Exodus 10:21-29 Darkness Summary: Have you ever been afraid of the dark? If so, you might be able to imagine the fear that came upon the Egyptians when God blocked out the sun for three days in their land. It was so dark, no one could even leave their homes! God was showing His ultimate power to Pharaoh. But He protected his people and gave them light. Let's listen in today, and remember that, if we know Jesus, we have the Light of the World: 1. The defeat of the sun god 2. The darkness of sin 3. The Light of the world Verse: John 8:12 (ESV)...“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Questions for personal and family worship.
