    How many of you have felt like you want to throw up both hands and just quit. You have nothing left in the tank. I know I have.

    In cars, the gas tank sensor will detect how much fuel is left. When you're driving with the indicator on empty, you say, "I'm running on empty." You know, this also applied to people. If you are exhausted and feel like you can't go on much longer, you can say, "I'm ...read more

    Four observations from Ruth about Elimelech, a backslidden Christian.

    The story of Naomi and Ruth is about how, as the old hymn says, "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform." As dark and bleak as things looked in Naomi's life, little did she know that God was at work to bring blessings, to her and through her.

    A. How many of you have ever had a bad day? Certainly, all of us have had bad days. Right? 1. Let’s have a little fun by starting with some “You know you’ve having a bad day when…” sayings: a. Your horn sticks on the highway behind 32 Hell’s Angels on their motorcycles. b. Your birthday cake ...read more

    Mother's Day: Sometimes we feel that mothers are perfect. This message reveals a near-perfect mother. From Naomi, we see a mother’s strength, her love for her children, and we learn some things about a mother’s personality.

    As you already know, today is Mother’s Day. I would like to begin our message with a short story: A small boy invaded the lingerie section of a large department store and shyly presented his problem to a woman clerk. “I want to by a slip as a present for my mom,” he said, “but, I don’t know what ...read more

    The first sermon from the Book of Ruth showed us the effects of sin on a family that did not trust God for their DIRECTIONS or PROVISIONS.

And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.” Look at the words “Bethlehemjudah” and “Moab.” • Bethlehem ...read more

    The Affliction Of Naomi Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,203 views

    The book of Ruth shows how God used three people to achieve his purpose. These three people had character and were true to God. It also tells the story of how God’s grace was given during a challenging time. We can see that Naomi used her life as a witness for God and it touch others.

    In verses 1-3: The story of Ruth happens at some point during the time of the judges. These were dull days for Israel, when "every man did that which was right in his own eyes" (Judges 17:6, 21:25). Regardless, during those dim and fiendish occasions, there were still some who followed ...read more

    This first chapter of Ruth will help us see that there are great possibilities ahead that we are not aware of. God has been working all along in the background even if all around us is full of darkness and despair.

    We are going to start a new series today in the Book of Ruth. What do we know about that Book of Ruth? For one thing, this short Book consisting of only four chapters and 100 verses is a link between the time of the judges and the kings of Israel. Remember that during the time of the Judges, ...read more
