Hey, this is David Platt. I want to invite you to something I look forward to every year.

Secret Church. This night exists to help us identify with many of our brothers and sisters around the world who have no choice but to gather in secret,

often at great risk, just to open God's word. Once a year, over 50,000 believers around the world gather online

with one intention to study scripture for six hours, to be shaped by it, and to pray for our

persecuted brothers and sisters. This year, we'll study the life of Elijah. We'll pray specifically

for those who are suffering for their faith and will act together to make Jesus known among the nations.

Early registration of the best rate is now open until February 17th. Register at radical.net slash secret church.

The whole chapter begins in Exodus chapter 11, verse 1.

Yet one more plague I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt.

Afterward, he will let you go from here.
