Genesis 16 | The God Who Sees - Sarai and Abram forget - but Hagar learns - that God is the One who sees and cares for those who trust in Him. Message by Anthony Webb, Pastor Ariah Park Baptist Church

TODAY'S TREASUREAnd the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. And she went, and she sat down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot; for she said, “Let me not see the death of the child”, and she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.Genesis 21:15-16 KJVSend us a comment!Support the show

Biblická úvaha: Dámy v nesnázích (8/20): Hagar aneb Kdo uteče. Autor, čte: Petr Plaňanský.

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.” Genesis 16:13 Have you ever felt invisible, as if your struggles and dreams went unnoticed? In those moments of doubt and despair, remember this powerful truth: "Every tear you shed is caught in the hands of a God who knows your story intimately. You are not just seen; you are understood, loved, and woven into a greater tapestry of purpose." This profound sentiment reminds us that we have a divine observer who values our journey. In Genesis 16:13, after Hagar encounters God's presence and receives direction from an angel to return to Abram and Sarai, Hagar refers to the Lord as "El Roi," signifying “You are the God who sees me.” Through this experience, she realizes that God is aware of her suffering and looks after her. This beautiful moment illustrates that even when we feel isolated, God is right beside us, ready to offer comfort and guidance. Our worth does not diminish because of our circumstances; rather, it shines through them. Job 34:21 says, "For God's eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step." As we navigate life's challenges, let's hold onto the truth that "God's gaze is a reminder that we are never invisible." Each time we feel overlooked or undervalued, we can remind ourselves that God knows every detail of our lives. He sees our struggles and celebrates our victories, no matter how small they may seem. Recognizing this divine awareness transforms our perspective on our worth and helps us embrace our unique journey. “Like stars hidden by clouds, your worth shines brightly even when obscured.” In times of darkness, let God whisper hope into your heart. Your value remains constant; it is rooted in His love for you. As you face obstacles, remember that you carry a light within you that can illuminate the way for others. Amen. Proverbs 15:3 says, "The eyes of the LORD are in every place, observing the evil and the good." Prayer for the Day! Dear God, thank You for seeing us in our moments of despair and joy. Holy Spirit, help us to recognize our worth in God's eyes and to shine brightly for those around us. Lord, may we find strength in Your promises and comfort in Your presence. In Jesus' name. Amen. Remember always, you are seen and cherished!

Hagar and the angel of the Lord by Light House Harlow

Sarai, feeling impatient for God's promise of a child, persuaded Abram to have a child with Hagar. This led to conflict in their relationship with the family and with God.

Pastor John Ryan Cantu brings this week's message, “Trusting in Faith." Genesis 16:1-4 ESV: “Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. She had a female Egyptian servant whose name was Hagar. And Sarai said to Abram, “Behold now, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children. Go in to my servant; it may be that I shall obtain children by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. So, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife. And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress.” Hebrews 11:8-12 ESV: “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.” If you enjoyed the podcast, please subscribe and share it with your friends on social media.

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. 

Hagar was overlooked, used, and cast aside. Alone in the wilderness, afraid and forgotten, she was met by the God who sees—not for what she could offer, but for who she truly was. He heard her cries, spoke her name, and gave her a future. That same God still meets the outsiders, the overlooked, and the unheard.Catch the latest sermon at bridge.tv/sermonsSupport the show

Hearts That Expand: Learning Compassion from Abraham and Jesus Today's readings focus on two powerful biblical stories . . . . . . the first from the life of Abraham, Sarah, and Ishmael, and the second from the Gospel account of Jesus healing two possessed men. In the first story, Sarah's jealousy over Hagar and Ishmael leads her to demand their banishment, despite Ishmael being Abraham's son. Abraham, torn but obedient, sends them away with provisions. God intervenes with care and promise, ensuring Ishmael's survival and future as a great nation—reminding us that Abraham is the spiritual ancestor of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. The Gospel story presents a stark contrast: Jesus heals two tormented men, but the local people focus on the loss of their pigs rather than the miracle of healing. They reject Jesus, displaying closed hearts and misplaced priorities. The Homily ends by urging listeners to choose which example to follow: Abraham's compassionate, open heart or the villagers' closed-off indifference. We are invited to let our hearts expand through the grace of God, even when it's difficult, and to strive to love, help, and care for others like Abraham and Jesus did. Listen more to this Meditation Media. Listen to Hearts That Expand: Learning Compassion from Abraham and Jesus ----------------------------------------------------------------- Quote From The Homily And so, then there's us, and we have choices to make. We can become more and more like Abraham or more and more like those people in the town, more and more where our hearts are touched. By the suffering, by the needs, by the hopes and dreams of so many people that we do whatever we can to show tender care, to help to pray, or we close off, we build walls. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Abraham Dismissing Hagar and Ishmael: Dutch Artist: Nicolaes Maes, 1653 One of the artist's earliest works. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: Matthew 8: 28-34 First Reading: Genesis 21: 5, 8-20

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.

On Sunday, 6 July, we heard from Ruth as she spoke on the end of chapter 5 in Galatians, the comparison of Hagar and Sarah, and living in freedom. 

How can New Jerusalem (“Jerusalem above”) be “the mother of us all” (all born again believers)? Why is the contrast between heavenly Jerusalem and earthly Jerusalem compared to Sarah and Hagar in the epistle to the Galatians? And why did the apostle Paul name God's New Covenant people “children of the freewoman”?

How to study the Bible: Part V. 5. Hagar learn her lesson in the wilderness the angel of the Lord appeared to her, and said: "Return to thy mistress Sarai and submit (Genesis 16:9). If need be we all can learn the lesson of summitting, we shouldn't think so highly of ourselves.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/chatting-from-the-word-hosted-by-oscar--4081759/support.

In this powerful message, Pastor Marcus Mecum dives into Genesis 21:1-14 and reminds us that our mistakes don't have to define our future. Abraham made a mistake when he tried to force God's promise on his own terms, but God still kept His word.Your miracle and your mistake can't live under the same roof. At some point, you have to decide which one you're going to feed.

By the mid-90s, Van Ha,len was in crisis mode; while seemingly  still a successful band, ruptures between guitarist Eddie Van Halen and vocalist Sammy Hagar forced Hagar's departure from the band in 1996.  What followed were 24 years filled with chaos, egos, drugs, booze, and periods where Van Halen lay fallow for years at a time.Alex Alt (Slydog Music Cast) and me will explore the period 1996-2020, during which time Van Halen went through four singers (one of which you may never have heard of), yet only produced two studio albums, one of which remains a controversial and divisive one among fans to this day.We explore the good, the bad, the ugly and the...whatever, as Van Halen went from being a legendary band, to being rock's greatest soap opera; hence the reason why this episode is entitled "As Van Halen Turns."  Check it out!

An Old Testament figure named Hagar identifies God as the One who sees her. As part of our cloud of witnesses, she encourages us to believe that God sees all the details of our lives including those parts we're ashamed of. More than that, as Tim Keller said, God loves us “all the way to the bottom” seeing all of our unlovable parts yet declaring “I love you anyway.” Cloud of Witnesses Cor Chmieleski Hope Community Church - Downtown Minneapolis Download Message Slides For more resources or to learn more about Hope Community Church, visit hopecc.com.

Are you stuck? Are you homesick? Do you feel left out, lonely? Do you just want to run away. Pastor Cory McTague here examines both Paul in jail, and Hagar in the wilderness as examples of when God's Grace helped Process Homesickness or being stuck.

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.

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.

Guest Pastor Steven Cooper preaches from the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar about how God cares for us in all circumstances. The Scriptures for today's sermon are Genesis 16:1-13.

Read Genesis 17:1-26, especially verse 17; Genesis 18:1-15, especially verses 10-13When Paul rehearses the theological significance of God's dealing with Abraham and Sarah's, he presents a picture of faith, and rightly so, but seemingly without much struggle and no mention of their laughter (See Romans 4:1-25, especially verses 18-25). Not only did Abraham and Sarah laugh at God's seemingly ridiculous proposal, but they lived an imperfect life, in spite of the fact that all along the way God spoke to them directly. But, there were long times of silence when their lack of understanding and faith manifested in their actions, examples: lying to Pharaoh when they lived in Egypt during a famine about Sarah not being his wife; a similar episode with King Abimilek lying again with Sarah not being his wife (20:1-18); Abraham''s relationship with Hagar had produced Ishmael, but God insisted that Sarah, not anyone else, would produce the miracle Son of Promise (16:1-16). Abraham and Sarah were not so perfect as Paul describes in Romans 4:18-25, note especially verses 19-20 “... yet he and she did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, what? In the passage in Genesis clearly presents a more realistic human picture of them. The major challenges to their faith was their time waiting and their ages: Abraham was 99(17:24) and Sarah way passed child bearing age (Romans 4:18-19 “...Her womb was dead.”) But from God's point of view and ability He reiterated that he and Sarah must be the parents. At this he fell face down and laughed, “but to himself” (Sarah was close to 90 years of age!) But, God knew they laughed, see also 18:17, even though they thought they were hiding it from God. But, nothing can be hidden from our God, so better to be honest. And even though they lied, God remained faithful, because He realized that they were only human. But, I don't think that their laughter was a sin of disrespect but a sort of nervous laughter overwhelmed by the promise!Finally sometimes in certain difficult to believe situations we need divine hope: Paul suggests in Romans 4:18, “Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed…” This idea may be connected to one of Paul's gifts of the Spirit: the gift of faith (1 Corinthians 12:9 a special impartation of faith, beyond saving faith, to empower to remain hopeful for the miracle promised to happen. This is what I think Abraham, Paul and others received and although remaining imperfect, God brought these promises to pass.Re-read Romans 4:18; Hebrews 10:23-25; Philippians 1:6

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.

Water in The Rock, or The Rock in the Water? This newletter is lengthy, so let it serve for two Shabbats. There will be no newsletter next week due to visiting Jacob's Tent services Up to the Mountain. In the last several newsletters, we've taken a close look at the many prophecies embodied in Yeshua's walk on the water of the Galilee in Matthew Fourteen. How different was Yeshua's perception of the walk than Peter and the other disciples'! For the one who was the water in the Rock…and the Rock…in the wilderness for the Israelites, it was no problem to also be the Rock in the water to his students. “He alone spreads out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea…” (Job 9:8) Sometimes it helps to put the Gospel of Matthew back into its original Hebrew text. While no one is certain of where that text might be (only fragments are known to survive), there is a version whose provenance can only be traced so far back in Jewish history, yet it is quite accurate considering it was used by a less-than-friendly readership. It is the Shem Tov's Evan Bohan version from the Fourteenth Century. The differences between the Hebrew and Greek texts are not drastic. To Yeshua, the stroll on the Galilee during the storm was perceived much differently than his students, who perceived it as dangerous, chaotic, and "contrary." In the Hebrew Matthew version, the word for contrary is neged, or opposing, opposite. Neged has a good side, too, for Adam's wife Chavah was his ezer kenegdo, or “helper opposite him,” which brings balance. When opposition is a helper, it is because in spite of the opposition, the overall purpose is to achieve unity walking in the Word. The opposite helper pulls the weight of the yoke beside the other, ensuring the burden does not get dragged in endless circles, but can go straight. For example, grace and truth are not opposed to one another. One cannot be practiced at the expense of the other. In Yeshua, they work together. Sarah wasn't such a good helper when she suggested Hagar as a solution to their problem, but she was a good helper when she advised Abraham to send away Ishmael, who had not internalized the righteousness of his father and threatened the inheritance of Isaac. The disciples did not see the waves of the storm as their ezer kenegdo, or helping opposition, but as a destructive force. They were just rowing in circles in the middle of the Galilee, taking on water. Galilee does indeed imply circles in Hebrew, like a roll or spool, and a wave is a gal, pronounced gahl (not to be confused with other gals). This is perhaps what it has in common with the “circle of the earth,” and why from Isaiah's prophecy, Galilee came to be called “Galilee of the Nations.” In Jewish tradition, Moses hid the Rock that followed them in the wilderness in the bottom of the Galilee before he died, which explains why Yeshua would have made his early home near the Galilee and begun his ministry there. The Rock was both the water in the Rock, the Rock, and the Rock in the water. It also explains how Yeshua's ministry prepared the way for the nations to hear the Gospel message from his disciples: “But there will be no more gloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles. The people who walk in darkness will see a great light; those who live in a dark land, the light will shine on them.” (Is 9:1-2) As the region of the Galilee represented the Gentile nations in the time from Isaiah to Yeshua's ministry, so the disciples were dispersed to proclaim the Light of the Word Yeshua to the scattered of Israel as well as the Gentiles who dwelled among the raging waves of tormenting wickedness. Even as we are rescued, we are tested of the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit,

Send us a textThe wise man, like Abraham, does not spurn Hagar. For she is merely preparatory to Sarah. This is the analogy that the great Jewish Platonist, Philo of Alexandria, makes when discussing an education in the liberal arts versus the life of philosophy. While the liberal arts have the dignity only of the concubine, Philo says, education in the liberal arts is nevertheless a necessary step before one can ascend the ladder to Sarah, i.e. philosophic contemplation. Jonathan and Ryan discuss selections from Philo's writings on education and philosophy.Richard M.

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen, we talk about Sammy Hagar's bold invitation to Wolfgang Van Halen to join him for a special Van Halen-themed residency, the dream that inspired his emotional tribute to Eddie, and why he still holds out hope for more musical magic—even without Alex Van Halen. Sammy Hagar is turning up the heat again—and this time, he's calling out to Eddie Van Halen's son, Wolfgang, with a heartfelt and electrifying offer: “Hey Wolfie, let's do a residency someday—just one show of Van Halen songs!” In a new interview with WRIF, the Red Rocker didn't hold back his admiration for Wolfgang, praising the Mammoth WVH frontman for blazing his own trail. “He's not trying to be his dad, and I love that,” Hagar said with genuine pride. “Let that boy boogie!” Despite Wolfgang's past statements that he won't perform Van Halen songs live, Hagar is holding out hope for a one-night-only celebration. But that's not all. Sammy revealed something even more surreal—his new song Encore, Thank You, Goodnight was inspired by a dream he had where he wrote a song with Eddie Van Halen himself. “I had a friggin' dream and wrote a song with Eddie!” Sammy shared. “That's as real as it gets.” He describes the track as a final chapter, a spiritual jam session that gave him the closure he needed. “The ‘what if' is gone now. I feel good. Healthy, even.” The track features none other than Joe Satriani, who Sammy says completely captured Eddie's essence. “The intro… I don't even try to figure out what Joe's doing,” Hagar laughed. “I ain't torturing myself with that.” One person not involved? Alex Van Halen. “Al and I… we've got a problem,” Hagar admitted. “You'd have to ask him what it is. I don't know. But I knew he probably wouldn't be part of it.” Still, when asked if he regrets his time in Van Halen, Sammy didn't hesitate: “Oh, hell no! The only regret I have is that we didn't make more music. Eddie and I were just getting started. We were capable of so much more.” And as a bonus, Hagar revealed he'll be part of Black Sabbath's farewell show, originally planning to sing No More Tears until Ozzy Osbourne himself asked to sing Hagar's Rock Candy! So now? Sammy's cranking up the volume on Flying High Again. You won't want to miss this episode of Exclusively Van Halen—packed with heart, history, and one seriously rocking dream. #VanHalen #SammyHagar #WolfgangVanHalen #MammothWVH #EddieVanHalen #JoeSatriani #AlexVanHalen #OzzyOsbourne #BlackSabbath #RockNews #ExclusivelyVanHalen #JohnnyBeaneTV Want to create live streams like this?

You ever feel like you're surrounded by a million "likes" and "followers" but still feel completely... invisible? Like, are we just screaming into the void of the internet, or is somebody actually seeing us? And speaking of being seen, has God really noticed all the hard work you're putting in? It's a lot, I know!  In this episode I aim to convey that: You are SEEN by God, especially when you feel invisible. Don't look to people for validation. Go to El-Roi! Even in the desert moments, God is there. Your cry to be seen? God hears it. The next time you feel unseen, turn to God and say, "El-Roi, you are the God who sees me." You are NOT alone, my friend. If this episode touched your heart like a good mariachi song, share it with your friends and leave a review! And don't forget to tag me @biancajuarezofficial. We need to lift each other up. And remember, God sees you, even when you feel like nobody else does.  Until next time,  B RESOURCES/LINKS Takeaways Feeling alone in a crowd is a common experience. The desire for validation is deeply rooted in human psychology. Leadership can be a challenging journey filled with uncertainty. Hagar's story illustrates the struggle of feeling unseen. Being seen by God can provide profound comfort and validation. The need to be recognized is essential for emotional well-being. Isolation can lead to feelings of anxiety and depression. God's recognition is more important than human validation. The journey of faith often involves waiting and uncertainty. We are all seen by God, even in our darkest moments. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here https://convoyofhope.org/bianca/  ⋇ Bianca's new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option. https://amzn.to/3MO74OC  ⋇ The Grit Don't Quit Bible Study is now available. https://www.biancaolthoff.com/gdq  ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!
