    Ruth And Naomi Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Dec 24, 2023
     | 2,893 views

    Ruth became the great grandmother of King David. She was in the family genealogy of Mary and Jesus. She experienced personal redemption and was part of the greatest redemption story of all history.

    You can’t make this story up. The story of Ruth is way too far-fetched to be manmade. The likely author of the book of Ruth is Samuel, who was a contemporary with Ruth as both lived in the days when judges ruled. There is just no way Samuel would come up with the idea on his own to include Ruth ...read more

    Elimelech (meaning "God is my king") marries Naomi (meaning "sweet one"). A marriage made in heaven. They have 2 kids – Mahlon ("sickly") & Chilion (“wasting away"). Why were 2 sickly kids born to such great couple? Why famine? Marriage is more than kissing...

    Bitterness & Resentment are two sides of the same coin. Resentment is the attitude people have toward someone or something. Bitterness is the accompanying inner feeling defined as unpleasant, angry, hostile, sour, resentful. Both hurt...

    Series: Wow! Whose Young Daughter Is That? (Part 4) Where Did Father Elimelech Go Wrong?

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020
     | 2,916 views

    One thing the Book of Ruth tells us is death of Fatherhood and rise of Motherhood. All the men died – all the women lived. In today's society, fatherhood is on the decline. Elimelech wanted the best for his family. But some things went wrong. He resembles many fathers today.

    SERIES: “WOW! WHOSE YOUNG DAUGHTER IS THAT? (PART 4) WHERE DID FATHER ELIMELECH GO WRONG?” 1. 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 of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his ...read more

    When life turns bitter we can become better if we quit blaming God, quit trying to isolate ourselves from people who really care, and finally get ready to embrace a new season of hope. There is be glory, after this! God’s word still has answers for a plagued world.

    Often times, when we’re faced with a difficult situation, it requires us to take a step back. We don’t always have the tools to navigate an emotional roller coaster, especially if we’re dealing with something that we’ve never faced before. No one ever expect to go through another plague of virus ...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

    Faith prompted Abram, Ruth and Matthew to step out in obedience to God. The outcome was that they were blessed and became an inspiration to others. May our faith in God be so contagious that many others will be encouraged to put their faith in Jesus.

    We read in Genesis 12:4, When Abram was seventy-five years old, he started out from Haran, as the LORD had told him to do; and Lot went with him. (GNB) Abram believed the words of the Lord who called him, left his country and people to follow after God. The reason for this kind of implicit ...read more

    The book of Ruth holds many themes. Her life was a blessing, an unknown blessing in her time. We live lives of which the outcomes are often unknown. Her's brought a blessing to the whole world. Why?

    Ruth: a Mother’s Day sermon. The book of Ruth starts with the words, “In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land.

    In this scripture passage, I want to show you a family that lived among God’s people, and then due to some hard times, they packed up and moved.

    You might be saying, “So what!” People move from one city to another all the time because of HARD TIMES! That is correct, but anytime we find something in the Word of God, it is there for a reason. WHAT IS THE REASON GOD PUT THIS FAMILY IN THE SCRIPTURES FOR MOVING? Because it was a ...read more
