    Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Jun 8, 2010
     | 3,650 views

    In the first in a series of messages on the book of Ruth, a great love story set against the backdrop of the era of the Judges of Israel, we see the high price of sin and Ruth's great confession and how it applies to the church today.

    Ruth Chapter 1:1-22 Introduction J. Vernon McGee calls Ruth "An addendum to the Book of Judges. A brochure of beauty. A bright picture on the black background of the judges."[i] Ruth 1:1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man ...read more

    Ruth goes out into the fields to glean, and winds up in the middle of God’s will by her humility and obedience. We can learn from Ruth’s example.

    Introduction I want to pick up with the though we ended with last time: Lastly, a prayer (paraphrased from Tommy Tenny in the “God Chasers” : Lord, break out of the box we try to put you in and destroy everything in our lives that is not of You. Mess up our schedules, plans, and ...read more

    Ruth - An Outsider Welcomed In Series

     | 9,656 views

    Logically Ruth should not be in the genealogy of Jesus. As a Moabite she is from a despised nation and the only person seeking to be an example to her is Naomi - a woman who is bitter and angry at God. Yet God moves in mysterious ways to include Ruth.

    God shatters dreams which leave us short of full joy even if fully satisfied.

    I question Naomi’s statement. Naomi said that she had left Bethlehem “full” and had come back to Bethlehem “empty.” If she had been so “full,” Why then, had she ever left Bethlehem to begin with? Empty? Didn’t Ruth just pledge to be at her side?

Naomi said that she had left Bethlehem “full” and had come back to Bethlehem “empty.” If she had been so “full,” Why then, had she ever left Bethlehem to begin with?

    In the trailer for Horton hears a Who, Horton says “I meant what I said and I said what I meant, an elephant is faithful one hundred percent.” So I used that as an intro to Character.

    Edward Boone said, "The book of Ruth is the history of a Jewish family, who, like the prodigal of Luke fifteen, went into the far country of Moab and there "began to be in want." W.G. Heslop writes, “The book of Ruth consists of less than 100 verses, and yet it would be impossible to exhaust it ...read more
