Description
The women in the Bible asked the same three questions we all still ask today: How does everyone else see me? How do I see myself? How does God see me?
The Known By Name Bible study series for women-taught by seasoned Bible teachers Jada Edwards, Kasey Van Norman, and Nicole Johnson-will take you and your group through the lives of biblical women to learn more about God and how to answer these essential questions.
Hagar's story, found in Genesis 16, is a story of cultural victimization. She was betrayed, abandoned, and scorned. Her response? She did what most of us would do when deeply hurt by someone we trust-she ran away. She got defensive. She retreated to a place where she felt safe. She felt justified in her anger and hurt. But deep in her core was a woman who longed to be seen and hoped for redemption.
Follow Hagar in this 4-session Bible study (DVD/video streaming sold separately) as she learns from hurt and heartache that what is unresolved is not unseen by God. The lack of finality in Hagar's story teaches us to trust God with the ending-believing that he sees us and knows.
This study guide features video notes, group discussion questions, and between-session activities like reflecting on the drama and teachings, studying the character story in Scripture, memory verses, and journaling.
Sessions include:
Exposing the Lie of Shame
Rejected to Accepted
Trusting after Betrayal
Transformed and Seen
