Episode 2.39From Adam naming the animals to Christ bearing the name above every name, Scripture treats names with reverence, authority, and purpose. In this episode of Take 2 Theology, Zach and Michael trace the biblical theme of naming—from dominion in Eden to identity in Revelation.Covered in this episode:– Adam's authority in naming creation– God naming children and defining destinies– The divine self-naming at the burning bush– Hagar and the testimony of El Roi– Demons trying to control Jesus by name– Jesus naming and renaming His followers– The mysterious name in Revelation– Our adoption and being named as children of GodA name in Scripture is never just a label. It's identity. It's mission. It's ownership. And in Christ, it's destiny.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/Ps9MsNsqQLkMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

The Wilderness E3 — In the Bible, the wilderness is a hostile, dangerous place where humans can't survive. Because of this, the wilderness also reminds us that we all live on the precipice of life and death, and our survival depends on the one who is greater than us. The Bible's earliest wilderness stories depict humans finding themselves in this setting due to their own foolish choices or the foolish choices of others. In this episode, Jon and Tim look at the wilderness stories of Adam and Eve, Hagar, and Moses, highlighting how God responds with surprising compassion.CHAPTERSRecap and Setup for Today's Stories (0:00-11:36)Adam and Eve Exiled Into the Wilderness (11:36-20:31)Hagar Flees From Abraham and Sarah Into the Wilderness (20:31-45:13)Moses Flees From Pharaoh Into the Wilderness (45:13-1:08:15)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESTim references an episode from The Exodus Way series about Abraham and Hagar.

Abraham's story shows how God builds a nation through faith, not shortcuts. Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian continue their study of Genesis, tracing the tension between Sarah's quick fix with Hagar and God's covenant promise, revealing how Abraham's failures paved the way for his legendary faith. The guys connect Babel's downfall, Sarah's ambiguous laughter, and Abraham's silence to the birth of Israel, highlighting why trust in God always outlasts our schemes.

WBS: The Hills Are Alive. #325 -- The gang is at it again. Brimstone is joined by his wing-man Alex DaPonte and Brim's wife Danielle as they chat about the recent visit to see Brim's pals DMC and Kel Mitchell for Kel's Burger Fest in Brooklyn, a man allegedly possessed during the new Conjuring screening, the David Lee Roth and Henry Rollins story, and non-beer drinker tastings of Brim's new Burnt Offerings beer. They discuss the Florida Police Captain who coined the phrase ‘Rolex arm', the crab sticks you eat have no crab in them, and Alex's moth friend. They ask Van Halen or Van Hagar, and a Chilean Sea Bass factoid. Brim explains what gets Within Brim's Skin.

In The Witch of Endor (1 Samuel 28:3–25), Pastor Qadry reframes the so-called “witch” as a priestess and healer carrying African wisdom in the tradition of Hagar. The sermon critiques how Saul outlawed mediums yet turned to Endor's power when desperate, exposing empire's hypocrisy. Rooted in the principles of Maat, the message charges the church to love God by honoring Africa, guard the spirit with holy boundaries, and channel ancestral faith for communal good.

Part five of The Sisters of Hagar—“The Brothers & Sisters of Hagar”—reads Leviticus 24 through Acts 7:22 to expose boundary-keeping that denies Nile-Valley roots. Pastor Qadry charges the Black Church to reject colonized preaching, reclaim Ma'atic balance, and let anti-African forms die so a resurrected, Africa-rooted, Christ-charged community can rise. Anchored by ancestral veneration and the Asar-to-Christ arc.

In The Sun Rose, So Must We (Genesis 41:45, 50–52, 57), Pastor Qadry reclaims Aseneth, Joseph's Egyptian wife, as a priestess of Anu and bearer of African cosmic wisdom. While patriarchal traditions reduce her to wife and mother, African memory restores her priesthood and balance. The sermon calls the church to rise together by embracing harmony between African women and men, rejecting white patriarchy, and embodying resurrection as God's cosmic design.

In this sermon, The First Word Still Speaks, Pastor Qadry critiques Paul's allegory in Galatians 4 and reclaims Hagar as an African mother of nations shaped by the wisdom of Maat. Exposing how scripture and churches have disinherited African identity, the message calls believers to remember who they were before renaming, affirm that the first word still speaks, and embrace freedom as God's will—not man's gift.

Pastor Qadry opens the Sisters of Hagar series with Genesis 21, showing how God's justice hears children's cries and calls the church to nurture, provide, and empower.

Egil Lund Svartdahl avslutter serien «Røtter, rytme og retning» med fokus på kursen i livet. Vi overvurderer øyeblikk – og undervurderer retning. Han stiller tre enkle spørsmål: Hvem vil jeg følge? Hvilken vei vil jeg gå? Hva er målet? Hagar og Emmaus viser en Gud som finner oss, vender oss om og kaller: «Følg meg.» Å følge Jesus er ikke en merkelapp, men en retning – han er selve veien. Målet er ikke bare «himmel» som sted, men å være der Jesus er. Dagens invitasjon: kalibrer kompasset, velg veien mot Jesus, og la kjærligheten til ham forme stegene videre.

Have you ever felt unseen, overlooked, or forgotten? Whether it’s being passed over for a promotion, ignored by a loved one, or simply feeling insignificant in a crowded world, invisibility can wound deeply. But God reminds us through His Word that He sees us completely and intimately. Just as Hagar declared in Genesis 16:13: “You are the God who sees me,” we too can take comfort knowing our Creator never overlooks us. He formed us with intention, wrote every one of our days before we lived them, and keeps us always in His sight. If you’re wrestling with feelings of being invisible, this prayer will guide you back to the truth that you are known, loved, and chosen by the God who sees all. Main Takeaways Everyone feels invisible at some point, but God’s Word assures us we are always seen by Him. Psalm 139:13-18 reminds us we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” and deeply known. When others overlook us, God still chooses us and values us beyond measure. Leaning on Scripture equips us with truth to battle discouragement and feelings of insignificance. Bible Verse References Genesis 16:13 – “You are the God who sees me.” Psalm 139:13-18 – A reminder of God’s intimate knowledge and design of our lives. Isaiah 49:15 – God promises He will never forget us. Calls to Action (CTAs) Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer to receive daily encouragement rooted in God’s Word.

Send us a textGalatians 4Before Jesus, the Galatians were like children under guardians, enslaved to the world's principles. But when the time was right, God sent His Son to redeem them so they could be adopted as His children. Because they are His children, He has given them the Spirit, allowing them to call Him “Abba, Father.” Paul warns them not to return to bondage under the Law, reminding them of their initial joy in the gospel. He expresses deep concern for them, longing for Christ to be fully formed in them. Using the story of Sarah and Hagar, Paul illustrates the difference between living under God's promise versus slavery to the Law. He urges them to embrace their identity as children of the free woman and to live in the freedom of Christ. We are deeply indebted to God for all He has done to redeem us from our sins. He sent Jesus through a woman, born under the Law, to redeem mankind from the burden of justification through law-keeping. He poured the Spirit of His Son into our hearts to help us call out to our Father. The grace of God frees us, adopted and cherished as His children. It would be foolish to forsake liberty in our Savior for the bondage of life without Him. This occurs when we act in pride by trying to justify our claim to be with God through our adherence to any law separate from Christ. The result is bondage. We must choose freedom under Christ's covenant.   Faithful God, thank You for adopting us as Your children through Christ. Help us to live in the freedom You have given us and not return to anything that enslaves us, especially our pride and self-justification. Fill our hearts with Your Spirit so that we may know You as our loving Father. Guard us from anything that pulls us away from the truth of the gospel. Strengthen our faith, and let Christ be fully formed in us. Teach us to embrace our identity as heirs of Your promise and to walk in the joy and freedom of Your grace. Thought Questions: -       Are you living joyously in freedom as God's child, or do you get distraught by your own imperfect law-keeping? Are you a saved child of God? -       Sadly, false religious teachers turned some Christians against Paul. Why does this still happen today, and how do we avoid such sinfulness? -       You live under the new law of freedom in Jesus Christ. What does that mean to you, and how does it motivate you to obey Him with gratitude?

Text: Genesis 16   The Faithless Acts of Abram and Sarai (Gen. 16:1-6) They questioned God's ability to fulfill His promises. They chose to circumvent God's plan by acting in unbelief. Their faithless acts led to family chaos and generational conflict.   The Faithful Presence of the God Who Sees (Gen. 16:7-16) The pre-incarnate Christ sees Hagar in her affliction. The pre-incarnate Christ brings comfort and blessing to Hagar. Christ sees us, knows our need, and can satisfy our hearts (John 4).

In this week's episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I continue my two series: Difficult Issues Caregivers Face but Don't Want to Talk About and Hymns Every Caregiver Should Know. I start with a memory of a pastor who once told me, “Peter, you do yourself a disservice—you make this look easier than it is.” He was right. For years I made caregiving look manageable, even while quietly drowning inside. That appearance of strength often kept others from stepping in or even knowing what to say. Meals and casseroles are thoughtful, but they're not enough. Caregivers need more than temporary relief—we need sustainable support. Vocational direction, financial guidance, and mentors willing to walk with us can make the difference between barely surviving and building a life that endures. Scripture reminds us of El Roi, the God who sees. Just as He saw Hagar, Zacchaeus, and the multitudes, He also sees caregivers who mask their exhaustion. And if God sees, the church must learn to see too—not just the obvious needs, but the hidden cracks in a caregiver's life. I share about Gracie's 98 surgeries, including a recent five-month stretch in the hospital, and how impossible it has been to plan a “normal” career or even a five-week calendar. Caregiving has reshaped everything in my life, and for too long I didn't have people asking the deeper questions about what was sustainable. Then I take you to the Caregiver Keyboard, where I introduce this week's hymn. I not only play it, but also show how its harmonies—tension, dissonance, and resolution—mirror the emotional weight caregivers carry. The story behind the hymn ties directly into this theme: before we can encourage or rescue anyone, we first have to see them. I close by sharing from my new book, A Caregiver's Companion: Scriptures, Hymns, and 40 Years of Insights for Life's Toughest Role. I wrote it to give caregivers—and the church—a vocabulary of hope. Because healthy caregivers make better caregivers.   Get this book today!    

Walking with God isn't _________________.[Genesis 16:5-6] Then Sarai said to Abram, "This is all your fault! I put my servant into your arms, but now that she's pregnant she treats me with contempt. The LORD will show who's wrong--you or me!" [6] Abram replied, "Look, she is your servant, so deal with her as you see fit." Then Sarai treated Hagar so harshly that she finally ran away.God _________________ finds us.[Psalm 34:17-19] The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. [18] The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.

"I'm running away from my mistress, Sarai," she replied.God sees you for who you will _________________.[Genesis 16:11, 13] And the angel also said, "You are now pregnant and will give birth to a son. You are to name him Ishmael (which means 'God hears'), for the LORD has heard your cry of distress. [13] Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the LORD, who had spoken to her. She said, "You are the God who sees me." She also said, "Have I truly seen the One who sees me?"We serve a God who _________________ us.[Genesis 21:14-16] So Abraham got up early the next morning, prepared food and a container of water, and strapped them on Hagar's shoulders.

[16] Then she went and sat down by herself about a hundred yards away. "I don't want to watch the boy die," she said, as she burst into tears.[Genesis 21:17] But God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, "Hagar, what's wrong? Do not be afraid! God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.The same God who ______________ her before ______________ them now.[Genesis 21:19] Then God opened Hagar's eyes, and she saw a well full of water. She quickly filled her water container and gave the boy a drink.Your provision may be _________________ than you think.[Psalm 139:7] I can never escape from your Spirit!

Can you be a Christian without the church? In this timely episode, Dr. Carmen Imes argues forcefully—and pastorally—that Christianity without community is a contradiction. Drawing from her new book Becoming God's Family, she and Dru Johnson explore why so many people are walking away from church and what it would take to draw them back. From church hurt to spiritual abuse to toxic celebrity culture, Carmen doesn't shy away from the reasons people leave. But she also offers theological and pastoral wisdom on why we can't give up on the church. They explore biblical stories of failed community, why Hagar's story matters, and what healthy faithfulness looks like in a flawed body. They also discuss when it's time to leave a church, how American and global cultures can distort biblical community, and why true belonging means discomfort, difference, and even lament. Drawing on stories from her life and ministry, Carmen makes the case that church isn't about getting what we want—it's about becoming who we're meant to be.

In this devotional, Hannah Benson reminds us of a timeless truth: God sees you. Even when prayers seem unanswered, and our hearts feel weary, the Lord’s eyes are always on us. Through personal testimony and Scripture, Hannah shares how God gently reminded her of His presence in a moment of deep discouragement. Just as He revealed Himself to Hagar in the wilderness and heard Hannah’s cries in the temple, God is attentive to your life, your struggles, and your desires. Highlights God Sees You: Encouragement from Genesis 16:13 and the story of Hagar’s encounter with “El Roi.” When Prayers Feel Unanswered: Why God’s timing and responses—whether yes, no, or not yet—can still be trusted. Hannah’s Story: Biblical assurance that God hears and knows the desires of your heart. The Power of Obedience: How a simple note from a friend became a divine reminder of God’s care. Practical Encouragement: Be willing to follow the Spirit’s prompting—your act of obedience could be someone else’s answered prayer.

There's this disease that hits college campuses in the spring every year. It's called "senior panic." You arrive at college as a freshman with this sneaking suspicion that you might just meet the person you're going to marry while you're there. And as you go through college, that suspicion becomes an expectation. Now, my wife and I met when we went to college, where we began our education. And D. L. Moody, the man who founded our school, the great evangelist, well, he was a shoe salesman. In fact, they used to say that Moody was a shoe factory where they would take in old heels, and repair their souls, and send them out in pairs. So, you wanted to come out of there with a mate if at all possible. Right? You started with that suspicion that you might find somebody, and then it became an expectation, and then maybe in your junior year it became a determination, "I've got to find somebody here! I might not have anybody." And then you hit your senior year; there's no husband or wife in sight - senior panic! Quick, do something! I'm going to miss it if I don't do something fast! Who says panic is only a senior problem? I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Problem With Panic." Now, our word for today from the Word of God comes from Acts 27. I'll begin reading at verse 30. The Apostle Paul has been for two weeks in the middle of a terrible storm at sea, as he's being carried by a Roman ship to meet with Caesar in Rome. And as they begin to go aground, some of the crew starts to have, not senior panic, but sailor panic. Here's what they decide to do, listen: "In an attempt to escape from the ship, the sailors let the lifeboat down into the sea pretending they were going to lower some anchors from the bow. Then Paul said to the Centurion and the soldiers, 'Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.' So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and they let it fall away." Okay, some background: The Apostle Paul had gotten assurance from the Lord, in the middle of the storm, that though the ship would go aground, the people would be saved. In fact earlier in the chapter, here's the message he conveys, "Do not be afraid. God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you, so keep up your courage, men. I have faith in God that it will happen just as He told me." Well, their panic was understandable; the ship's coming apart. Looks like God's not going to deliver them in time. They panic! They scramble for a quick answer. Have you ever done that? See, if they do this, they're not going to make it. If you do, you won't make it. How many times do we look at our storm, we see the ship going down, financially, romantically, emotionally, and we panic. We go for a lifeboat instead of waiting for God's answer, God's provision. Abraham did it with Hagar and he created a problem for centuries with the two sons of promise, because he and Sarah could not wait for God to fulfill His promise. Rebecca did it with her son, Jacob, when she lied about him to try to get the blessing for him and all she ended up with was a family split apart. You and I do it when we settle for these patchwork solutions. Because of panic, many of God's kids have ended up with a lot of heartache, in the wrong job, the wrong relationships, the wrong marriage, a mountain of debt. The greatest enemy of God's best may be impatience. We can't wait for God to do as Paul said, "All that God said that He would do." Those seniors who panic over singleness often get the wrong person. In their rush, they often make a life-long mistake. When they think time's running out, God is right on schedule. Remember, if you panic, you can make a life-long mistake.

In this second message of our new series, "What's in a Name?", Associate Pastor Ezemdi Chikwendu shares how God reveals Himself as El Roi (the God who sees) and El Shaddai (God Almighty) through His faithful care for both the prominent and marginalized figures in Scripture. We hear that He intimately knows and provides for all His children. Through the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar, we see how God's covenant promises extend across generations, ultimately pointing to Jesus Christ and including all who put their faith in Him. Just as Pastor Ezemdi experienced God's sovereign guidance and provision in his own journey, God invites each of us today to trust Him as our Lord, knowing that He sees us, understands our struggles, and stands ready to show Himself mighty on our behalf.

Karrie is back with a new season of The Honest Pod and she reflects on how much the podcast has been an integral part of the greater mission of Freedom Movement. Karrie leads Freedom Movement organization and its mission to create safe places that foster healing, hope, and the courage to love who God created you to be. Karrie started the nonprofit in 2014 with the understanding that every single one of us is broken and has wounds, many of which are not often addressed within traditional church environments. She saw firsthand that God's true redemptive purpose for our lives does not begin once we're free from pain, rather it stems directly out of that pain.This season of the Honest Pod will have an emphasis on moving from the places that are shattered or stuck in your story to restoration. Some questions that will be reflected on in the upcoming episodes: -What do we do with the pain in our stories? -Why are we still stuck?  -What areas of my story do I still need to dive into? -How do we move forward from those places? Karrie begins with the story of Hagar and the pain surrounding Hagar's story. God meets Hagar in her darkest moment and asks her two deeply honest questions. God reveals to us healing begins with honesty and curiosity. By answering those questions, Hagar can step into who God created her to be. Karrie's work within Freedom Movement helps connect people to their stories and reach into difficult questions. God is always at the center of story work.

In this sacred and deeply personal follow-up to last week's episode, I share the story of Hagar—a woman in Scripture who walked through the wilderness not once, but twice. Discarded, unseen, and weary, she was met by the God who called her by name. And she became the first person in the Bible to give God a name in return: El Roi (pronounced El Roh-EE)—The God Who Sees Me.If you're in a season of feeling forgotten, this episode will remind you: God sees you. He hears you. And He has not abandoned you.✨ In this episode, I share:How Hagar's story in Genesis 16 and 21 mirrors our modern-day wilderness seasonsWhy being stripped of status and striving is often where true faith beginsWhat it means to be seen, sustained, and sent—even when you feel invisibleA reminder that provision may already be near—you just need God to open your eyes to see it

Come along as we continue our deep dive through Genesis! We dig up a few nuggets and as always try to use that biblical context to take the most from God's word!

Thursday with Tabitha 9. Obadiah by Tabitha Smith This week we've reached the little book of Obadiah. He was the most minor of the minor prophets, in that his book is the shortest! In fact, it's the shortest book in the whole of the Old Testament with just one chapter, containing 21 verses. ~ Obadiah means “one who serves Yahweh”. We're not told anything else about the prophet himself. In the course of the prophecy, the fall of Jerusalem (which happened in 586 BC) is referred to as a past event and the fall of Edom (which happened in 553 BC) as a future event. So it is likely that the book was written between these events. ~ To understand the background to Obadiah, we need to head back to Genesis, to the account of the brothers Jacob and Esau. These two non-identical twins were born to Isaac and Rebekah. Even from their birth, they showed signs of not exactly getting along. Esau was born first, all red and hairy, and Jacob followed after him, grasping his heel. They grew up to be very different. Esau was a skilled hunter, favoured by his father, whilst Joseph was an introverted man who preferred to stay with his mother in the proximity of the family tents. ~ Jacob famously tricked the hungry Esau out of his birth rite and later stole his father's blessing by disguising himself as his older brother and fooling the elderly, blind Isaac. So Esau swore revenge on his brother and fully intended to kill him. Rebekah helped Jacob to escape and he fled to the territory of his uncle Laban. There he met and married his wives, Leah and Rachel. Esau, who was also called Edom, married several wives, including an Ishmaelite woman (that is, a descendent of Abraham's first son by the slave girl Hagar). ~ Jacob and Esau did meet again some years later, and much to Jacob's relief and surprise, Esau didn't kill him on the spot but appeared to have forgiven him. Jacob still didn't trust him though, and he took his family off in a different direction to avoid having to be in close proximity to his brother's family. Jacob had 12 sons by his two wives and their two servants. His 4th son, one of Leah's children, was Judah, and from his line the tribe of Judah came into existence. From Esau's line came the tribe of the Edomites. The Edomites lived in the hill country of Seir. This was a mountainous region about 1500m above sea level. Their territory appeared to be impenetrable and they felt quite safe in their high dwellings. In Numbers 20 we read that after the Exodus from Egypt, the Israelites asked the Edomites for permission to pass through their territory along the King's Highway. The Edomites refused, adding to the tensions between these two tribes. However, in Deuteronomy 23:7-8, God commanded the Israelites that they should not hate an Edomite in view of the brotherly connection between the two tribes. ~ Edom was defeated by king Saul in the 11th century BC and subdued again by king David 40 years later. Edom became a vassal state of Israel but it was never completely de-stroyed. ~ Fast forward to the time of Obadiah, and we find that the tribe of Judah, the sole remnant of the original 12 tribes of Israel, had been conquered and the capital city of Jerusalem had fallen to the Babylonians. During the conquest of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, some of the Judeans had tried to escape from the city and flee into the surrounding coun-tryside. The Edomites, rather than helping their neighbours and brothers in the time of their distress, sided with the foreign invaders and handed over the fleeing Israelites to the Babylonians. Psalm 137:7 recalls how the Edomites gloated over the destruction of Jeru-salem: Remember, O LORD, against the Edomites the day of Jerusalem, how they said, “Lay it bare, lay it bare, down to its foundations!” ~ The main theme of Obadiah is the judgement of the Edomites for the way they betrayed the people of Judah during the Babylonian invasion. ~ The first 15 verses of the book are addressed to the people of Edom. God scorns the pride and arrogance of the Edomites, who say to themselves, “who will bring me down to the ground?” (v3), referring to their perceived safety in their high mountain region. But God will bring them down and they will be punished for their evil deeds. The prophet mixes both past tense and future tense verbs when describing Edom's fate. This is a technique that can be found in prophetic writing, when future events are sometimes described as if they had already happened. ~ God's message through Obadiah is that Edom will be completely destroyed, with not a trace left behind. The main charges against Edom are found in verses 12-14: "But do not gloat over the day of your brother in the day of his misfortune; do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their ruin; do not boast in the day of distress. Do not enter the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; do not gloat over his disaster in the day of his calamity; do not loot his wealth in the day of his calamity. Do not stand at the crossroads to cut off his fugitives; do not hand over his survivors in the day of distress." ~ The judgement is summarised in verse 15: "As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head." ~ The final part of the book relates to the people of Jerusalem. God promises that he will preserve a remnant of his people who will survive the exile and reclaim the land that is theirs, according to his plans and promise. To the devastated people of Judah, this would have been an incredible promise of hope. It seemed, to all intents and purposes, that their future was doomed and that God's promises to Abraham had come to nothing. But God promises that Judah will become like a raging fire once more, whilst Edom is reduced to stubble. Judah's time of judgement for her own sin would be over, and then God would judge her enemies. The final words of the book, in verse 21, declare that “the kingdom shall be the Lord's.” The promised land of the Old Testament foretells the reality of the greater promised land, which is the coming kingdom of God. Matthew's gospel in particular speaks of this prom-ised kingdom, which Jesus ushered in during his time on earth. The whole of the Bible is the story of this ultimate kingdom, reaching its climax in the book of Revelation. The king-dom of God is already here, but it is not yet fully here. That won't happen until Jesus re-turns. In chapter 11 of the book of Hebrews, the writer recounts the names of the men and women of the Old Testament who trusted in God's promises to them regarding the coming kingdom. He then writes in verse 13-16: “These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.” ~ This city is the new Jerusalem, the heavenly kingdom. Jesus used several metaphors to try to help his listeners grasp the nature of the kingdom of God. He described it as a tiny mustard seed which grew into a huge tree, or as a tiny amount of yeast which could make a whole batch of dough rise. From tiny, seemingly in-consequential beginnings, something great grows. When all seemed lost to the exiled people of Judah, God says “just wait and see what I will do”. And the glory of the final kingdom is made all the greater by the trial of the journey. ~ You and I are invited to be part of this coming kingdom of God. No matter how small and insignificant we might feel in the great plan of God, and no matter how dire our circumstances seem to be, we can be assured that God's kingdom is coming and we can be part of it. It is surprising and mysterious, hidden and yet revealed, wonderful and awesome. It is something new, something different, something glorious. It is possible for the wisest brains to miss it completely whilst little children understand and embrace it. ~ God is doing a new thing and he invites us to come and see. The prophet Isaiah recorded God's words to his exiled people: “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:18-19) ~ Some 700 years after Isaiah, Jesus walked the streets of Jerusalem and declared: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6) ~ Even the seemingly obscure prophecy of Obadiah is part of Jesus' great story. It's all about him. Between the lines of prophecy about Edom and Judah we see the greater picture of God's redemption plan and his justice, mercy and grace. When the risen Jesus walked on the road to Emmaus and explained to the amazed disciples how the Law and all the prophets spoke about himself, I like to think that he said a bit about Obadiah. ~ We've got four more books to look at before this series draws to a close, and there are lots more interesting things to come as we look at Haggai, Zechariah, Joel and Malachi.

Paul turns to the story of Sarah and Hagar to illustrate the difference between life under the law and life under the promise. Those who belong to Christ are not children of the slave woman, but of the free. His message is simple and urgent: stand firm, and do not return to the yoke of slavery. In Christ, outward rituals mean nothing. What counts is faith working through love.  The Rev. Robert Hiller, pastor of Community Lutheran Church in Escondido, CA, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Galatians 4:21–5:12.  To learn more about Community Lutheran Church, visit www.clcfamily.org. There's urgency in Paul's voice. No warm greetings. No slow build. Just a sharp rebuke: “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you.” The stakes are that high.   Galatians is Paul's bold stand for the pure Gospel message: Christ crucified and risen, apart from works of the law. When freedom in Christ is threatened by legalism or confused with license, Paul doesn't hold back. He calls the Church back to the cross, to the promise, and to the Spirit. In this series on Thy Strong Word, we walk verse by verse through one of the most foundational and explosive letters in the New Testament. The message is clear: You are justified by faith, not by what you do.  

In Genesis 16, Sarai's impatience leads her to give Hagar to Abram, but it is Hagar's encounter with God in the wilderness that reveals a profound truth: God sees us—even in our pain, confusion, and uncertainty. Alone and fleeing, Hagar hears God call her by name, offering comfort and a promise that her story matters and that she will be cared for.Following this, in Genesis 17, God renews His covenant with Abram, changing his name to Abraham and calling him into a new identity marked by promise and faithfulness.This message explores the deep human need to be seen and known by God—not just as a distant promise but as a personal, intimate reality. It invites us to recognize that no matter where we find ourselves—waiting, doubting, or struggling—God's gaze meets us with love and purpose.For anyone feeling overlooked or forgotten, this sermon offers the hope that God sees every part of our journey and calls us into an unshakable covenant of grace and identity.Key Verses:Genesis 16:13 Genesis 17:1 Genesis 17:5

As we wrap up chapter 4 today, Paul is going to use another story from the OT to prove his point about how we are brought into our relationship with God. Paul goes all the way back to Genesis again and retells the story of Hagar, Sarah, and the birth of each of their sons. It will be thorough this story from the OT that Paul will use to help the Galatian believers see that they need to reject legalism and cling to grace.

Sometimes we chase a promise so hard, we end up building something God never asked for. In this episode, the guys dive into the tension between trusting God's timing and taking matters into our own hands. Using the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar as a reference point, they explore what it means to accidentally “birth an Ishmael”—a version of purpose that we have to sustain ourselves—when God is calling us to wait for His “Isaac.”It's a conversation about patience, obedience, and surrender—especially for anyone navigating calling, relationships, or big life decisions. If you've ever been tempted to rush the process, this episode will challenge you to pause, seek clarity, and trust that what's truly from God won't need to be forced.--Connect with:Pastor Sammy https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Pastor Jeff Osborne https://www.instagram.com/jefftosborne/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Get Aaron Levy's book, JOHN: 21 Daily Drips of Dialogue: https://a.co/d/7lGB90i--Have a question?

Come along as we continue our deep dive through Genesis! We dig up a few nuggets and as always try to use that Biblical context to take the most from Gods Word!

Genesis 21 shows God's sovereign grace turning conflicts into peace and reconciliation through faith, compassion, and peacemaking, as seen in Isaac's birth, Hagar and Ishmael's rescue, and Abraham's covenant with Abimelech, pointing to the New Covenant where Jesus' sacrifice reconciles us to God.

Season 4, Episode 12 | Chad and Matt Neeley discuss the importance of understanding our identity in Christ through the lens of Galatians 4. They explore how Paul uses the story of Hagar and Sarah as an allegory to contrast slavery under the law with freedom in Christ. Together, they reflect on what it means to live as children of promise—resting in the grace of God rather than trying to earn righteousness through works.

In this message from our Summer Tour series, Ren Richardson tackles one of the Bible's most difficult questions: How can a just God bring such devastating judgment? Through the story of Hagar, the widow's offering, and God's heart for the vulnerable, we discover that His justice flows from His deep love and grace. Join us as we explore how the God who sees everything also defends those no one else sees.

Intro:Good morning! We're navigating a tough week, having just hosted a funeral for Drew Hall, deeply loved in our community, who passed away in a climbing accident. Our hearts are with his wife and daughters. Next week, our Exeter church family, who we just prayed off, joins us for baptisms – this is the life of the church: joy and sorrow, but Jesus is always with us. Today, we delve into listening, a profound theme from Proverbs.Scripture References: Proverbs 2:1-5, Proverbs 5:1-2, Proverbs 22:17, Proverbs 13:1, Proverbs 15:31-32, Proverbs 4:20, Proverbs 5:1, Genesis 1, Psalm 33:6, Deuteronomy 6, Genesis 21:17, Proverbs 15:29, Luke 24:25-32Key Points:God Is Always Speaking, Calling Us to Listen:Proverbs emphasizes God's constant communication, urging us to be attentive listeners.The Seattle School of Theology's daily "chime" ritual reminds students their work is done in the presence of a living, speaking God.Listening for Wisdom and Instruction:Proverbs consistently calls us to listen for knowledge and understanding (Proverbs 2:1-5, 5:1-2, 22:17).It also stresses receiving instruction and discipline (Proverbs 13:1, 15:31-32). Embracing God's loving discipline transforms us.Proverbs' urgent tone (e.g., Proverbs 4:20, 5:1) highlights the gravity of listening to God's words. It's the single most important thing we can learn.Listening in God's Grand Story:Creation: From Genesis 1 ("Let there be light"), God speaks first. Our design is to listen and respond. Keith Anderson notes God's voice in creation is the first evidence of His love. Intentional listening means emptying our agenda, being curious, and present. Grab a "Five Ways to Practice Listening" card at the connect table!Old Testament (Shema): Deuteronomy 6 commands, "Listen, O Israel... love the Lord your God." Listening precedes loving. God's listening (e.g., Hagar and Ishmael in Genesis 21:17) isn't for His knowing, but to express His love, care, and that we are known (Proverbs 15:29). What He hears is never a barrier to His love.Jesus' Incarnation: Jesus often said, "Let anyone who has ears hear." The Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:25-32) shows disciples, disillusioned by Christ's crucifixion, unknowingly walking with Jesus. As He spoke, their hearts "burned." Encountering Jesus opens our ears and hearts to God's voice. Proximity to Jesus happens in simple, earthy ways (walking, sharing a meal, being with companions).The Problem is Connection, Not God's Speaking:Like the story of Pete Gregg unknowingly broadcasting his podcast, God is always speaking. The problem is often our connection.Busyness, disappointment, a cold heart, or distance from Jesus can hinder our listening. Our job is to approach God with intentionality, love, and closeness to Jesus.Conclusion:Our ability to listen to God is foundational. From creation to Jesus, God's story shows He actively speaks and listens out of love. This security allows us to confidently listen to Him.Call to Action:As we come to the table, remember Christ's presence bridges all distance. If your heart feels cold, or you need to know God hears you, pray with us. We'll worship and take communion, remembering Jesus, who perfectly embodied listening and drew close to us, offering new life. Be responsive to prayer; we want to connect you to Jesus.
