Most touching message ever. No big sin, no small sin. Sarah treated Hagar bad, Hagar had to go back and be humble. Despite their sin God accepted them, saw, heard, sent angels and made both the mother of many Mathew starts wit the names of woman who sinned too, Batseba, Tamar etc
The point of the story is that God did not abondon Hagar and Ishmael but she ended the story nothing to do with the story. It took away the awesome relation that God showed to Hagar.
Hajjar didn’t hve to hide from anything. She gave birth to Ismail who leads to the eventual birth of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh, the last prophet. God doesn’t come down, he sends the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) to her who guides her to water. This pastor gives some truth but mixes it with her own Interpretation thereby obfuscating the real story.
Hāgar was the daughter of the King of Maghreb, a descendant of Salih. Her father was killed by Pharaoh Dhu l-'arsh and she was captured and taken as a slave. Later, because of her royal blood, she was made mistress of the female slaves and given access to all of Pharaoh's wealth. Upon conversion to Ibrāhīm's faith, the Pharaoh gave Hāgar to Sara who gave her to Ibrāhīm. In this account, the name "Hāgar" (called Hajar in Arabic) comes from Ha ajruka, Arabic for "here is your recompense".[21]...copy from wiki
you probably dont give a damn but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the login password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Roman Trenton i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thank you Holy Spirit for showing me a blasphemer in plain sight. She makes a mockery of the gospel and I hope she is exposed. I pray for all those who see and hear this twisted version of the truth.

Genesis 16:3 clearly states that Hagar was Abraham's WIFE. Shame on you guys lying to your christian audience. It's sad how christianity became an open arena for false interpretation to serve propagandas and agendas.
it literally says in 16:1 "Sarai was his wife and Hagar was HER slave". You're talking about the end of the phrase when it says (in the hebrew origin): "and Sarai gave Hagar to be a wife to him" meaning to be a mother of his childת, not a wife instead of Sarai, she was still a Hagar's slave (that why she could banish her).
@@FatManLaughing That's the dumbest and most desperate statement I've ever heard... You literally changing the words in scripture to fit in you brain washed prejudice narrative. You have no shame...
@@dorandacolbert5973 You mean Sara was the 1st wife, not 'the wife' as your prejudice subconscious mind wants it to be.. lol.. where do you find such statement in the bible? there is no definite article, that's your preconceived indoctrinated view. Hagar is considered the second wife of Abraham, and the mother of his 1st born Ismael (pubh). Hagar is one of maybe 2 or 3 women in the entire history of mankind whom God's angels spoke to, She was given glad-tidings about a blessed son who will be a father to a great nation. and God Himself named him Ismael (which means -God Hears-).... do u know what that means? and at what high/exalted place/level a person needs to be for God to send an angel to deliver a divine message to?? To have her son directly named by The Almighty?? Please use a classier tone when you speak about Hagar (May the peace and blessings of the Almighty be upon her)
@@pacificmd1054 Sara says Hagar has to leave and Hagar ends up in the desert again. That doesn't sound like a wife to me. When Ismael gets his name, isn't the prophecy about his destiny? about not getting along with others so well? I don't remember exact words but that is the gist I believe.
If you want to learn about Hagar (Hajjar in arabic) you should read Islamic text about her. This lady gives part of the story but clouds it with her unnecessary flowering and decoration which is nonsense.
