Podcasts about god who sees

The God Who Sees – In our summer look at psalms, today we are considering Psalm 94, and we read it as a call-and-response reading with the congregation. In some ways it is a shocking psalm, crying out for God's judgment on the wicked, those who oppress God's people, but it is certainly appropriate for us to read for Justice Sunday. Carol begins her sermon by considering the separation of church and state, citing times in history when church support for a particular king or group was injurious, when people of faith want to be in power. But there have also been significant times when the church has held leaders accountable and have advocated for the oppressed. Throughout the Bible, beginning with the Ten Commandments, we are called on to care for the widow and the orphan. Jesus was the prime example, spending time with those who were outcasts. Psalm 94 cries out to God because the leaders of the people are unjust and there are many who are suffering. We are called to look at our society through the lens of God's heart. The writer of Psalm 94 turns toward God's justice. What might we do as a church together to forward God's desire for justice, love, and hope?

This week, Jess Ninaber continues our Names of God series with a message on El Roi—the God who sees. Through the story of Hagar, we are reminded that God sees us fully, even in our most painful and overlooked moments. He is not passive or distant but the God who actively pursues, provides, and restores. El Roi meets us in the wilderness, calls us by name, and dignifies us with His love. As we begin to see the way He sees, we are empowered to see others with the same compassion and to recognize what He is doing in our own wilderness seasons.

She was useful until she was not. She was a victim of abuse and mistreatment. She was an abandoned outsider of God's covenant people. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Kaleb Beyer and Matt Kaufmann linger on Hagar's story. At her most desperate moment, God loves her really well. So struck by the encounter, Hagar names God Elroi, the God who sees me.  Show notes:  In her desperation, God finds Hagar abandoned to the wilderness.  He calls her by name - “Hagar.”  Even though her name meant “stranger”, his use of it meant she was not a stranger to him. In fact, she was known, not by association, but on her own terms.  He asks her questions - “Where did you come from and where are you going?”  Even though he knew these answers already, he gets her talking. God is a God who listens.  He gives her a promise - “I will make a mighty nation out of your son.”  Even though Ishmael's lineage would rival Isaac's, he is a God of blessing. 

In a story full of brokenness, injustice, and pain, the encounter between Hagar and God in the wilderness reveals a profound truth: God hears and God sees. Though Hagar was mistreated, forgotten, and cast out, the LORD met her personally, named her child, and gave her hope. This same God still sees us in our wilderness moments and opens our eyes to His provision and presence.

This week Sue shares from Scripture and personal experience of being seen by God. God isn't only for the ‘all' but also for the ‘one'. He sees YOU! This message was given at Kāpiti Impact Church in Paraparaumu, NZ.

In this heartfelt message, we explore the story of Hagar in Genesis 16—a woman who felt cast aside, unseen, and forgotten. But in the wilderness, she encounters the God who sees.We're honored to share a powerful testimony from Callie, a member of our church family, whose story echoes Hagar's in profound ways. From a childhood marked by trauma and instability to multiple marriages, heartbreak, single motherhood, and ultimately a breast cancer diagnosis—Callie's journey is one of resilience, redemption, and the relentless love of God.Through it all, she found healing, forgiveness, and a deep understanding of El Roi, “the God who sees me.” Her story is not just about surviving—it's about transformation, surrender, and discovering purpose in the pain.Whether you're in a season of wandering, fear, or fighting your own battles, this message is for you. God sees you. He knows your story. And He's not done with you.

Genesis 16

The God Who Sees Us | Waiting on God's Promise What do you do when God gives a promise… but the waiting feels endless? In Genesis 16, Sarai takes control, Abram stays silent, and Hagar runs—but even in the chaos, God shows up. He is El Roi—the God who sees us. In this powerful sermon, Pastor Harrison unpacks the tension of waiting, the temptation to control outcomes, and the truth that God sees you in the middle of it all.

Machias Community Church The God Who Sees Me GENESIS 16:7-16 TIM HENLE, CHURCH FAMILY ELDER WHO ALSO PREACHES

In Genesis 16, the name by which God reveals himself is El-Roi, the God who sees me. This name of God's teaches us that the He is good, filled with compassion and pursues the outcast.

Genesis 15:1-21

As we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark, we've seen Jesus reveal His divine identity through jaw-dropping miracles—calming storms, forgiving sins, and feeding thousands with just a few loaves and fish. Yet, the disciples who witnessed these wonders firsthand still struggled to grasp who Jesus truly is. Sound familiar? It should. Mark has repeatedly shown us the theme of Jesus' identity and the people's inability to understand. This Sunday, we'll explore Mark 6:45-56, where Jesus sends His disciples into a stormy sea on their own while He prays on a mountain. They struggle against the wind and feel abandoned when something extraordinary happens. Jesus does what only God can do and comes to them walking on the sea. Jesus "passes by," revealing His name just as God did in the Old Testament before Moses. What Jesus does in this moment leaves the disciples astounded yet still confused. Verse 52 tells us they were astounded at Jesus' coming because "they did not understand about the loaves." They should have understood who Jesus is from the feeding of the 5000. How can Jesus' identity ground us when life's storms make us feel like we're rowing against an impossible current? Why does Mark repeatedly point us to who Jesus is? Join us as we explore how Jesus meets us in our struggles and why knowing Him as God in the flesh is the deepest truth we need, now and always. I. Jesus Is El Roi, The God Who Sees (v. 45-48a) II. Jesus Is Jehovah Sammah, The Lord Who Is There (v. 48b-52) III. Jesus Is Jehovah Rapha, The Lord Who Heals (v. 53-56)

In our study in Genesis, we're studying God's revelation of himself through his names. God is teaching us in the life of Abram and Sarai, that all salvation comes from God. In Genesis 16 we learn that God is a God of compassion. He sees two women in their suffering, Sarai and Hagar, and he has compassion on them.

This Sunday, Pastor Chris continued our summer series The Names of God with a message on El Roi — The God Who Sees Me. Teaching from Genesis 16:1–16, we explored the beauty and power of a God who sees us in our pain, meets us in our suffering, and responds with compassion and purpose.

In this episode we hear from Pastor Chris as we take another look in the book of Genesis as we learn about the God Who Sees.

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!
