Mighty Girl, Mighty God (Hagar): the God who sees me

This Mothering Sunday, we look at the story of Hagar - a woman often overlooked, yet the only person in the Bible to give God a name: El Roi, “the God who sees me.”

While others in our Mighty Girl series have shown us examples to follow, Hagar’s story invites us to do something different - to see what she saw about God.

In a world where many feel unseen, unheard or forgotten, this message explores the powerful truth that God sees our lives in full - the joy, the struggle, and the suffering. It also wrestles with the difficult question of suffering, pointing us to the hope we find in Jesus: not just a God who sees from a distance, but a God who steps into our pain.
