Join the teaching pastors of CBS church as they dive deep into Exodus 5:1-23 and the challenging experience of Moses and Aaron's first encounter with Pharaoh. This pivotal moment, where their obedience to God is immediately met with increased suffering and opposition, offers powerful insights for believers today.

In this Sermon Conversation, we discuss:

The Shock of Resistance: Why is it that stepping out in faith and obedience to God often leads to opposition, not ease?

A Crisis of Belief: We explore Moses's raw, broken honesty with God after his plan seems to backfire, and how we can relate to that feeling of "Why did you send me?"

Opposition as Affirmation: The idea that sometimes, resistance is actually a sign you are in God's will and a signal that you are a threat to the enemy's kingdom.

The Power of Honesty: The importance of bringing our difficult questions, complaints, and brokenness to God, just as Moses did, knowing He is patient and will meet us there.

Trust vs. Belief: The difference between believing in God's ability and trusting Him enough to step into the "wheelbarrow" despite the fear.

Beyond Comfort: Why comfort can be "the enemy of the day" in the Western church and how trials build deep, intimate relationship with God, which is more important than the task itself.
