Jesus Our Kinsman Redeemer

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 9, 2019

Ruth and the kinsman-redeemer Boaz are a picture of Christ redeeming His Gentile Church. The beauty of this tapestry is colored by the sadness , then joy, of Naomi; the choice of a young idolater to follow Jehovah; and the birth of the grandfather of David!

Unconditional Love

Contributed by Dean Rhine on Jun 19, 2018

Love in the book of Ruth

One of the things we realize is that often we don’t love like we should. We’re not good lovers! Now, you might think you’re a pretty good lover -- at least your spouse thinks so. You show affection well. You give nice gifts to family members. You provide well for your family. You have ...read more

The Impact Of Influence Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

We are all making history, and influencing eternity, whether we want to or not. The purpose of the Biblical record is that we might see how people of the past have influenced history, and imitate their virtues, and avoid their mistakes

Loyal Friends Series

Contributed by Brady Boyd on Nov 4, 2021

This book seems like an odd fit. There are no epic miracles or battles. It’s a love story for sure, but I think it’s also a book about loyalty and God’s redemption.

Whether Feast Or Famine Series

Contributed by John Huyser on Sep 10, 2024

Admittedly, Ruth is not a book we think of often. But we would be mistaken to think Ruth is not beneficial to us today or not part of God’s salvation narrative.

Slide 1 As we began planning for fall, one tool we used was reviewing where we had been. We look for gaps what remains lacking in a balanced biblical diet.

INTRODUCTION: 196 Last week, our first reading of Ruth changed how we see God’s providence and activity in our lives. We don't get God's attention until His timer reaches zero. We learned that we can be hopeful because He's active in each of our lives all the time. His love for ...read more

When you think of a romance story what comes to your mind? For the more literary types among us it might be Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet or Charlotte Bronte’s Wuthering Heights.

To overcome bitterness, we need to open our eyes to see the personal concern of others and the providential care of God.

Today we are beginning a series of messages based on the book of Ruth.

If we are going to see our lot in life improve, we must open our minds to consider what God would have us do.
