In today's message from Ruth 1:14-22, we take a deep dive into two very different responses to crisis, loss, and faith. Orpah chooses comfort and turns back, while Ruth clings to Naomi—and ultimately, to God. What does your choice reveal about your love for Christ? Are you willing to follow even when it hurts?

You'll hear:

• How Orpah's story represents many in the church today
• Why Ruth's love is a model of true devotion
• What it means to love God, His people, and His will
• The danger of having "the appearance of godliness"
• How Jesus' sacrifice mirrors Ruth's loyalty—and surpasses it

📖 Scripture References:

• Ruth 1:6–18
• 2 Timothy 3:4–5
• 1 John 3:14
• John 6
• Luke 14:26

🙌 Takeaway: The love that endures comes from Christ alone. Temporary faith fades—but those who truly know and follow Jesus, remain.
