choose a new leader and go back to Egypt!” Numbers 14:4


                            It took 40 days to get Israel out of Egypt. But it took 40 years to get Egypt out of Israel


                            Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  7  Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

                            Breaking Free: Finding Liberty in the Face of Chaos
                            • How will we respond to the presence of God?
                            • Plague #1 River turned to blood (Exodus 7:15-18)


                              15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning, as he is going out to the water. Stand on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that turned into a serpent. 16 And you shall say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness.” But so far, you have not obeyed. 17 Thus says the LORD, “By this you shall know that I am the LORD: behold, with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the Nile, and it shall turn into blood. 18 The fish in the Nile shall die, and the Nile will stink, and the Egyptians will grow weary of drinking water from the Nile.
                              • Everything We Trust in Can Fail — But God Never Does.
                              • When we elevate anything above God, we risk having it exposed as powerless.
                              • Even When Life Feels Out of Control — God Is Moving
                              • Psalm 46:1-2 reminds us that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.


                                Plague #2 The Frogs (Exodus 8:1-15)


                                3 The Nile shall swarm with frogs that shall come up into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and your kneading bowls. 4 The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your servants.
                                • Chaos Invades the Ordinary.
                                • Plague #3 Gnats (Exodus 8:17-19)


                                  17 And they did so. Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and there were gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became gnats in all the land of Egypt. 18 The magicians tried by their secret arts to produce gnats, but they could not. So there were gnats on man and beast. 19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the Lord had said.
                                  • God’s hand is at work not just in big miracles, but also in the small, seemingly insignificant moments of our lives.
                                  • Plague #4 Flies (Exodus 8:20-32)


                                    20 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning and present yourself to Pharaoh, as he goes out to the water, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Let my people go, that they may serve me. 21 Or else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and your servants and your people, and into your houses. And the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they stand. 22 But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where my people dwell, so that no swarms of flies shall be there, that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
                                    • He calls us to surrender, not negotiate.
                                    • Plague #5 Plague on Livestock (Exodus 9:1-7)


                                      1…..“Let my people go, that they may serve me. 2 For if you refuse to let them go and still hold them, 3 behold, the hand of the Lord will fall with a very severe plague upon your livestock that are in the field, the horses, the donkeys, the camels, the herds, and the flocks. 4 But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing of all that belongs to the people of Israel shall die.
                                      • Holding on to what no longer serves us only deepens our pain and frustration, preventing healing and growth.
                                      • Plague #6 Boils (Exodus 9:8-12)


                                        8 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from the kiln, and let Moses throw them in the air in the sight of Pharaoh. 9 It shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and become boils breaking out in sores on man and beast throughout all the land of Egypt.”
                                        • Even when no one else understands, God sees you, knows your heart, and offers His comfort and peace.
                                        • Plague #7 Hail (Exodus 9:13-35)


                                          14 For this time I will send all my plagues on you yourself, and on your servants and your people, so that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth…. 20 Then whoever feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh hurried his slaves and his livestock into the houses, 21 but whoever did not pay attention to the word of the Lord left his slaves and his livestock in the field.
                                          • The choices we make don't just impact us—they influence everyone around us.
                                          • Plague #8 Locusts (Exodus 10:1-20)


                                            16 Then Pharaoh hastily called Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you. 17 Now therefore, forgive my sin, please, only this once, and plead with the Lord your God only to remove this death from me.” 18 So he went out from Pharaoh and pleaded with the Lord. 19 And the Lord turned the wind into a very strong west wind, which lifted the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust was left in all the country of Egypt. 20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go.
                                            • Total surrender is what God desires, not a conditional, bargain-driven faith.
                                            • Plague #9 Darkness (Exodus 10:21-29)


                                              27 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go. 28 Then Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me; take care never to see my face again, for on the day you see my face you shall die.” 29 Moses said, “As you say! I will not see your face again.”
                                              • No matter how deep the darkness may feel, God promises to illuminate our path and bring us to freedom.
                                              • Plague #10 Firstborn (Exodus 12:29-32)


                                                30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where someone was not dead. 31 Then he summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Up, go out from among my people, both you and the people of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as you have said. 32 Take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone, and bless me also!”
                                                • The reality of sin’s judgment is clear, yet Jesus' sacrifice grants us mercy and eternal life.
