The first step in knowing God is unlearning everything you think you know.
In Exodus 7–10, God doesn’t just free His people from Egypt—He dismantles Egypt’s entire way of seeing the world. Through the Ten Plagues, He reveals Himself by unmaking their reality and tearing down the false gods they had trusted for meaning, security, and control.
In this message, we'll explore our response to the God who hides in plain sight, kills our "gods," and thrusts our lives into emptiness and chaos... so that he can make us new.
