Q&A: “Did God Harden Pharaoh’s Heart?” - DJ Dickerson
from La Porte Church of Christ Podcast · host La Porte Church of Christ
In this Asking for a Friend lesson, we tackle one of Scripture’s most challenging questions: Did God harden Pharaoh’s heart—or did Pharaoh harden it himself? Walking through the account in Exodus, we examine the biblical pattern of resistance, mercy, and judgment, discovering that God did not override Pharaoh’s will—but ultimately confirmed him in the path he repeatedly chose. Along the way, we explore God’s patience, human responsibility, and the sobering reality that hearts can harden gradually through delayed obedience. This lesson calls each of us to honest self-examination, reminding us that today is the time to respond to God’s voice, before resistance becomes hardness.
