When people honor a common humanity and cherish the innate beauty of every living species we have a chance to live in a heaven on earth.

This week, Jess Ninaber continues our Names of God series with a message on El Roi—the God who sees. Through the story of Hagar, we are reminded that God sees us fully, even in our most painful and overlooked moments. He is not passive or distant but the God who actively pursues, provides, and restores. El Roi meets us in the wilderness, calls us by name, and dignifies us with His love. As we begin to see the way He sees, we are empowered to see others with the same compassion and to recognize what He is doing in our own wilderness seasons.

We prefer a god we can box in, control, and contain with rules and regulations, but because of it, we end up serving a false god made in our own image. It is called legalism and is merely a cover for our attempts to control the universe around us. Christ Jesus, the Son of God, is the One truly in control of the universe, and he gets to determine what we do and when we do it. His thoughts are higher and his ways are better. When we let him control instead of trying to take the reins ourselves, he leads us to love, service, freedom, and delight. Takeaways: Trusting in God requires a holistic approach, encompassing every aspect of our lives, not just selected areas. The Sabbath is intended to be a day of rest, joy, and healing, rather than a burden of rules. Jesus emphasizes that mercy and kindness should take precedence over rigid adherence to religious laws. The essence of faith lies in recognizing God's grace, which liberates us from the yoke of legalism and guilt. Christianity is fundamentally about what God has accomplished for us, not what we must do to earn His favor. Our understanding of the Sabbath should reflect the heart of God, focusing on love and compassion above all. Companies mentioned in this episode: Compassion International
