Is loving your family first a biblical idea—or a betrayal of Jesus' call to love your neighbor? In this thought-provoking episode, Mike Tolliver—Executive Director of the Center for Hebraic Thought—joins Dru Johnson to explore his developing PhD thesis on Storge (family love), the kinsman-redeemer, and what biblical justice actually looks like. Drawing on Torah, philosophy, and early Christian texts, Mike argues that Storge love is not only natural—it's essential to a functioning society, and that Israel's family-based justice system was designed to eliminate categories like “orphan” and “widow.” He explores why Paul uses the metaphor of adoption—and not kinsman-redeemer—for Gentile inclusion, and why the Ten Commandments are saturated with family ethics. From Sophie's Choice-style sermon illustrations to questions about circumcision, baptism, and ethnic election, this episode unpacks the implications of what it means to love your kin without devaluing the stranger. As Mike prepares for PhD work, his big question is: What does rightly ordered family love look like in Scripture—and what happens when it gets misordered? We are listener supported.

In this powerful conclusion to our study of Ruth, Pastor Byron walks through Ruth 4 and Boaz's legal redemption at the city gate. Boaz, acting with integrity and wisdom, steps in as the true Kinsman Redeemer—fulfilling the law where the nearer relative could not. This message highlights the deeper symbolism in the story: Naomi as a picture of Israel, Ruth as a symbol of the Gentile Church, Boaz as a type of Christ, and the law's inability to redeem. It all points to God's providence in grafting Ruth—a Gentile—into the royal line of David and ultimately to Jesus Christ. A story of redemption, legacy, and sovereign grace.

In this concluding message of the "Love in Action" series, Matthew explores the beautiful story of redemption found in Ruth chapter 4. Beginning with the image of an adopted child finding belonging, the sermon draws parallels to how God's redemptive love transforms lives from uncertainty to joy. The message explores three key aspects of redemption: The Process of Redemption (Ruth 4:1-12): Through Boaz's careful legal proceedings at the city gate, we see how redemption follows God's ordered timing rather than our hurried plans. Boaz's willingness to pay a price for Ruth and Naomi's land reminds us that meaningful redemption always requires sacrifice. This process also highlights how restoration happens within community, not in isolation. The Purpose of Redemption (Ruth 4:13-17): God's redemptive work restores what was lost, though sometimes in unexpected ways. The transformation is striking - Naomi moves from bitterness to blessing, Ruth from foreigner to family member, and Obed from potential outcast to ancestor of kings. Most importantly, redemption's impact extends beyond the immediate recipients, affecting future generations. The Promise in Redemption (Ruth 4:18-22): What appears to be a simple genealogy reveals God's greater plan - Ruth and Boaz's great-grandson would be King David, from whose line would come Jesus Christ. This reminds us that our current struggles may be preparation for something greater than we can imagine. The story showcases how God includes unlikely people in His redemptive plan and points forward to Christ, our ultimate Kinsman-Redeemer. The sermon concludes with the powerful truth that "God redeems our darkest chapters into His most beautiful stories," challenging listeners to trust God in their own "bitter" seasons and to consider how they might participate in God's redemptive work in others' lives.

Well folks… the story that we will be discussing over the next few weeks… has for us… a happy…ending. It doesn't start happy. But it ends happy. As a matter of fact…the story we have before us today starts out with a funeral…but it ends with a wedding. It starts with a famine…but it ends with fullness. Well... what is this story we are going to listen to today?It's a WONDERFUL story… about two people who get married. And at the end of this story…we just feel like we want to add a last verse to this book… and have it say…"And they lived happily ever after".

The story of Christmas is found in the stories of five women in the genealogy of Jesus. The story of Ruth is the story of God's redemptive love. Ruth was a Moabite, a people born out of incest. The Moabites hated God, and their sin was so great that God forbade any Moabite to ever enter the assembly of Israel for ten generations. Ruth, who is a picture of us, would be redeemed by Boaz—a picture of Jesus! To be legally married, Ruth would have to be married to a “kinsman redeemer”—a close relative of her deceased husband. The law of the “kinsman redeemer” is found in Leviticus 25. It was a provision to redeem family land and a deceased man's wife. There was a closer kinsman than Boaz who was legally first in line to redeem Ruth. He could not redeem Ruth because he is a picture of the Law. The Law can only reveal our sin. It cannot redeem us from our sin. The Law was not given to redeem us, but rather to teach us of our need to be redeemed! Boaz became Ruth's “kinsman redeemer,” like Jesus is to us! As our “kinsman redeemer,” Jesus, who was God, came as one of us—a Man! Like Boaz, Jesus paid the price to redeem the family land (earth), and He redeemed us to be His bride. Ruth's name means friend because now God not only calls us family, He calls us friend. Because of Boaz, Ruth would be in the genealogy of Jesus! Ruth would give birth to a son named Obed, whose name means worship. He would be the grandfather of King David and a direct ancestor of the Lord Jesus. When you really get to know your Boaz, it always gives birth to Obed—worship! Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he shares how Ruth's story foreshadows Christ's role as our kinsman redeemer.
