    Ruth, The Unlikely One Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Dec 31, 2023
     | 2,674 views

    The Lord is using all the circumstances to bring forth his salvation history. Through the hand of God Boaz, a “worthy man” is brought into Ruth’s life.

    The Lord uses the unlikely. In Corinth Paul told the believers not many of you were influential or of noble birth when you were called. That was true for Ruth also. She was the furthest thing from nobility, and she had no influence. She was a cursed Moabite woman. Being one of the unlikely ones was ...read more

    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

    This will be our third sermon on the Book of Ruth. We have been talking about Naomi, and how she and her husband made a bad decision to leave the Land of Israel and move to Moab due to a famine that came to Israel.

    We always have to be careful about making decisions, BUT IT IS ESPECIALLY EASY TO MAKE A BAD DECISION DURING DIFFICULT TIMES. Illus: Many people make bad decisions: • In the midst of a MARITAL CRISIS. People get a divorce, but later they live to regret it • In the midst of a CHURCH CRISIS. People ...read more

    In this chapter, we see the activity of Ruth. What did she do when she came to a new land and what was her purpose?

    She Gleaned When the barley and wheat were fit to be collected, gatherers were employed to chop down the stalks and tie them into packs. Israelite law directed that the corners of the fields were not to be reaped. Likewise, any grain that was dropped was to be left for the gleaners, those ...read more

At the same time, that does not stop our society from believing in the influences of higher forces, or forces beyond our control. Some people call it fate or luck.
