They went into the country of Moab and remained there.” We think of fun coupons, rewards points, holiday fun, air lines extra miles, travel awards and what not; yet we have little or zero knowledge of the ...read more

    It is through Jesus that God speaks to you and me – no matter how dark the times, no matter how difficult the way, no matter how unfaithful people around us may be. God speaks to us through Jesus, and he calls us to himself just as he did Ruth.

    The book of Ruth is the story of an extended family living in a dangerous place during turbulent times. The story is told in four scenes, with a chapter devoted to each scene. Chapter 1 is about a journey, chapter 2 a day in the field, chapter 3 a night to remember, and chapter 4 a morning that ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,586 views

    As you examine the lives of Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah, you find a picture of all people. Naomi represents a wayward believer; Orpah pictures one who was exposed and yet refused the gospel; Ruth is a picture of grace in salvation.

    Three Widows in Moab Ruth 1:8-18 Last week we began our study in the book of Ruth. We discovered that Moab was a place of difficulty and desperation. It is a picture of the world, much like that of Egypt in Scripture. Dwelling in the land of Moab will always result in separation and spiritual ...read more

    In this introduction we look at the background to the book itself, who the Moabites were and the concept of Levirite marriage, as well as looking at the fact that Ruth is in our Lord's genealogy
