November 16th 2025 – God Sees and Hears – Job 34:10-30 by Exchange Church Shepparton

Have you ever felt invisible? Like your pain, your questions, or your quiet struggles go unnoticed? This week we're diving into one of the most beautiful names of God in Scripture: El Roi—"The God Who Sees Me" (Genesis 16:13). No detail of your life escapes His notice. Every tear, every fear, every moment you feel alone—He sees it all. And seeing isn't passive with God; it's personal, loving, and powerful. He doesn't just observe—He draws near, He speaks, and He heals. God invites us to cast all of our cares on Him because He cares for us.  He also invites us to exchange our yoke and our burden for His because His is easy and His is light.  Remember, you are never out of His sight. You are deeply known, and truly loved by El Roi, the God Who Sees You!

God often has a perspective that is different than ours, something we can solve by receiving truth and getting healing. Unhealed wounds and false beliefs can blind us, making it easy to head in destructive directions. Find out how you can abandon the Dirt Perspective and adopt the Peak Perspective

God sees us as his children, but has that sunk in as a truth about ourselves or do think of ourselves as less than that? Visit rollinghills.org/worship to learn how you can interact with others on the Soul Care Blog.

In this deeply moving conversation, Prophetess Paula Farlin unpacks the powerful truth found in Exodus 2:23–25, that you are never alone. My take-away- no matter your circumstances, your challenges, God hears, God remembers and God acknowledges. Always remember in those moments of despair or doubt, God's word still stands. Like Hagar, you too can say "You are my God- The God who sees me." ProphetessPaula reminds us that even in seasons of silence, God is very much attentive, present, and preparing things to work out for your good.Scriptures for further reference:Job 34:21 says, “For God's eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step.”Genesis 16:13 - She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” Proverbs 15:3 says, “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, observing the evil and the good.”I am reminded even myself that God knows every chapter of my story and will redeem my story for His glory. We hope you enjoy this episode.    God bless you and Go Rise Up!@Into The Garden

Unplugging from the Matrix: Spiritual Training for Real Life In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings dive into the metaphor-rich world of The Matrix to explore how spiritual training transforms our ability to live with power, love, and freedom. Just like Neo needed to learn the rules of the system, believers must become aware of the unseen battle between good and evil—and train accordingly. Drawing from personal stories, Scripture (like Galatians 5), and scenes from The Matrix, they challenge listeners to discern spiritual reality, recognize enemy tactics, and lean into the guidance of the Trinity. This episode is a call to vigilance, spiritual growth, and choosing to walk in the authority and identity we've been given. Whether you're facing internal "agents" of fear, shame, or distraction, or learning to discern the voice of the Spirit, this episode reminds you: training isn't optional—it's essential. We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!

The Sin of Achan | God's Justice and Grace Revealed | 11 03 2025

An episode from Lukfata Baptist Church, a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. The mission of Lukfata Baptist Church is to be obedient to the words of Christ who is the head of the church and commands us to “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.”  (Matthew 28:19, 20) Lukfata Baptist Church (LBC) believes in sending the message of the gospel into all the world (Mk. 16:15).  When we're unable to take the gospel to foreign lands personally, we can help send those who go in our place.  LBC maintains a missionary zeal, and we are excited to be partnered together with those families who are bringing the life-giving message of the gospel to the furthest corners of the globe. You may write to LBC at: Lukfata Baptist Church1444 Lukfata Church Rd,Broken Bow, OK 74728Our video messages are also available for you at the following locations:YouTube-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@lukfatabaptistchurch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/LukfataBaptist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Be sure to Subscribe to our channel and/or Like and Follow LBC on Facebook so that you will be notified the next time we are live! Have A Blessed Day  The KJV Bible Preaching Churches Podcast is directly supported by Doss Metrics LLC | Ministry Services based out of Cleveland Texas.

Focus:   Discernment is more than gathering and analyzing data. Discernment develops the capacity to perceive where God is at work in the global and local situation in order to choose what better leads to the glory of God, which is nothing other than the fullness of human life. –Arturo Sosa, S.J.

Pastor G talks about how we can too easily allow our emotions to impact the way we see people.

Do you ever feel unseen in the endless responsibilities of motherhood, work, and everyday life? In this episode, we're talking about the powerful truth that even when the world overlooks you — God never does. He sees every unseen act of love, every sacrifice, every quiet prayer… and He treasures you, not just what you do. Whether you're feeling exhausted, unappreciated, or questioning if any of it matters — this is your reminder that your worth is not measured by recognition or productivity. You are God's beloved daughter, fully seen, known, and deeply loved. In this episode, you'll be reminded: Why God pays attention to the hidden, everyday moments no one else sees The truth about your worth when you feel unseen or unappreciated How to rest in being loved before you perform, produce, or prove anything A grounding encouragement you can carry into your day — right where you are This episode is for you if you've ever thought: “Does anyone even notice all that I do?” “I feel invisible — and I'm so tired.” “I want to know that my quiet, unseen work matters.” “I just need to feel God's love in the middle of real life — not just in the quiet moments.” If you're craving peace, reassurance, and a fresh reminder of God's love for you as His daughter, this message will meet you right where you are.   Resources Mentioned: ✨ Practical tools and faith-based encouragement to help you stay grounded in God's love — linked in the show notes

Message from Dale Cuckow on October 26, 2025

Crystal Rivers | Kingdom Mysteries | Oct 22, 2025 Trade theory for transformation: you were created for the Melchizedek way—the original human vocation Adam practiced, Abraham rediscovered, and Christ fulfilled—where worship actually changes you. Move intentionally from “milk” to “solid food” until your senses are trained to discern good from evil, you become skillful in the word of righteousness, and you live in “eternal judgment”—not condemnation, but clear sight. Read Scripture like an apprentice who lingers: line upon line, it rewires how you think and links its own themes—such as forgiveness and healing belonging together (the soul's healing often being the forgiveness of sins). Recognize that spectacular signs can shift circumstances (Moses parted seas, fed a nation, wrapped them in cloud and fire), yet only Christ's life cures the heart; His signs point to inner transformation. Understand judgment and righteousness as one reality: spiritual beings “see” by the light they carry; God's light does not manufacture death—it exposes what already harms you. That is why judgment is revelation: when God draws near, reality becomes visible. God shares His light through His word—“Your word is a lamp”—and as you receive it, faith lets you see as He sees; righteousness is credited (imputed) and then formed in you as you practice agreement through works of faith. Expect tangible shifts: peace replacing fear, clarity replacing confusion, bondage breaking as heaven's realities (often ministered by angels) touch your inner life—like Isaiah's lips purged so he could speak cleanly. Walk the Hebrews 5–6 path as progressive responses to God's voice—repentance, faith toward God, baptisms (deep immersion/indoctrination into His ways), laying on of hands (impartation and service), resurrection (living by new-creation power), and eternal judgment (stable discernment). This journey aims at perfection—mature sonship—where mastery becomes your “crown of righteousness” and your life consistently sees, chooses, and acts in step with God's light. Because the priesthood changed, the law governing you has changed: you are invited to live “from faith to faith,” feasting on God, sowing His word into your heart like good soil, and practicing righteousness until agreement with God becomes your natural atmosphere—the true promised land flowing with milk (foundations) and honey (glory).

This week, we'll be studying Genesis 16:1-16 under the theme "God Sees You." In their long wait for a child, Abram and Sarai, acting as if God needed their help, took matters into their own hands—a decision that led to scheming, blame, and the mistreatment of their servant, Hagar. But in her desperate flight, Hagar was found by the Angel of the LORD. In an act of profound insight, she gave a name to the God who met her in the wilderness: El Roi, "the God who sees me." Her story assures us that, even when we feel completely invisible, we are seen, known, and sought by a God who meets us in our pain.Series Summary: Our fall worship series will lead us through the Book of Genesis, arguably the most profound, insightful text in human history. Over this series, we'll uncover how the narratives of Genesis reveal God's design for creation, humanity, relationships, and purpose. We'll explore truths that continue to shape our lives today, from the Garden of Eden to the promise of redemption.Add St. Marcus as your church on the Church Center App!Fill out our online connection cardHow can we pray for you?

Even in the depths of the sea, God is near. In this episode, Michaela shares a story from her most recent Marine Biology Trip — a time when she longed to dive beneath the waves but found herself confined to her wheelchair and struggling with discouragement. Yet, even there, on the surface of the ocean, God met her.Join Michael and Michaela as they reflect on how God sees us — in our pain, isolation, and frustration — and how He lovingly reminds us that we are never alone. Whether through nature, a gentle whisper, or the kindness of a friend, God's presence is constant and personal.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane and Michaela Vorwerk .

Welcome to another episode of WWJD, I am always so excited to record these episodes and share with you, thoughts, experiences and how we can learn from them through the eyes of Jesus.God shared with me when I woke up this morning the words; my belief system lies in how God sees me, not what has happened to me.Today we delve deeper in to this and seek scripture to support these words aswell as talking about situations in life today and how we can respond through the eyes of Jesus.

Portrait: See What God Sees in You Pt. 3 (William Bell)

Genesis 6:1-12

We live into the identity we behold. That's the central truth explored in this message, which looks at God not only as Creator—but as Artist. From the very beginning, God created mankind in His image, and He continues to shape and reveal that image in us today. Just as a great portrait captures more than a likeness—it reflects soul, story, and destiny—so too, God's Word and presence are like a mirror that shows us the best of who we are becoming. In contrast to the false mirrors of shame, inferiority, or regret, this message explores how Jesus is the perfect portrait: both aspirational and relatable, reflecting the fullness of God and the redemption of our truest selves. When we allow God to show us who we really are, it transforms how we live, love, and serve.

When it comes to the topic of spiritual gifts, Scripture has often been misinterpreted and incorrectly applied by Christians throughout the history of the church. So how can we gain a proper understanding of this important issue? We'll get that answer on this broadcast of The Bible Study Hour as Dr. James Boice explains how a simple comma can alter the entire meaning of a passage.

Bible Reading: Psalm 51:1-10; Matthew 23:25-28"Wow, Mom! Look at that huge caramel apple!" Zayne exclaimed when he and his mom walked into the grocery store. "Can I get it to take to school tomorrow?""Well, a regular apple would be better for you, but that one is a beauty," Mom said. "Okay. You can have it this time."During class the next morning, Zayne thought about the caramel apple in his lunch bag. His mouth watered as he imagined biting into it. He was glad when lunchtime finally came. Sandwich first, Zayne told himself. Then the carrot sticks. At last he pulled out the apple. He held it up to show his friends, and one of them tried to grab it. Zayne laughed and quickly bit into it. To his great dismay, the inside of the apple was soft and brown, and it tasted horrible! He tried to just eat the caramel on the outside, but he kept getting some of the soft apple with it.When Zayne got home, he opened the refrigerator to find a snack. There in the fruit bin were several shiny red apples. He looked at them, but chose a cheese stick instead. "I don't trust apples anymore," he told Mom when she took one out. "The one we bought yesterday was no good. I had to throw it away." "What a shame," said Mom, shaking her head. "It was so pretty!" She grinned at Zayne. "But you know, it's a good reminder of how we can be like that apple.""We can?" asked Zayne. "How?""People aren't always what they appear to be," Mom explained. "It's pretty easy for us to hide thoughts and feelings from other people--it's even possible for us to keep others from seeing sin we're holding on to in our lives. But we can't hide anything from God. He isn't fooled by false outer appearances because He sees our hearts. Even if no one else knows about wrong things we're doing or thinking about others, He does. And if we confess them to Jesus, He will forgive us and make us clean."Mom cut into her apple. "You can see the inside of this apple now, and it looks great," she told Zayne as she handed him a slice. "Have a piece." –Karen R. LocklearHow About You?Have you learned how to hide sin in your life from others? You may be able to fool other people, but you can't fool God. The Pharisees in today's Bible reading were able to make themselves look good to people, but Jesus saw what was in their hearts--and He sees what's in your heart too. If there's sin in your heart, confess it to Jesus so He can make you clean. Today's Key Verse:You [God] alone know every human heart. (CSB) (1 Kings 8:39 )Today's Key Thought:God sees your heart
