In part 4 of this series of sermons covering the early chapters of the book of Exodus in depth, we examine the pattern of the plagues, Egypt’s plethora of gods and goddesses, the meaning of God’s statement He was executing judgment “against all the gods of Egypt,” the importance of the Nile River to Egypt’s people, agriculture and economy, how it might’ve been “turned to blood,” what the first four plagues were and how they were directed at Egypt’s gods and goddesses of the Nile River, childbirth, the earth and the sun.
