This is the stuff of horror movies—a river turning to blood, insects everywhere, thick darkness. We don’t like to read about it or even imagine it. But it’s part of the Bible, and “all Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching” (2 Tim. 3:16).

What can we learn from biblical passages about the plagues in Egypt? Pharaoh was the leader of a nation, and his rebellion against God had far-reaching consequences for many people. But sin still destroys today, whether on a large scale or a smaller one.

In this message, Dr. Stanley explores the Egyptian leader’s disobedience, and discusses the importance of identifying weakness and pursuing genuine repentance, as individuals and as a nation. Choosing what honors God will bring change, forgiveness, and restoration.
