The Story of Hagar & Ishmael | Abraham’s Forgotten Family in Genesis | Bible Stories

The story of Hagar and Ishmael in the Book of Genesis is one of the most moving and often overlooked accounts in the Bible. Hagar, the Egyptian servant of Sarah, became the mother of Abraham’s first son, Ishmael. But jealousy and conflict within Abraham’s household led to their exile into the wilderness. Alone and in despair, Hagar cried out to God—and God answered. The Lord promised that Ishmael too would become the father of a great nation, proving that no one is ever forgotten by God.

This video narrates the full account of Genesis 16 and Genesis 21, exploring Hagar’s faith, her struggles, and God’s mercy. While the world remembers Isaac as the child of promise, the story of Hagar and Ishmael shows us God’s compassion for those who are cast aside.
