In Ruth 2, Ruth “happens” to find herself in Boaz's field—but what looks like luck is actually the kindness of God at work. Pastor Tyler reminds us that God is always providing, even when we can't see it, and often His blessings show up disguised as coincidences. The challenge is to put faith into action and learn to see God's hand in both the big and small moments of life.Questions for Reflection:• What's a recent “coincidence” that may actually have been God's kindness toward you?• Is there an area of your life where God is calling you to act in faith, but you're holding back?

Pastor Jeff continues teaching from the story of Ruth and reminds us that when we are faithful—kind, loyal, and obedient—God notices. Ruth 2:11-12 11 Boaz replied, “I've been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before. 12 May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”

1 Kings 7 verses 1-12 describes the building of Solomon's own magnificent palace - containing a grand hall called the Forest of Lebanon because of the magnificent cedar pillars. It was approximately 45 metres in length and 24 metres wide. It took 13 years to build. He also constructed an impressive palace for Pharaoh's daughter who may be the subject of Psalm 45 and the Song of Solomon. The timber work of cedar and the magnificent gemstones were characteristic of these houses. Verses 13-51 describe the furnishings of Yahweh's House. Both were magnificent, but, the description of God's house occupies the bulk of the chapter. A comment on the two pillars of entry into the house; one was called 'Yachin' meaning established by Yah; and the other'Boaz' the strong one. It was a parable about the Lord Jesus Christ- Yahweh will establish through the one He strengthened. In chapter 33 of Jeremiah we are told of the blessings of our Sovereign, when He brings peace and security; when the fortunes of Judah are restored. Verse 1-3 contains a plea from the Sovereign LORD to call upon Him and He will respond. The thoughts are similar to those expressed in Hosea 2 verses 21-23 and it follows on from the ideas outlined in Jeremiah 32 verses 37-41. Verses 4-5 tell of judgment that the Chaldeans will bring to guilty Judah. Verses 6-13 return to the blessings that will come to a repentant nation. Verse 9 focuses on the time when Jerusalem will be a city where God's truth resides and will be to the LORD for praise and glory: Zechariah 8 verses 11-23. Note well the joy in that city, ie equivalent to the rejoicing between the bridegroom and the bride - symbolic of our Lord Jesus Christ and his ecclesia. Verses 14-26 speak of that time when Yahweh's eternal covenant with David will be operational. God states that this covenant can never be broken, and can be relied on as the sun and moon rise each day. Contemplate the wonderful words of verse 15 ESV: "In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous branch to spring up for David, and he shall execute righteousness and justice in the land". This is speaking of our Lord Jesus Christ. Compare the message of Zechariah 3:8-10. Slowly read aloud these verses and marvel at the blessings that Messiah's kingdom will bring.The 7th chapter of Mark contrasts worship that has been nullified by tradition, with true worship from the heart. The Pharisees found fault in Jesus' disciples who washed not after tradition. The Pharisees were noted for their elaborate ceremonies when washing: they washed so as to prevent water contaminated by dirt from contacting their hands. Our Lord used this situation to tell that legalism was symptomatic of the worship of that time. He spoke of the gross avoidance of responsibility contained in the 5th commandment by the ruse of Corban. Then he showed that defilement is a moral, not a physical, matter. This originated in the mind. The record follows with the curing of the Syrophenician woman's daughter; made possible through her great faith, and the acknowledgment that Israel were God's chosen people. She illustrates the importance of being associated with God's covenant people and on the basis of her faithful confession she gratefully receives the abundant crumbs that fall from the children's table. As Jesus says to the woman of the well at Sychar: "Salvation is from the Jews" John 4 verses 22-26. The chapter concludes with the healing of a deaf and dumb man from the Decapolis.More here https://christadelphianvideo.org/christadelphian-daily-readings/

As the book of Ruth comes to a close, it begins with famine and ends with a feast. It begins with death, and ends with life, as Ruth and Naomi are redeemed by Boaz. as a widow is made empty, then full. And from this union of Ruth and Boaz will come a son, and a future great king, and the coming, King of Kings, as we look at three blessings of this redemption

Ruth 3.1-18. With the barley harvest now over and eligible bachelor Boaz showing no romantic interest in Ruth, Naomi devises a high-risk plan to bring matters to a head, which Ruth bravely delivers. As Christians, we live by faith, not by sight, and are called to a life of obedience. So this chapter is rich with truth for us as well. 10 August 2025.

We delve into the era of the Judges, a tumultuous period in Israel's history marked by cycles of disobedience, oppression, deliverance, and drift. We explore the lives and actions of key judges like Othniel, Ehud, Deborah, Gideon, and Samson, each raised by God to rescue Israel from its enemies. Despite their victories, however, Israel repeatedly falls back into sinful practices, leading to severe consequences. Amidst the moral darkness, the narrative of Ruth and Boaz shines as a light, illustrating God's providence and the preservation of the lineage leading to Israel's future, promised king.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

We explore the second part of the story of Ruth, a narrative set during the time of the judges. Naomi devises a plan for Ruth to approach Boaz, her kinsman-redeemer, leading to a midnight proposal. Boaz agrees to marry Ruth if a closer relative refuses his duty. Through Boaz's honorable actions and Ruth's loyalty, their union ensures the continuation of Naomi's family line…a family line with a world-wide purpose.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Guest pastor Sherri Harder shares the beautiful story of Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz we find in the Old Testament. Ruth, a Moabite widow, demonstrates loyalty, bravery, and faith in God alongside her mother-in-law, Naomi, in a journey full of trials, hope, and ultimately redemption. This message, a favorite of Pastor Sherri's, kicks off our new series full of favorite sermons from our team!

Join Kyle Otto as he shares how The kindness of God is the fruit that leads people to restoration. He teaches through the book of Ruth and shows how the kindness of God through Ruth and Boaz brought restoration and how God's kindness through Jesus Christ redeemed us from death to life. God's kindness through us meets needs and restores lives to God as we abide in Christ, and are willing to meet needs in His way and timing. You will see the restoring power of Christ through the fruit of the Spirit in you.

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: RUTE 3:1-9 Plano De Leitura Anual: SALMOS 66–67; ROMANOS 7  O devocional de hoje está uma bênção! Marque um amigo aqui nos comentários para ler com você!  Felipe e Sandy, emocionados com as histórias de crianças refugiadas, abriram o seu coração e o seu lar para duas delas. Depois de buscá-las no aeroporto, dirigiram quietos e ansiosos para casa. Questionavam se estavam preparados, mesmo não compartilhando a mesma cultura, idioma ou religião, mesmo assim eles seriam os resgatadores para aquelas preciosas crianças. Boaz ficou comovido com a história de Rute. Ele ouvira sobre como ela tinha deixado o seu povo para apoiar Noemi, e quando Rute veio colher em seu campo, Boaz a abençoou com esta oração: “Que o Senhor, o Deus de Israel, sob cujas asas você veio se refugiar, a recompense ricamente pelo que você fez” (RUTE 2:12). Rute lembrou Boaz de sua bênção quando ela interrompeu seu sono uma noite. Despertado pelo movimento em seus pés, Boaz perguntou: “Quem é você?” Rute respondeu: “Sou sua serva Rute […] Estenda as abas de sua capa sobre mim, pois o senhor é o resgatador de minha família” (3:9). A palavra hebraica para abas da capa e asas é a mesma. Boaz deu refúgio a Rute casando-se com ela, e seu bisneto Davi repetiu a história deles em seu louvor ao Deus de Israel, dizendo: “Como é precioso o teu amor, ó Deus! Toda a humanidade encontra abrigo à sombra de tuas asas.” (SALMO 36:7).  Por: MIKE WITTMER 

In Ruth 3, God's loyal love shines through Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz as they selflessly seek the good of others. Naomi courageously devises a plan for Ruth's future security. Ruth boldly approaches Boaz, asking him to be her redeemer. Boaz responds with integrity, honoring God's law even when it means waiting. Each act of sacrificial love in this morally dark time becomes a beacon of God's grace. Their character and obedience invite God's blessings and foreshadow Christ's redeeming love. The message: When we love God and others with loyal devotion, God moves powerfully. Even when life feels uncertain, God is writing a redemptive story through our faithfulness, kindness, and trust in His timing.

We delve into the story of Ruth, an inspiring tale of loyalty, faith, and divine providence set in the time of the judges. We explore Naomi's tragic journey to Moab due to famine, the loss of her husband and sons, and the unwavering commitment of her Moabite daughter-in-law, Ruth, who chooses to stay with Naomi and embrace her faith. As they return to Bethlehem, Ruth's dedication leads her to glean in the fields of Boaz, a relative of Naomi's deceased husband. Boaz's extraordinary kindness and generosity towards Ruth highlight his faithfulness to God. Naomi, recognizing an opportunity in Boaz's actions, begins to devise a plan for a brighter future for Ruth.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

In Ruth 4, the story of Ruth and Boaz reaches its redemptive climax. After Ruth boldly follows Naomi's instructions to seek Boaz as a redeemer, Boaz honors her request but must first offer the right to a closer relative. When that man declines, Boaz redeems Ruth and Elimelech's land, marrying Ruth to preserve the family line. Their union results in the birth of Obed, grandfather of King David—placing Ruth in the lineage of Jesus. This chapter reveals God's quiet yet powerful providence, His care for the marginalized, and His ability to weave redemption through faithful, ordinary lives. It's a reminder that our stories are part of His greater, eternal one.

 This week we'll be reminded of the truth…the truth that is at the heart, the soul, the center of the book of Ruth.  This book is about redemption!  Boaz paid the price to redeem Ruth…and in doing so, redeemed Naomi too!  And of course, his actions in their lives point us to the price our Lord Jesus would pay to redeem us…not just in time, but for eternity!

In Ruth 2, God's providence shines through what seems like coincidence. Ruth faithfully steps out to gather food and “just so happens” to end up in Boaz's field—a man positioned by God to bless her. Boaz shows unexpected kindness, revealing God's grace in action. This chapter reminds us to trust the Lord, obey today, and believe He's working behind the scenes for our good. When we walk by faith, God directs our paths. (Proverbs 3:5–6) 

Will love find a way? Ruth has now asked Boaz to be her kinsman redeemer, and so now Boaz, who loves her, will not rest until the matter of the closer kinsman is resolved. Ruth will have to sit and wait until God's will is accomplished.

Ruth - Ruth 2: What do romantic comedies and the book of Ruth have in common? More than you might think! In a story full of loss, uncertainty and unexpected redemption, Ruth chapter 2 reminds us of our God who elevates those of low position and is the source of all provision. Ruth's openness to grace, Boaz' submission to God's plan and God's radical generosity remind us that He is for us, invites us to be a blessing to others and has offered us new life in Jesus. Join us this Sunday at 10am for the rom-com that truly satisfies. Bring a friend!

In Ruth 3, we see a beautiful picture of Jesus' sacrificial and covenantal love as our Redeemer, who covers us with grace and mercy—our kanap (the corner of His garment, wings, or covering). Throughout Ruth's story, covering symbolizes protection, provision, belonging, and forgiveness: Ruth covers Naomi in her loss, Boaz covers Ruth as his bride, and God ultimately covers His people through Jesus. We are called to receive His covering (Matthew 23:37; Isaiah 61:10) and extend it to others—covering the vulnerable and nurturing those God has entrusted to us (James 1:27; 1 Peter 4:8)—reflecting His love and care in our relationships.

In this episode, we will discuss the book of Ruth, focusing on questions centered on how Ruth relates to Job, the significance of Elimelek, and why Ruth uncovered Boaz's feet.

Life can feel uncertain and senseless, full of “maybe's,” but the gospel reminds us that God is writing a story of “definitely's.” In Ruth 2, we see His redeeming love as Boaz shows generosity and Ruth steps out in faith, meeting in a field where God weaves their stories together. C.J. shared how his own loss and adoption story revealed that even in grief, God is not finished—His redemption is real and personal. Our pain and waiting are not wasted; they are part of His bigger story of hope, hesed, and guaranteed redemption.
