About This Message

Working through Exodus 5 and into chapter 6, Pastor Addison cautions against reading every hardship as God closing the door. Moses obeyed God's clear command, yet Pharaoh hardened his heart and the people's burdens grew heavier, until both Moses and Israel trusted their circumstances over God's word. God answered by bringing them back to His promises, calling believers to keep trusting and obeying what He has revealed.

Key Takeaways

  • Discern God's will from His Word, not from circumstances alone.
  • Hardship after obedience may be resistance from Satan, not a closed door.
  • When circumstances look bleak, return to God's promises and keep trusting and obeying.
