Villains of the Bible: Pharaoh, A Hard Heart Towards God

It’s season 3, Villains of the Bible. Who is this God? I don’t even know Him. These were the first words recorded by Pharaoh in the Bible, but by the time the ten plagues were over Pharaoh knew who God was. By the time the ten plagues were over it was his hard heart towards God that cost him his life. Your Church Friends have an intriguing conversation about how Pharaoh lost it all because he refused to soften his heart to God.
