In this section of Ruth, we're introduced to the most important word of the story, "Redeemer." This one word changes the whole story from a nice one about a man helping some women in need to God making things right. In doing so, he shows us how he'll redeem his people through Jesus and how he redeems even the hardest challenges we face.

Boaz sees Ruth in need and then goes above and beyond in helping her. This reflects both God's attitude towards us and sets an example for how we are called to meet the needs around us.

We're introduced to our third primary character in this story, Boaz. And we're told that he's a "worthy man." What makes someone worthy and what qualities and characteristics should we be striving for? In this message, we reflect on Boaz's character and the worthiness that is given to us in Jesus.

Ruth makes an incredible decision to stay with Naomi even though she's giving up her home, her family, and her life as she knows it. In reflecting on her love, sacrifice, and reception, we see a glimpse of Jesus' love, our sacrifice, and the Church's reception towards outsiders.

Naomi has experienced tremendous loss. This pain begins to metastasize into bitterness towards God and towards her lot in life. And yet, God works to thaw her cold heart through his loving presence and care through Ruth. In exploring this, we see how bitterness plays out in our lives and how God's love and forgiveness can overcome it.

We open this series by examining how God's care in the book of Ruth shows us his care for the seemingly ordinary struggles in our life and His willingness to work in the midst of our messiness. We reflect on how we can lean on Jesus in life's messes while looking to bring Christ's love into the messes of others.

We're all too used to empty words and broken promises. However, we have a God who means every word he says and keeps every promise he makes. We are called to hold onto this truth and to embody it with our words as well, giving the world people who are reliable and dependable in their words.

We know that the victory is won and Jesus is coming back, but for now we wait. We explore the final words of the Bible for guidance on what we do during this waiting, and how we remember the past, live in the present, and look to the future.

When in a battle, there is great joy when the king comes to fight and win for His people. We sing joy to the world because on the first Christmas, the king came to save us. We discuss what this means for us and how to let "every heart prepare him room."

What will the end of this spiritual battle look like and what hope do we get from it? We explore Jesus' final defeat of Satan and the celebratory wedding feast that will accompany it!

Scripture reminds us that the Church is not a passive audience but an active participant in a real spiritual battle. Armed with God's strength, His Word, and the armor of the Spirit, we stand against forces that cannot be fought with earthly weapons. Come discover how God equips His people to engage the fight with courage, prayer, and unshakable faith.

In the battle against Satan, we need to be alert and prepared. One danger that can distract us is the worries and anxieties of life. We discuss what we as Christians do with these and how can we be freed from their weight so we can better serve our neighbor and fight the good fight?

As we finish up this series, we reflect on the imperfection of the post-exilic kingdom, the imperfection of our present day, and what we have to look forward to when Jesus returns. How do the ideas of judgment and restoration shape our life here and now?

The promise of a savior came to a people who were no longer sure what to expect. Zechariah promised them that they could expect someone to bring peace, and that promise could give them hope. In this message, we explore what it means to hold onto the hope brought about through the savior king riding on a donkey.
