🌱 FELLOWSHIP SCOOP 🌱
Blessed day, brothers and sisters in Christ! đź’š
We had another fellowship gathering, and Pastor Shim shared the Lord's message reminding us that God is with us in times of pain. His message, 'God is with us during our hardest times,' was based on Genesis 16:1-16.
We're familiar with the story of Hagar, Sarai's servant who was given to Abraham and gave birth to Ishmael. When Sarai found out Hagar was pregnant, she mistreated her, and Hagar fled. But the Lord met her and heard her cry, naming her child Ishmael, meaning 'God hears.' Even in their hardest times, God never left Hagar and Ishmael; instead, He comforted them and promised to make Ishmael a great nation.
This promise gave Hagar the strength to persevere until she eventually left Abraham and Sarai for good, as told in Genesis 21.
What's your hardest moment?
God speaks to us through Hagar's story, reminding us that we may not be important in the world's eyes, but we are important to Him. He loves us, never leaves us, and is always with us, even in pain. His love is everlasting, and His promise is unending. Let's continue to thrive and grow in His promise, trusting Him more and more until what's important to us aligns with what God considers important.
