REFRESH | Spring 26 | Now I See Differently

Pastor Lacey Beers

This powerful message takes us into the wilderness with Hagar, the Egyptian servant caught in circumstances beyond her control. Through her story in Genesis 16, we discover profound truths about how pain affects our perspective and how God meets us in our deepest hurt. But here's the beautiful revelation: God doesn't just hear our cries—He sees us. The message challenges us to recognize that pain doesn't just hurt us—it blindsights us, distorting how we see ourselves, others, and even God. But when we allow El Roi to become the God of our vision, everything changes. We move from being victims to witnesses of His redemptive power.
