There's Pain In The Promise
May 6, 2026
God made a promise to Abraham — and 400 years of silence, slavery, and suffering
couldn't stop it.
Pastor Jeff Cramer opens the book of Exodus with Israel 400 years removed from
Joseph — now 2 million strong, and enslaved. A new Pharaoh who never knew Joseph
has imposed forced labor, bitter oppression, and a mandate to kill every Hebrew
boy at birth. Jeff grounds the series in the theme of Exodus: deliverance — the
action of being rescued and set free. The promise was never cancelled. It was just
being tested.
