    This morning we’re going to listen to a loyal love story from the Book of Ruth. Many people have said that the Book of Ruth is the most beautiful short story ever written. It’s an account of anxiety, fear, love, and commitment that inflames the imagin

    Ruth: A Loyal Love Story I like looking at old scrapbooks. For most of us, our family picture albums are stored away in boxes somewhere. Whenever I pick up one of my mom’s old albums, the ancient black and white pictures start to fall out, and I get to relive the memories of my youth all over ...read more

    This is the 1st study in the study "God Is On The Job". This is a study from the book of Ruth and this study looks at God’s presence even when we don’t realize it.

    GOD’S PRESENCE Ruth 1:1-22 It is hard to see that God is working in our lives sometimes. In fact it seems sometimes as if God is not there at all. How could God allow bad things to happen to good people? How is it that evil people seem to prosper? The devil is a master at focusing us on ...read more

We’re so afraid of failure that we may not pursue that next step.” This quote was from 1997 and was made on a TV show about “stealth ...read more

    What was it about Ruth that impressed God so much more than many others. After all, she was one of only 2 women to have a book dedicated to her story. Why?

    OPEN: A Ph.D. candidate at the University of Southern California, was eager for the title of "doctor" - until one newly degreed professor shared his story. He said: A friend had called his home and asked, "Is the doctor in?" The Professor’s 10 year old son replied, "Yes, but he’s not the kind ...read more

    Our constant claims of hot bread backed only by stale crumbs on frayed carpets of man’s tradition have left countless generation’s hungry, homeless, and with nowhere else to go but Moab.

    No More Bread, “In the House Of God” The priority of God’s presence has been lost in the modern Church. We‘re like bakeries that are open, but have no bread. And furthermore, we’re not interest in selling bread. We just like the chit-chat that goes on around cold ...read more
