In this message, we explore the Exodus as more than a rescue story. It is God's decisive confrontation with the false gods and misplaced trusts of Egypt. The plagues reveal the bankruptcy of anything we elevate as ultimate, while Pharaoh’s “heavy” heart exposes the cost of clinging to power, control, and violence. Ultimately, the story points us to Jesus, who leads us out of captivity to lesser gods and into true freedom with the living God.
