Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Genesis 16 (Genesis 16:1-11 & 13; Matthew 10:30; 2 Chronicles 16:9; Psalms 33:6, 8-9 & 13-15)
We can feel alone in life sometimes. We can feel overwhelmed with life, and yet, nobody even notices.
In Genesis 16 we learn about a name of God from an unexpected person. In her darkest time, she learned that God was El Roi: The God who sees! God is Elohim...He made everything. But God is also El Roi, the God that sees you in the midst of your darkest times.
Bible study description:
Knowing someone's name is the very start of getting to know someone. It is what we use to call out to someone to get their attention. It is how we identify someone.
Our God has many names. Each name of God reveals to us His character, His nature, and His attributes. Knowing His names brings us into a deeper relationship with Him because it allows us to know Him on a deeper level.
When we know His names, we can then call out to Him using His names. There is a reason that our God has so many names...there is power in the name of our God! Do you know our God by His names?
