Dr. Mike Harder starts his sermon with a brief acknowledgment of gratitude for prayers during the conflict in Israel and his father’s safety, both while in country and in his ability to get the last ticket on the last flight out of Tel Aviv. He then delves deeply into the spiritual teachings from the book of Exodus, focusing on chapter 7, which narrates the initial confrontations between Moses, Aaron, and Pharaoh. Dr. Harder explores the significance of God’s power and sovereignty as displayed through the signs and wonders in Egypt. Drawing parallels from personal experiences, he recounts watching the movie “Rudy” with his family, using it as an allegory for perseverance and faith. He emphasizes the importance of not letting life’s challenges harden one’s heart and encourages listeners to remain receptive to God’s word and guidance.
