Just weeks after their miraculous escape, the Israelites find themselves grumbling again, longing for the "pots of meat" of their Egyptian slavery. In response, God provides supernatural bread from heaven—Manna. But this gift comes with a test. In this study of Exodus 16, Pastor Stephen Armstrong unpacks this famous story, revealing how the daily provision of manna and the introduction of the Sabbath were designed to test the heart of the nation. More importantly, he connects this historical account directly to Jesus's powerful teaching in John 6, showing how the Manna was always a picture of Christ, the true Bread of Life. Discover the crucial difference between a full stomach and a faithful heart, and learn what it means to trust God's daily provision without looking back.

Pastor Stephen Armstrong leads an in-depth examination of the Red Sea Crossing, one of the most iconic and miraculous events in the Bible. This sermon explores not just what happened, but precisely how and where it likely took place. Delving into biblical scholarship, Pastor Armstrong presents compelling scriptural and circumstantial evidence that the true crossing point may not have been the traditional location at the Gulf of Suez, but rather the much deeper Gulf of Aqaba.

Experience the escalating tension as Israel, appearing hopelessly lost and trapped, becomes the divine "bait" to lure Pharaoh's hardened heart into a final, catastrophic confrontation. The teaching powerfully illustrates God's sovereignty over the events, as He deliberately maneuvers both His people and their pursuers according to His ultimate purpose. See how Moses acts in faith, wielding the staff as a symbol of God's power, while the nation vacillates between fear, complaint, and eventual awe.

The sermon culminates in a detailed walk-through of the crossing itself, from the parting of the waters to the miraculous protection of God's people by the pillar of fire and cloud. Ultimately, Pastor Armstrong presents this account as an unwavering testimony to God's precise timing, His unmatched power over creation, His faithfulness to His covenant people, and His glory displayed in the complete and total defeat of their enemies.

In this fascinating study of Exodus, Pastor Stephen Armstrong navigates the transition from judgment to journey as the nation of Israel takes its first steps out of Egypt. This sermon tackles one of the Bible's most widely misunderstood chronologies: the 430-year period of Israel's sojourn. By carefully piecing together clues from Exodus, Genesis, and Galatians, Pastor Armstrong presents a masterful reconciliation of the biblical timelines, demonstrating that Israel's time in Egypt was not 430 years, but 215—perfectly aligning with the prophetic timetable God laid out for Abraham generations earlier.

This lesson explores the practical and spiritual significance of this pivotal moment. Witness God's incredible providence as He ensures Israel is not just freed, but enriched—leaving with the very wealth of Egypt as their back pay for centuries of slavery. The teaching highlights Joseph's unwavering faith, kept alive through generations by the solemn oath to carry his bones to the Promised Land. Finally, learn about the powerful and enduring symbols God institutes at this moment: the consecration of the firstborn and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, memorials designed to forever remind Israel and believers today of their deliverance through judgment, their sanctification in the wilderness, and their ultimate redemption.

Pastor Stephen Armstrong brings the narrative of God's judgments on Egypt to its powerful and poignant climax with an in-depth exploration of the tenth plague and the institution of the Passover. This sermon reveals how this final judgment stands apart from all others, serving not merely as a punishment but as a permanent memorial and the most detailed prophetic picture of Jesus Christ in the entire Old Testament.

The teaching begins by unpacking a profound theological truth: God's command for Israel to completely reorder their calendar, making the month of their redemption the new beginning of their year. Pastor Armstrong masterfully explains how this act shifted their national identity from a theology of works and judgment to one centered on substitutionary sacrifice and grace.

Listeners will journey through the meticulous instructions for the Passover Lamb—unblemished, brought into the home, inspected, and sacrificed at the precise moment "between the evenings." Each detail is shown to be a stunning and unmistakable parallel to the final week of Christ's life, from His triumphal entry into His "Father's house" to His final, perfect sacrifice on the cross. Discover how the application of the lamb's blood is an act of faith that saves, and how the subsequent Feast of Unleavened Bread perfectly pictures the Christian's ongoing walk of sanctification. This is not just a historical event; it is the masterwork of God's redemptive plan, foretold in stunning detail thousands of years before its ultimate fulfillment.

Pastor Stephen Armstrong advances his compelling study of Exodus by examining the devastating final series of judgments before the Passover: Hail, Locusts, and Darkness. This sermon delves deeper than mere historical recounting, opening with a profound explanation of God's sovereign purpose behind the plagues. Drawing a powerful connection to Romans 9, Pastor Armstrong reveals why God allowed Pharaoh, a "vessel of wrath," to continue—in order to display His ultimate power and make His glory known to Israel, the "vessels of mercy."

Witness the mounting pressure as Egypt is systematically unraveled by fire-laced hail, an all-consuming swarm of locusts, and a terrifying, palpable darkness. The sermon highlights the dramatic moments of this spiritual showdown: the revolt of Pharaoh's own servants, the king's increasingly desperate but insincere repentance, and Moses' role as a bold intercessor before God. Ultimately, this message explores the crucial difference between worldly sorrow and true repentance, revealing how even in judgment, God's ultimate aim is the instruction and eternal blessing of His people.

Pastor Stephen Armstrong continues his detailed study of Exodus by examining the first six plagues, or judgments, that God brought upon Egypt. Moving through the first two cycles of three judgments, this sermon analyzes the specific pattern of each plague, from the river of blood to the terrifying boils.

Discover how each judgment was not a random catastrophe but a direct, surgical strike against the pagan gods of Egypt, systematically deconstructing their authority and exposing their impotence. Pastor Armstrong explores the fascinating confrontation between the power of God and the counterfeit miracles of Pharaoh's magicians, revealing the limits of Satan's power to imitate but never create or undo God's work.

This teaching also unveils the powerful prophetic layer within these events, showing how the plagues of Exodus serve as a foreshadowing, or "type," of the coming judgments in the Tribulation. Trace the progression of Pharaoh's hardened heart and see how God uses even this resistance to fully reveal His power and purpose to both Israel and the world.
