Isaiah's Prophecy and Pharaoh's Hardened Heart (Time 5:22)
Jared discussed the prophecy of Isaiah and its interpretation in the context of Romans and Exodus. He elaborated on this concept by referring to the example of Pharaoh in Exodus, emphasizing that Pharaoh's hardened heart resulted from his stubbornness and not a consequence of God's actions.
Biblical Study and Discussion - (Time 11:32)

The discussion concluded with a reading from Psalms and a prayer. Jared mentioned that the study of Acts would resume on the following Monday.
