Why Does It Get Harder Before It Gets Better?
May 18, 2026
God hasn't brought you this far to let you down.
Pastor Jeff Cramer works through the second half of Exodus 5 — conditions get
worse after Moses delivers God's message to Pharaoh. The brick quota stays, the
straw is gone, and the Israelites turn on Moses entirely. Jeff traces three
reasons things heat up when God is moving, and closes with Moses doing what he's
done before: going back to God and questioning the whole assignment. Two simple
truths for anyone in a season where the pressure keeps building and God feels
silent.
