She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: ‘You are the God who sees me’
Marginalised and oppressed, Hagar becomes a pawn in Sarai's bid for descendants.
Cast out later, she and Ishmael face despair. Yet, God hears her cries, affirming His plan for Ishmael and providing for their survival.
Brian Heasley will return to Proximity Church to delve into the story of Hagar and explore the profound connections between power, perception, and the mission of the kingdom.
Preparation
Brian has suggested it will be helpful to each read Genesis 16, and Genesis 21:8-21 for a fresh understanding of the context.
