HINENI
HERE I AM
As a Missional Church, we desire that every believer in Bartley grows in a posture of surrenderedness, obedience, readiness, and availability before God. This posture is beautifully encapsulated in the Hebrew word HINENI (הִנֵּנִי) — “Here I am.” It is the heart-response of one fully present before God, ready to listen and obey.
The word Hineni appears 17 times across the Old Testament in Genesis, Exodus, Samuel, and Isaiah, at pivotal moments when God calls and His people respond.
17
TIMES
GENESIS, EXODUS, SAMUEL AND ISAIAH
RESPONSE TO THE DIVINE CALL
Examples of biblical character responding with HINENI (הִנֵּנִי) — “Here I am”:
Abraham
Genesis 22:1 – When God calls him before the test with Isaac:
“God tested Abraham… And he said, ‘Abraham!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’”
Jacob
Genesis 31:11 – When the angel of God speaks to him in a dream:
“The angel of God spoke to me in a dream… and I said, ‘Here I am.’”
Moses
Exodus 3:4 – At the burning bush:
“God called to him out of the bush, ‘Moses! Moses!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’
Samuel
1 Samuel 3:4 – As a boy serving in the temple:
“Then the Lord called Samuel… And he said, ‘Here I am.’”
Isaiah
Isaiah 6:8 – In his commissioning vision:
“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying… And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’”
