Exodus Chapter 11

This sermon explores the final plague against Egypt - the death of the firstborn. The message reveals a pattern throughout Scripture where God chooses the weak, the second-born, and the unlikely over the strong and powerful. Israel, described as God's 'firstborn son,' is actually a nation of 'not firstborns' - from Abraham to Moses, God consistently elevates the humble and brings down the mighty. This pattern culminates in Jesus, the true firstborn who laid down His rights and took the curse upon Himself. The sermon challenges believers to embrace this upside-down kingdom where the last are first, calling them to lay down their lives in service rather than grasping for power and position.
