The Plague of Hunger

In this message from The Feast series, Caleb traces the story from Genesis to Exodus, showing how God’s ordered, abundant feast in Eden contrasts sharply with Pharaoh’s chaotic domination in Egypt. 

When humans distrust God’s provision, they grasp, control, and oppress—and Pharaoh becomes the embodiment of that disorder, leveraging fear and violence to hoard power. The plagues, then, are not random acts of rage but a dramatic “wake-up call,” an undoing of creation that exposes what life looks like when God’s order is rejected. Through humor and a vivid object lesson with the kids, Caleb highlights a deeper truth: chaos can replicate chaos, but only God restores order. Ultimately, he points to Jesus as the true and final reordering of creation—the One who enters into our disorder, suffers under oppressive power, and rises to restore us to the feast.
