"The God Who Sees Me" - Daniel Self - 7/19/2026 by Orchard Audio Ministry

Being “seen” is a basic, God-given human need. We all need to know that we matter in someone's eyes. In Genesis 16, and the story of Hagar, we discover that God is the one who notices and cares for the outsider—the ones excluded or pushed out. And this is perfectly seen in Jesus, who has come to “seek and to save what was lost” (Luke 19:10). And those who are found, are now called to “see” others.

The Apostle D. Todd Harrison: The God Who Sees, Provides, and Delivers—2 Kings 2–7 for Our DayAs one who really does know, I testify that the God of Elijah and Elisha lives today. I have been blessed to have seen His hand in the lives of His people. I have watched Him open doors no man could open, multiply strength when hope seemed gone, and surround His children with protection that only heaven can provide.I bear witness that the mantle of the Lord is real. I have been both greatly blessed and greatly burdened by it for many years now. Yet, the Lord has continued to personally teach me that when we step forward in faith, the God who parted the Jordan will part our obstacles. The God who filled empty vessels will fill our empty hearts. The God who opened the eyes of Elisha's servant will open our eyes to the armies of light standing with us.As a witness of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, I testify that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He sees you. He provides for you. He delivers you. And He will continue to manifest His power in your life as you walk the covenant path with steadfast faith.I leave the Lord's blessing upon you this day. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.The Apostle D. Todd HarrisonDirect Apostle of Jesus Christ Called directly by the Lord Himself—just as Paul was on the Damascus Road (Galatians 1:1; Acts 26:13–20)“Not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead.” — Galatians 1:1Set apart by the Lord according to the ancient pattern Now in the Seventh Year of Global Apostolic Ministry to All Nations

Jehovah-Jireh does not just hand out resources. He intimately sees our deepest needs and has already has our ultimate provision in motion through Jesus Christ.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/providence-the-god-who-sees-to-itHave you ever felt like God was absent in the pain, invisible in the ordinary, or silent in the waiting? Through the story of Ruth, we discover that God's providence isn't just present in those moments—it's actively working. From devastating loss to faithful obedience to patient waiting, Ruth's journey reveals a God who sees every detail and faithfully governs it all toward redemption, ultimately pointing us to our true refuge in Christ.

A woman on the run. A meeting in the wilderness. A surprising turn that changes the course of history. Join us as we continue Abraham's story in Genesis 16 and discover one of the most beautiful names of God in all of Scripture—El Roi, “the God who sees.”

Today we take a closer look at Hagar's story, and see what a discarded slave woman discovered about the God who sees and hears the forgotten.

This sermon explores the biblical account of Hagar in Genesis 16 to illustrate that God is intimately aware of human suffering and personal struggles. The preacher emphasizes that believers often face dire situations and discouragement, yet they are called to trust in God's sovereign plan rather than resorting to fleshly solutions or fear. By examining Hagar's experience and the subsequent life of Joseph, the message encourages the audience to remain faithful and take courageous steps of obedience even when circumstances seem hopeless. The central theme highlights El Roi, the God who sees, offering comfort and direction to those navigating difficult seasons of life. Ultimately, the sermon urges listeners not to quit but to rely on divine strength to fulfill their purpose.

Exodus is the story of God's people then and still the story of God's people now. Pharaoh and Egypt become this picture of the powers that work against God's desire for human flourishing and freedom, much like the ways the powers and principalities and the patterns of our world still pull people toward oppression, fear, and slavery today.And yet, over and over again, God chooses to partner with unlikely people in the middle of ordinary life to bring about his redemptive purposes in the world.

In this first message, Hagar: The God Who Sees, we reflect on the story of Hagar and discover a powerful truth: God sees us in every season. Even when life feels uncertain, painful, or unnoticed, His presence meets us right where we are. Listen in and be reminded that you are never outside of God's care or attention.

In a world where trust is at an all-time low, it's easy to conclude that we're on our own — that if anything good is going to happen, we'd better make it happen ourselves. But one of the oldest stories in the Bible tells a different story. In this message, we explore what it looks like to stop white-knuckling our lives and trust the God who has already proven He provides.

The God Who Sees the Overlooked | Genesis 29:30–35; 49:29–31 Texts: Genesis 29:30–35; Genesis 49:29–31; Matthew 1:1–3; Revelation 5:5What do you do with the pain of not being chosen?In this powerful standalone message, Pastor Kevin walks through Leah's story and shows how God works through overlooked people, wounded places, and stories marked by rejection. Leah was present, but not preferred. She was in the family, but living with the ache of comparison. And yet the God of Scripture saw what others overlooked.This message traces the movement from Leah's pain, to Judah's birth, to Jacob's final words, and ultimately to Jesus—the Lion of the tribe of Judah—who entered the rejected place to redeem rejected people. It is a reminder that human preference does not determine divine purpose, and being overlooked by people does not mean you have been overlooked by God.If you have ever felt passed over, unseen, unchosen, or defined by rejection, this message points you to the God who sees, remembers, and writes redemption through the very places others dismissed. Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 1:00 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextstepsFollow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

In this message, Richie Reeder preaches from Genesis 21 on the story of Hagar and Ishmael, showing how God sees, hears, and provides for those who have been pushed to the margins. He explores themes of broken families, rejection, and being an outcast, connecting the biblical narrative to the painful but familiar experiences many carry today. Richie concludes by emphasizing that even when others cast us out, God does not cast us aside, and he invites listeners to both recognize God's provision in their own deserts and pursue those who have been forgotten.

Genesis 16 & 21Jeffreylee Matthis

Feeling unseen is one of the most painful human experiences, and it is one that Scripture takes seriously. The story of Hagar in Genesis 16 begins in the middle of a household in chaos. Abram and Sarai, tired of waiting on God's promise of a child, took matters into their own hands. Sarai offered her Egyptian slave Hagar to Abram, and Abram passively agreed. The consequences were immediate and devastating. Hagar became pregnant, Sarai became resentful, and the entire household unraveled. Hagar, who had no voice and no choice in any of it, eventually fled into the desert alone, carrying a child and carrying the weight of everyone else's decisions.What happened next is one of the most remarkable moments in all of Scripture. God did not wait for Hagar to find Him. He went looking for her. He found her near a spring in the desert, spoke to her by name, acknowledged her suffering, and gave her a promise for her future. In response, Hagar did something no one else in Scripture had done quite like this before. She gave God a name: El Roi, meaning the God who sees. She named the well Beer Lahai Roi, the well of the Living One who sees me, so that future generations would know that God had shown up in that exact place for someone the world had overlooked.This same pattern of seeing leading to compassion runs through the life of Jesus. When He saw the crowds, He had compassion and fed thousands. When He saw Mary weeping, He raised Lazarus from the dead. God's seeing always produces movement toward the people He loves. The invitation today is to bring your situation honestly before El Roi, trusting that He sees your condition and knows your name. And then to look around at the people in your own life who may be feeling invisible, and to be the presence of hope for them, because you carry the One who sees everyone.

Migrant Journeys: Hagar - Pastor Hannah Witte - a2cc.org. Watch our livestream Sundays @ 11:00am - vimeo.com/annarborcommunitychurch  Summary: In week two of our Migrant Journeys series, we sit with Hagar—a woman whose story is marked by displacement, exploitation, and loss. Stripped even of the name her mother gave her, Hagar flees into the wilderness where she encounters El Roi, the God Who Sees. God pulls up a chair, listens to her story, and reminds her that she is more than the labels others have placed on her. Hagar's story invites us to remember that every person is an image bearer with immeasurable worth. What if we became people who see as God sees? This sermon invites us to trust that the God who saw Hagar sees us too—in our grief, our longing, and our wilderness seasons. And as we experience being fully seen and fully loved by God, we may find ourselves transformed into people who pull up a chair, truly care about honoring others' dignity, and help cultivate belonging wherever we go.

This week in our Genesis sermon series, Kevin takes us through the story of Hagar and her encounter with God in the wilderness. Though God had promised Abram an heir, Sarai disbelieves and cruelly uses her servant Hagar to marry Abram and bring this to pass. Hagar flees to the desert and is met by the angel of the Lord, who promises to take care of her if she returns to Abram and Sarai. Hagar is the only one in Genesis to give God a name: El Roi, "God who sees." How does the omniscience and omnipresence of God minister to us? How has Christ won for us adoption through His experience of abandonment on the cross? What would it look like if we truly believed God moves toward broken people before they are all cleaned up?

Migrant Journeys: Abraham and Sarah - Pastor Donnell T. Wyche - a2cc.org. Watch our livestream Sundays @ 11:00am - vimeo.com/annarborcommunitychurch  Summary: This sermon reads Genesis 12 as a migration story, following Abraham and Sarah from the inside as displaced people rather than as tidy heroes of faith. It traces their uprooting from the safety of clan and homeland, their flight to Egypt driven by famine, and the cost of their vulnerability there, where a frightened Abram hands Sarai over to Pharaoh to save himself. The turn comes in God's quiet intervention on Sarai's behalf: even when no human being is advocating for the powerless woman in Pharaoh's house, God sees her, and that faithfulness does not depend on Abraham getting it right. Reading through the lens of Karen Gonzalez's The God Who Sees, the message presses the congregation to set down sanitized retellings, recognize God's persistent attention to the foreigner and the unprotected, and let that same gaze reshape how they see migrants and strangers today.

Welcome to episode 249 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we will examine the topic of the God who sees the overlooked.  Key takeaways:   God does not wait for the worthy to come to Him. He pursues the fleeing. Hagar was running from something with no plan for where to go, and God ran toward her. Divine questions are rarely for God's information. “Where have you come from and where are you going?” was an invitation for Hagar to face her situation honestly and receive a way forward. God names the suffering before He names the promise. He acknowledged Hagar's affliction before He spoke of her future. He does not skip over pain to get to blessing. The name Ishmael means “God hears.” Every time Hagar spoke her son's name she rehearsed the testimony that her cry had been heard. God builds memorials of grace into ordinary life. The invisible suffering of the powerless is fully visible to God. What happens behind closed doors with no witnesses is not hidden from El Roi. He is keeping account. Hagar is the only person in all of Scripture to give God a name. This honor was not given to Abraham, Moses, or David — it was given to a foreign slave woman. God's deepest revelations often come to the least expected people. God's pattern throughout Scripture is consistent: He reveals Himself to shepherds, fishermen, a murderer, an adulteress, a teenager. In His kingdom, the last are precisely the ones He seeks first.  Quotable:   You're not too marginalized, too broken, or too insignificant for His attention. The same God who left heaven to find a runaway slave in the wilderness is the God who sees you completely — right now, exactly where you are.  Application:   If you are running from pain without a destination — recognize that God is not trying to drag you back to what hurt you. He pursues the fleeing not to condemn their escape but to redirect their steps. Bring Him your honest answer to the question He asked Hagar: Where are you going?  If you are suffering in silence — your unseen struggles are fully visible to God. Chronic pain no one asks about. Financial stress you hide. Grief you carry alone. Caregiving exhaustion you never talk about. El Roi is not indifferent to what no one else can see. He is witnessing every moment and keeping account.  If you feel marginalized — by age, economics, health, race, or social standing — you are precisely the kind of person God loves to encounter. Do not let your circumstances make you doubt your worth to Him. He does not reserve His presence for the powerful and prominent.  Build your own memorial — Hagar named the well Beer-lahai-roi so the encounter would not be forgotten. When God meets you in a wilderness moment, write it down. Name it. Return to it. Let it become the evidence you rehearse when the next hard season comes.  Connect with us:   Website:  https://springbaptist.org  Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)  Need us to pray for you?

Have you ever wondered if anyone truly sees what you're carrying? What if the God of heaven sees you more clearly than anyone in your life ever has?

One of the great promises of Scripture is that God sees us even when no one else does. Today's episode of “On Our Side” proves that we are never helpless or hopeless when “El Roi” (Hebrew: The God Who Sees) is watching out for us. -- GIVE: Visit www.connectcalgary.ca/give to help share #LifeOverflowing across Canada.

Room To Breathe pt. 2 | MAY 10, 2026Pastor Wes MorrisI Kings 19:1-9 (NIV) Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.”Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, while he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep.All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.” So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. There he went into a cave and spent the night.√ GOD MEETS US IN THE WILDERNESS, NOT JUST THE BREAKTHROUGH.I Kings 19:4-5 (NIV) “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep. All at once an angel touched him...√ GOD SEES WHAT NO ONE ELSE UNDERSTANDS.I Kings 19:6 (ESV) And he looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on hot stones and a jar of water. And he ate and drank and lay down again. √ GOD CARES ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN YOU, NOT JUST WHAT'S HAPPENING THROUGH YOU.I Kings 19:9-12 (NIV) He came to a cave and camped there, and the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “Why are you here, Elijah?”And he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord, Lord of Hosts, for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life.”He said, “Go and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind split the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake came, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, a fire came, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire, a still, small voice. THE GOD WHO SEESI. BE HONEST WITH GOD ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING INSIDE OF YOU.Psalm 62:8 (NLT) O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.Where we bring our honesty, God brings His healing.II. LET GOD CARE FOR YOU TOO.Matthew 11:28 (NIV) Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.III. TRUST THAT GOD IS STILL WORKING IN QUIET SEASONS.Isaiah 30:15 (TLB) For the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, says: Only in returning to me and waiting for me will you be saved; in quietness and confidence is your strength...

In this heartfelt Mother's Day message, guest speaker Gwen Kik shares the powerful story of Hagar—a woman who felt forgotten, rejected, and alone, yet was fully seen by God.
