"Why did God send the plagues?" They weren’t just punishments—they were declarations of His power over all creation. Each plague struck at Egypt’s gods, proving that Yahweh alone is Lord.

— 

The ten plagues were not random disasters; they were strategic acts of divine authority. Each one progressively dismantled the Egyptian belief system, proving their gods powerless before the God of Israel. Water turned to blood mocked the Nile god, darkness silenced the sun god, and the death of the firstborn shattered Pharaoh’s own claim to divinity.

God wasn’t just setting His people free—He was making a statement to the nations. The same power that overthrew Egypt’s gods still reigns today. Will we recognize Him as Lord, or harden our hearts as Pharaoh did? Discover how God reveals His authority in every generation in today’s message.
