Join us in our final episode of a 3 part series on the book of Ruth. There's so much to unpack and sit with in studying the story of how Ruth & Naomi moved through despair to a beautiful new life. The courtship of Boaz and Ruth is one of great integrity, tenderness and inspiration. Naomi leaves her bitterness behind. And these last lines of chapter 4 :"A son is born to Naomi. they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the ancestor of Jesus Christ."

At the end of Ruth chapter 1 we left a depressed Naomi traveling back to Bethlehem with Ruth who refuses to leave her side. It is a bleak time of famine and loss. However chapter 2 of the book of Ruth opens with a burst of hope 'there is a kinsman -- a man of wealth whose name is Boaz.' Join us as we enter into one of the most unlikely romance stories in the Bible. Let yourself soak in the merciful patience and kindness of the Lord always at work to redeem our lives.

We've all heard the beautiful words of Ruth spoken at weddings, "Where you go I will go, lodge I will lodge." But what is the significance of her loyalty to Naomi? How off the wall was this promise given by Ruth, a native born Moabite? What's the deal with Moab in Biblical history? How did living in Moab affect Naomi and her family? Join us for an in depth look at the backstory of this amazing story. Grab your hi-def readers and here we go!
