Ruth | Week 4

The story of Ruth finally comes to an end and unlike modern romance stories of our day, this story is ultimately not about the lives of the character. Rather, in this narrative we see that ways in which God is faithful to restore a broken people back to Himself. We are a lost and broken people constantly looking for someone or something to redeem us. The good news of the Bible, and what we see in this story is the way in which God moves on our behalf and brings us into life with Him.

Ruth Series | Week 3

As we move further in the story, we continue to see the character of God and His faithfulness displayed. The story continues to use this small struggling family as the backdrop for the way in which God works in the lives of those who love Him. This third chapter has remnants and takes us back to the moment in the garden when Adam sees Eve; there are clues pointing towards the final redemption in Christ. The key to this chapter is seeing how burdens (for example what Boaz gives Ruth) is a blessing. God is always leading His people into greater blessing (Psalm 119:1) in what often initially feels like a burden.

In the second chapter we are introduced to another main character who points towards the revelation of Christ Himself. One of the keys in the story that is revealed in this chapter is the way in which God is always working behind the scenes. The author reminds us that while the presence of God is real to the characters, His purpose still remains hidden. We can trust in a God who has been the same and is unchanging because of the nature of His character. We see through Boaz the way in which God works – he gives bread, wine, safety and protection – His mercies are truly new every morning. What seemed like a story that would end in tragedy now has the beginning marks of God’s faithful turnaround.

In the first chapter we are introduced right away to the context that sets the stage for the entire story. Our main characters find themselves living in a time where people are living as they please in rebellion words God. During a time of drought, in the land God had promised them a decision was made to take control and go to a place outside the promise of God. The story begins with out characters not trysting God. Yet, the word we find throughout the first chapter is "shut" which means to "return." The entire first chapter sets the theme of the story and what it means to return to God's grace – even in our sin and rebellion we see the evidence of God's grace as He draws us back to Himself.

People of the Book | Week 3

The Bible is the story of God inviting humanity to know Him and become who He has called us to be. The Bible then is not just any book, but the eternal Word of God that is essential in our spiritual formation. The aim of the Christian life is not to do “Christian things” but to be transformed into the likeness of Christ. The Scriptures invite us to see what it means to live this life and points us to the One who empowers us
