In Exodus chapters 7–10, God sends the first nine plagues on Egypt; not randomly, but intentionally; to confront and dismantle the false gods that had taken root in both Egypt and the lives of His own people. In this message, Pastor Josh Gerard shows how each plague was a direct challenge to an Egyptian god, revealing the supremacy of the one true God. Beginning with judgment and culminating in divine separation, God draws a clear distinction between those who belong to Him and those who resist Him. The plagues are both a warning and an invitation: to turn from false gods, choose light over darkness, and give God first place in our lives.
