Most of us can agree that times are tough here in South Africa. Corruption, loadshedding, economic decline – I don’t need to depress you anymore. But elections are around the corner. It’s absolutely possible that this election will bring a positive change. But there is also the real possibility that things may just get a whole lot worse. That we’ll jump from the pan into the fire…

In this text, we see that Moses and Aaron come before Pharaoh and ask him to let the people of Israel go. He stubbornly refuses and on top of that, he significantly increases the level of brutality and cruelty inflicted upon Israel. They are pushed from the pan into the fire. They thought things couldn’t get worse and now they just have. And it all seems like a sick joke. God has just promised them through Moses that he would deliver them out of slavery. That promise is now really hard to believe in the midst of their new found circumstances.

What we’re going to see here is that even though things may get very bad and may even seem that God is nowhere to be found, he remains faithful, even when we are faithless.

Preacher: Rev. Antonio Coppola.
