Moses Before Pharoah - Part 3 (Exodus 9:13 - 10: 29)
In this episode, we continue exploring the story of Moses and his encounters with Pharaoh. The focus is on reaching stubborn and hard-hearted unbelievers for Christ, using the example of Pharaoh as a case study.
The episode starts with Moses wondering what more he can do to reach Pharaoh, who repeatedly refuses to obey the Lord's commands. This sets the stage for understanding the dynamics of reaching stubborn unbelievers.

Moses and Aaron confront Pharaoh once again, urging him to let the people go. Pharaoh's servants also recognize the destructive consequences of his actions and advise him to release the Israelites. Pharaoh initially agrees to let only the men go, but Moses insists that they will go with their entire community, including the young
