    Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Jun 8, 2010
     | 4,317 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.

    Four observations from Ruth about Elimelech, a backslidden Christian.

    INTRODUCTION The story of Ruth has often been called the greatest piece of literature ever written and the Cinderella story of the Bible. I’m calling our study, “The Romance of Redemption,” a title I borrowed from Ray Stedman. How many of you have already read the story of ...read more

    From Sweet To Bitter

    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,610 views

    Though this book is, for the most part, about the main character (Ruth), let us also observe how this story unfolds for a second character, another woman named Naomi – Ruth’s mother-in-law. We shall look at four reasons why Naomi went from sweet to bitter

    Intro: The Book of Ruth is rich in interesting paradoxes. It opens with a terrible famine and closes with a great feast. It begins with three sad funerals and ends with one happy wedding. In it we see some excellent examples of faith, patience, humility, industry, and kindness in the common events ...read more

    Naomi heard how the Lord had visited His people in giving them bread. That good news combined with very difficult circumstances propelled her back to the promised land. That one two punch is what God often does to backsliders

    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.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,393 views

    How can we make decisions that are most glorifying to God and resulting in His blessing of our lives? When you surrender your decision-making process to God; God will guide and direct you in your decision-making process.
