S02E04 - Exodus 4-5: A Sovereign Plan, A Hardened Heart

In this sermon covering the end of Exodus chapter 4 and all of chapter 5, Stephen Armstrong explores the challenging beginnings of Moses' mission to liberate Israel. The message delves into the profound theological concept of God's sovereignty, particularly His explicit plan to harden Pharaoh's heart to display His ultimate power. Armstrong also provides a detailed interpretation of the enigmatic "Bridegroom of Blood" incident, presenting it as a vital lesson on the necessity of a leader's personal obedience. As the narrative moves to the initial confrontation with Pharaoh, the sermon examines the immediate backlash—the Israelites' increased suffering, their blame of Moses, and Moses' own despairing lament to God. This powerful account is used to illustrate the true nature of serving God, where hardship is often part of the plan and faithfulness is more important than immediate, apparent success.
