Plagued by Faith: How the Plagues of Egypt Reveal the Relentless Love of God

What if the story of the ten plagues wasn’t just about the God of Israel’s judgment on Egypt, but about his relentless pursuit to redeem? In Plagued by Faith, pastors Dalton and Old Testament scholar Rick Wadholm Jr. reveal the surprising beauty within one of Scripture’s most challenging narratives. Far from being mere displays of divine wrath, the plagues of Egypt were surgical strikes against false gods and mindsets, designed not to destroy, but to liberate both Israel and Egypt from the idols that enslaved them. Through rich biblical insight and honest pastoral reflection, this pastoral and devotional guide explores how God still dismantles the false securities we cling to: our need for control, our worship of circumstances, and our addiction to counterfeit solutions that only make problems worse. Each chapter reveals how the God who plagued Egypt is the same God who pursues you today with fierce, redemptive love. Whether you’re struggling in your faith, leading others through difficult seasons, or simply seeking fresh insight into God’s character, Plagued by Faith will help you see that even in one of Scripture’s most difficult passages, God’s heart is always redemption. Perfect for personal study, small groups, or sermon preparation.
