Doing It Right Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Aug 15, 2019

Sometimes people try to accomplish good goals through unrighteous ways. That’s what Naomi proposed to Ruth, and which Ruth complied with. How did Boaz respond to what amounted to an “Indecent Proposal?” Join us this Sunday to see how a godly person should respond in a compromising situation.

The Long Road Home

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 17, 2020

What began as an intended temporary stay in Moab, turned into ten years of despair and suffering. Upon hearing the Lord had visited His people, Naomi made the wise decision to begin the long journey home. It would prove beneficial.

The Long Road Home Ruth 1: 19-22 We know that Naomi had left the land of Bethlehem-Judah with her husband to sojourn in the land of Moab. What began as an intended temporary stay turned into ten long years of difficulty and heartache. Now Naomi heard the Lord had visited His people in ...read more

Favor In The Field Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 1, 2020

As Ruth gleaned in the field of one she had yet to meet, she was unaware of the providence of God regarding her situation. The Lord had led her to a place where she would be noticed by Boaz, the man who would serve as her Kinsman Redeemer.

Favor in the Field Ruth 2: 4-7 As I pondered these verses I was reminded what a difference a day can make. It is amazing how God can take what appears to be an ordinary or even uncertain circumstance and work it out for our benefit. Ruth had made the long journey from Moab to Bethlehem ...read more

Fullness In The Field Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 8, 2020

As Ruth entered what appeared to be a random field, in hopes of being able to glean enough to survive, she had no idea of the providence of God at work in her life. She came empty, and yet, she would leave filled.

Fullness in the Field Ruth 2:8-14 It has been a long journey from the desolation and desperation of Moab. Surely Ruth wondered what she would find as she made her way to a new land. I’m sure there were fears and uncertainties in her mind. Even though she was unaware, God was providentially ...read more

A Conversation Of Hope Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 29, 2020

Much had changed since Naomi and Ruth returned from Moab. Neither woman had any idea what the Lord had in store for their future and how their lives were about to change.

A Conversation of Hope Ruth 2: 19-23 As I studied this wonderful passage, I was reminded of the change that has taken place in such a short time. In the beginning verses, Naomi and Ruth had returned from Moab with little hope or confidence in the future. Little did they know that God was ...read more

Surviving Drought (Covid-19)

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 30, 2020

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

The Truth About Moab Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 4, 2020

Naomi found herself in a desperate situation in Moab. Having left Bethlehem due to a famine, Moab had not brought the abundance they desired. Losing her husband and sons to death in Moab, Naomi was left there with only her daughters-in-law, but hope and grace were available in Bethlehem.

The Truth About Moab Ruth 1: 1-7 Today I want to begin our study in the wonderful book of Ruth. Within this portion of Scripture, we find one of the greatest pictures of grace presented in the Bible. This biblical account focuses on three main characters: Ruth, a pagan girl from Moab who ...read more

The Clever Couple Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 17, 2021

There are few, if any, who become key links in the plan of God who are not in some way clever, and this goes for both Ruth and Boaz.

A young couple who had just gotten married, and who had received many valuable wedding gifts, established their home in the suburb. One morning they received in the mail two tickets for a popular show in the city. A note said, "Guess who?" The couple were amused as they tried to ...read more

A Theology Of Problems Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

History began with a problem. Problems are more universal than sin, for Jesus had no sin but He had problems. Even before sin, Adam and Eve had a problem. Their problem was, should I obey God or not?

A woman who wanted her apartment painted while she was out of town was very fussy. She insisted that the ceiling be painted the exact shade of her ash tray. The painters after trying to mix this exact shade unsuccessfully finally hit upon a solution to their problem. They painted the ash ...read more

Ordinary People Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Everybody in this book is ordinary. Obed, the baby who gives the book a happy ending, does not grow up to do anything of significance that we know of. There are no great battles, no miracles, and no profound theological statements in this book. Not one person in this book was above ordinary.

What woman do you know who has had a thousand men propose to her from fisherman to millionaires; from the penniless on the bowry to the prince of a royal European family? And who was still getting regular proposals after she was 70 years old? There was such a woman, and her name was Evangeline ...read more

Desirable Determination Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 4, 2021

The old saying that where there is a will there is a way is confirmed over and over again. People with a spirit of determination are doing the improbable all the time, and by the grace and providence of God, sometimes even the impossible.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn is one of the great modern examples of the power of determination. He served time in the Siberian waste land for making a disparaging remark about Stalin in a letter. He endured six years of imprisonment, when he suddenly discovered the joy of writing. He was suffering for ...read more

The Clever Couple Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 4, 2021

Cleverness is the ability to skillfully work your way through complex circumstances to a goal that is your aim to reach. Godly cleverness is aiming for a goal that is pleasing to God. Boaz was blessed with godly cleverness. This is a virtue that has changed the entire world in which we live.

Godly Grandparents Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 4, 2021

Godly grandparents have such a powerful impact on the lives of grandchildren that one is not far from the mark to say that the church and the Sunday School, and all other arms of the kingdom of God are supplements to the influence of grandparents.

Among the many things that makes man unique in creation is the presence of, and the influence of, grandparents. F. W. Boreham many years ago pointed out that in the vegetable world, "The bursting buds of spring push off the last lingering leaves of the previous season, and thus decline to ...read more
