    Ruth displayed her sacrificial love and service to her mother in law, Naomi by her willingness to glean in the field of Boaz even in the heat of the sun. Such godly character produced a blessing that transformed Naomi's bitterness into hope and joy.

Last week, we studied chapter one concerning a man from Judah named Elimelech relocating his entire family to Moab, the land of pagan idol worshipers. Elimelech lived during the time of the Judges, was married to Naomi and they had two sons, named ...read more

    Consider this: 1. God created you to love you and God wants you to spend eternity with Him. 2. God has an enemy who hates you and wants you to spend eternity in Hell away from God. 3. The nature of God’s love demands that we have the power to choose whether we accept or reject the love of God. ...read more
