Episode Synopsis

Welcome to the first message in our Advent series, He Shall Be Called, where we explore the names through which God reveals His heart to His people. This week we look at one of the most tender—El Roi, the God Who Sees—through Hagar’s encounter with God in Genesis 16. Alone, afraid, and overlooked, Hagar discovers a God who pursues her, hears her affliction, and meets her with compassion. Her story, along with Simeon and Anna’s anticipation in Luke 2, reminds us that God sees us in our waiting, our weakness, and our worry. This Advent, take heart—the God who saw Hagar sees you, too.
