    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

    No More Bread

    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

     | 10,371 views

    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.

    At Christmas we are often entertained with amusing stories of sacrificial love such as "It’s a Wonderful Life" and "The Gift of the Magi". In the Word of God we find a true story of sacrificial love demonstrated by a woman named Ruth.

    God shatters dreams which leave us short of full joy even if fully satisfied.

    Scripture Introduction In literature, a tragedy ends with a negative or sad outcome, a comedy with a happy one. Macbeth is a tragedy; Much Ado About Nothing, a comedy. From a literary view, Ruth is a comedy – the characters pass through difficulty (even heartbreak) to end with joy and hope. The ...read more

    God offers a future and a hope to all who trust in him more than we treasure earth’s rewards.

    Scripture Introduction In his old radio show, Thru the Bible, J. Vernon McGee said, “The Book of Ruth is a pearl in the swine pen of the judges.” I’m not sure I would say just that, but these people did live in the time of the judges (about 1100 B. C.), which were not the best years for Israel. ...read more

    You can tell who your friend is when you are in a pickle!

    One of the great paradoxes of life is that - in order for new life to appear, then what formerly existed must be changed in some way or the other, or it must be completely destroyed. Jesus gave an example of this when he said that in order for a tree to grow, then the seed must first be buried and ...read more
