EL ROI The God Who Sees Us Sister Katie Gilbert Mother's DayMay 11, 2025Voice Over By: Outlaw Peak Media Background Music Provided By: Pixabay
He is the God who sees the invisible loads in our life that the world cannot see: the despair and fears, the way you give Him everything, the grief you carry, the pain, the hidden hopes and dreams. And He cares for us.

This week, Diane Spencer brought such a beautiful message about motherhood and being seen by God. Through the examples of women in the scriptures, we were pointed to times where women who were otherwise unseen were valued and validated by God. Hagar, Hannah, and Mary show us that we are important to Him, and even when our circumstances are difficult, He cares. Whether it is a season of longing, loneliness, or despair, the Lord is with us and loves us right where we are.
In Genesis 16, Hagar discovers the God who sees her. Happy Mother's Day!
Genesis 16
In this message, Mich shares the story of Hagar—an overlooked, mistreated woman who has a powerful, personal encounter with the God who sees. Whether Mother's Day feels beautiful, brutal, or somewhere in between, this is a reminder that no matter where you find yourself, God sees you, knows you, and hasn't forgotten you.For up-to-date info, follow our socials: https://www.instagram.com/freedomchurchbenoni/https://www.facebook.com/FreedomChurchBenoniMore episodes on all podcast platforms and our YouTube channel:Follow the link below, or search "freedom church Benoni" on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, or YouTube Music! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomchurchbenoni/podcasts #freedomchurchbenoni #sundayfunday
Pastor Dave Larmourfalse00:35:52555Genesis: Hagar & the God Who Sees Usfull
A mother's role feels harder and less appreciated than ever. When you feel overlooked and undervalued, it's easy to wonder if anyone sees or cares. This message looks at a woman who felt invisible but in meeting the God who saw her found renewed courage for her calling.
Thank you for joining us as Pastor Jonathan Davies shares with us about The God Who Sees from Genesis 16.

McKnight Crossings Church former lead minister, Jeff Kryder, brings us a message as we begin a new sermon series. Beginning at the events surrounding Hagar's conception and birth of Ishmael, as told from Hagar's perspective. We listen as Jeff conveys the possible story of how Hagar, a slave and one of the "least of these," was seen as small and inconsequential and even a tool. Jeff encourages us to instead see how significant Hagar is, how important the marginalized people of our current society, and even ourselves, despite being one of the "small," are in the story of God and His story.

Welcome to another heartfelt episode of Faith with Friends, where we spend time looking into the spiritual dimension of being truly seen by God. In a world often confined to surface-level interactions and perfected social media images, host Lisa Lorenzo invites listeners to embrace the deep, comforting reality of El Roi—“The God Who Sees.” Through a rich exploration of biblical scriptures, including passages from Genesis, Psalms, and Matthew, Lisa paints a portrait of a loving, attentive God who knows us intimately and cares for us beyond measure.In this episode, key scriptures such as Genesis 16:13, Psalm 146:9, and 1 Samuel 16:7 illustrate God's profound understanding of our hearts and lives. Lisa emphasizes how El Roi is present with us in our deepest struggles and moments of isolation, offering solace and encouragement. By uncovering the meaning of God's all-seeing presence, listeners are encouraged to find comfort in their suffering, be transparent with God, and develop a compassionate vision for seeing others through God's eyes. This transformative theme urges a move from feeling unseen to recognizing and rejoicing in being fully known and deeply loved by God. Join us in this reflective journey as we discover the beauty of being seen by the Divine.Key Takeaways:God's all-seeing nature is exemplified by the Hebrew name El Roi, meaning "The God Who Sees," who is with us in our most isolated moments.Biblical passages indicate that God observes not just our actions but our hearts, offering divine comfort and care in times of trial.Embracing transparency with God allows us to drop our masks and stand authentically before Him, knowing He loves us despite our flaws.Developing a God-like vision helps us see and support others who feel invisible or undervalued in their personal or social lives.Understanding and accepting that we are fully known and loved by God provides immense freedom and peace.Notable Quotes:"El Roi, the God who sees, invites us to find comfort in being fully known and truly loved by our Creator.""God deliberately turns his attention towards us, not just observing but guarding, protecting, and preserving.""Search me, God, and know my heart. There is freedom in dropping the masks we wear for others.""Even when others fail to see you, there is one whose vision is perfect. El Roi sees you fully and loves what he sees.""The same God that sees our flaws also sees our potential, and the God that witnesses all of our weaknesses also witnesses our worth."
This week, as we move into Week 4, we will be looking at passages from Mark 14:27-31 and Luke 22:54-62 where Jesus predicts Peter's denial followed by the playing out of that very denial. Together we discuss the importance of knowing who Jesus is. As we understand who Jesus is, within this passage and beyond, we come to realize the depth of Jesus' love for us even in the midst of our moments of betrayal.
Pastor Greg encourages us that God always sees us, knows our situation, and we can trust Him with everything.

Genesis 16 depicts Abram and Sarai attempting to accomplish God's promise by themselves. Through this sin, Ishmael is conceived. Regardless of man's poor choices, the Lord's promise is good and he remains faithful. We hope this sermon blesses you in the Lord. Originally March 16th, 2025. Hank Atchison. Covenant Church. Tuscaloosa, AL.

Andrew underscores Moses' reliance on God amid challenges and reflects on the Israelites' struggles with doubt and disobedience. Through these themes, he draws lessons on redemption, community, and trusting God's guidance in difficult times.

Hey friend! It is Linda driving this one today! And most of us know Jehovah Jireh as "The Lord Who Provides"—but what if we've been missing something even deeper? In this episode, I sit down with Shelly Griffin, a Biblical scholar and dear friend whose understanding of God's names will challenge everything you thought you knew about faith, surrender, and divine provision. We dive deep into: The hidden meaning of "Jehovah Jireh" that changes how we see God's provision. Why God doesn't just see—He sees TO IT. The gut-wrenching story of Abraham and Isaac and why it makes no sense… until it does. How God's timing is never random—He provides in the exact moment we need Him. The personal struggles, modern-day tests of faith, and why surrender is the key to experiencing God's presence. If you've ever wondered: "Why would God ask me to give something up—especially something He gave me? Why does obedience feel so costly sometimes?" "How can I know if God will REALLY provide?" This episode will give you answers—and maybe even wreck you (in the best way).

One of the most overlooked and often misunderstood women of Genesis is the slave woman Hagar. She is used and abused, tossed out and forsaken. But not by God. In her lowest moments God saw her and knew her name. He called her and gave her a promise and a purpose. And for all of this, she named Yahweh, "El Roi," which means "the God who sees me." When you are down and defeated, God sees you too. He knows your name. He has a promise and a purpose for you.
