Jehovah Jireh means “The Lord Will Provide,” and Genesis 22 shows us exactly what that looks like. Through Abraham’s obedience and God’s timely intervention, we’re reminded that God provides guidance, courage, and solutions even when the path feels unbearable. Ultimately, this story points us to Jesus — the greatest provision of all.

This Advent, we begin our series He Shall Be Called by exploring one of God’s most comforting names: El Roi—the God Who Sees. In Hagar’s story from Genesis 16, we meet a God who seeks out the hurting, hears their affliction, and responds with compassion. This message reminds us that no matter how unseen or overwhelmed we may feel, God’s gaze is fixed on us with love and care.
