A Call in the Wilderness: The God Who Sees and the Woman Who Survived | Sr Monique Platts | 13 June 2026

In this inspiring Adventist Women's Ministries Emphasis Day message, Sr Monique Platts explores the powerful story of Hagar—a woman who felt forgotten, rejected, and invisible, yet encountered the God who saw her in the wilderness.Journey through Scripture as we discover how God meets people in their moments of pain, loneliness, and uncertainty. Through the experiences of Hagar, Isaiah, Mary Magdalene, and ultimately Jesus Christ, we are reminded that before we ever say, “Here I am, Lord,” God has already said to us, “Here I am.”This sermon reveals the beautiful truth that God knows our names, sees our struggles, and calls us into His mission. No matter how unseen or insignificant you may feel, the God of Hagar—El Roi, the God Who Sees—is still seeking, finding, and restoring people today.✨ In this message:• The significance of Hagar's encounter with God in the wilderness• Understanding God as El Roi—"The God Who Sees Me"• How Jesus embodies God's desire to seek and save the forgotten• Finding your identity beyond labels and past experiences• Answering God's call with faith and confidenceMay this message encourage you to trust that God sees you, knows you, loves you, and has a purpose for your life.
