Theophany | He Sees Me – Genesis 16

Pastor AJ Rankin preaches from Genesis 16.

This week, we meet Hagar, Sarai’s Egyptian servant, fleeing into the desert after enduring severe mistreatment in Abram’s household. In her moment of greatest desperation, the Angel of the Lord finds her. He sees her. He speaks her name. And He gives her a command and a promise. Hagar’s story reminds us of a powerful truth: God sees you, and He cares about you. He sees you in your most vulnerable circumstances, and He meets you there – not just with sympathy, but with strength and clarity to help you walk forward in obedience and hope.
