Join Pastor Abbie Sawczak as she unpacks the timeless story of Ruth, revealing how this ancient tale speaks directly to our modern struggles with survival mode and life's setbacks. Through the parallel journeys of Ruth and Naomi, Pastor Abbie explores what our responses during crisis reveal about where we place our trust. Whether you're facing uncertainty, wrestling with identity, or wondering how your story fits into God's bigger picture, this message offers fresh perspective on moving from survival to surrender. Discover why being the "main character" isn't always the blessing we think it is, and how stepping into God's greater story might be exactly what you need to move beyond mere survival.

Then the elders and all the people at the gate said, “We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the family of Israel. May you have standing in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem. Through the offspring the Lord gives you by this young woman, may your family be like that of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah.” (Ruth 4:11-12)   Ruth's commitment and Naomi's wish for her have become true.  Though a foreigner, Ruth is now fully a part of Israel.  Though a widow, Ruth has now found rest in the home of a new husband.  These are beautiful things, but one issue remains outstanding.  Ruth's first marriage was barren and Naomi still had no heir.  While Boaz's costly act of redemption could offer the foreign widow a place of home and  belonging within Israel—only God himself could intervene to redeem the barrenness of Naomi & Ruth and bring new life. This is what the people's desire is for Ruth, and through her, for Naomi.  They offer a blessing: that the Lord himself will accomplish this, making Ruth and Boaz fertile, famous, and prosperous. Then they go on to invoke some pretty profound foundational stories among the patriarchs of Israel. Rachel & Leah were the wives of Jacob—the one who was called Israel.  Like the whole of the book of Ruth—the focus is not on the men's role in these stories, but the women's.  Jacob is not credited with building the house of Israel—his wives are.  It was Rachel and Leah—their prayers, their fights, their tears—that built up the house of Israel.  For a time, Rachel herself was barren—as Ruth had been.  But God enabled her to conceive.  From these two women came the 12 tribes of Israel—the foundations of the nation. Bethlehem, of course, was a city of the tribe of Judah.  Judah's story includes the bold actions of a woman in a situation not so very different from Ruth.  Tamar was also a foreigner, like Ruth: a Canaanite.  Tamar was also a widow, like Ruth.  Tamar also sought redemption, like Ruth.  Judah's first son was Tamar's husband, who died.  Judah gave her his second son to raise up an heir for his first son.  But he also died.  Judah then refused to give her his third son.  He abandoned Tamar to her widowhood, leaving her outside the people of God.  She, however, chose to outwit her father-in-law Judah through some harshly pragmatic means that brought forth her conception, by Judah, of two twin boys—the elder of whom was Perez.  Perez's family became the leading clan of Judah.  Ruth's bold actions to seek redemption among the people of God for Naomi paralleled those of Tamar—the matriarch of the tribe of Judah. One gets the sense from all these blessings that it is those like these matriarchs of Israel and Judah who best extol the character of Israel.  They are those who have wrestled most profoundly with God and sought his favour and redemption despite all the barrenness, widowhood, and exclusion stacked against them.  They are the ones who would not let go of Israel's God until he blessed them.  Ruth and Boaz now stand among them, even as the people wish that this same hard-wrestled blessing of the Lord will be theirs. The invitation here, is to continue to wrestle with God for the blessings of redemption, inclusion, and life that he has promised—and to not let him go until he gives that blessing.  Just like Rachel, Leah, and Jacob, like Tamar and Judah, like Ruth and Boaz.  This is the story of “Israel,” the people who wrestle with God.   As you journey on, go with the blessing of God:     May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you : wherever he may send you. May he guide you through the wilderness : protect you through the storm. May he bring you home rejoicing : at the wonders he has shown you. May he bring you home rejoicing : once again into our doors.

Naomi's cup is empty, the Goodness of God fills Naomi cup, the Goodness of God may be closer than you think.

Ruth and Naomi (Ruth): When dealing with the tragedies of this broken world, it's hard not to let those bitter experiences define you. Due to a famine in Judah, Naomi's family moved to the foreign country of Moab. However, when Naomi's husband and both her sons died there, she decided to return home to Bethlehem. Unexpectedly, Ruth, one of Naomi's daughters-in-law, made the beautifully brave decision to commit her life to love and care for Naomi, even in her bitterness. In the end, the faithful, sacrificial love of Ruth points to the greater love of Jesus. Recorded on Aug 4, 2024, on Ruth 1:1-22 by Pastor David Parks. This sermon is part of the series Ruth: The Love of a Redeemer. In the Bible, the book of Ruth tells the story of a family that experienced a series of bitter tragedies. But through loyalty, integrity, and faithful love (hesed), they find unexpected redemption, restoration, and hope. Our God is a redeemer. Sermon Transcript For the next month, we'll be working through a series on the OT book of Ruth called The Love of a Redeemer. In the Bible, the book of Ruth tells the story of a family that experienced a series of bitter tragedies. But through loyalty, integrity, and faithful love, they find unexpected redemption, restoration, and hope. Now, this is an ancient story, well over 3,000 years old, and is an absolute masterwork of ancient literature. But because it's so well-told, this ancient story is just as powerful for us today. Because how can we face the tragedies of this broken world? How can we remain faithful, find healing, and avoid becoming embittered or resentful when we experience a great loss? Can we ever recover our joy and peace after enduring real pain and suffering? The answer in the book of Ruth is found in the difficult-to-translate Hebrew word: hesed. But for now, if you have your Bible/app, please open it to Ruth 1:1. This is Act 1, scene 1 of our story. Ruth 1:1–2 (NIV), “1 In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. So a man from Bethlehem in Judah, together with his wife and two sons, went to live for a while in the country of Moab. 2 The man's name was Elimelek, his wife's name was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to Moab and lived there.” V. 1 places us in a certain period of history for ancient Israel. “…the days when the judges ruled” took place after the Exodus but before the time of the ancient kings of Israel — probably about 3,200 years ago. The book of Judges takes place during the same time as Ruth but paints a very bleak picture. However, Ruth reveals that not everyone was corrupt or faithless during this dark time. There were good men and women who were faithful to God and his word despite their difficult circumstances. But here, in the opening scene of our story, we're introduced to a family from Bethlehem in Judah. There was a man named Elimelek, his wife, Naomi, and their two sons, Mahlon and Kilion, but there was a problem. There was a famine in the land. Now, ironically, Bethlehem means “house of food” or “house of bread” in the Hebrew language. Because of the famine, the house of bread was empty. So the man decided to move his family to live for a while (sojourn) in Moab. If we look at a map, we can see that Bethlehem was a small town about five miles south of the city of Jerusalem in the southern region of Canaan, known as Judah. Moab was the country to the east of the Dead Sea and had a violent history with Israel. They were not historically friendly. Now, if there was some disaster that happened in Wisconsin, we wouldn't think anything of moving to another state to escape it, right? There would be no moral question about that move. But for ancient Israel, it was not necessarily a good thing for this family to move to Moab. According to the Mosaic Law, a famine in the Promised Land was God's judgment against his people. Now,

Ruth and Naomi (Ruth 1–4)

The story of Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz is not a story about romance, dating or marriage. It is an inspirational story about acknowledging disruptions of life and grieving together the loss, pain and anger we face. Victoria Chu shows us how the three movements of Naomi, Ruth and Boaz inspire an outpour of self-giving hesed love that impacts their community as they move through the grief process together. Currently, in our world, we are seeing pain in the pandemic, violence, polarization, and various tragedies. Where do you see a hesed movement? Victoria Chiu has an MA in Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. She is a Bilingual (Mandarin, Cantonese) play therapist for children and families experiencing grief, trauma, neglect, and attachment issues. She is currently seeing clients through Redeemer Counseling Services in Manhattan and is working towards her doctorate in marriage and family therapy (MFT).

     In our current section on case laws (Deut 19:1—26:19), we are considering how the nation of ancient Israel was to practice righteous living after they entered the land of Canaan (Deut 16:20), how righteousness was measured by conformity to God's laws (Deut 6:24-25), and obedience would result in the Lord's blessings (Deut 11:26-28). In the previous section, Moses set forth a law concerning an unsolved murder, and addressed the responsibilities God placed on the leaders of a nearby city to pronounce their innocence before the Lord (Deut 21:1-9). In the current section, Moses addresses: 1) the just treatment of wives taken in war (Deut 21:10-14), 2) the just treatment of a firstborn son from an unloved wife (Deut 21:15-17), 3) the just treatment of a rebellious son (Deut 21:18-21), and 4) the just treatment of the body of an executed criminal (Deut 21:22-23).      Moses opens this section, saying, “When you go out to battle against your enemies, and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you take them away captive…” (Deut 21:10). The Hebrew conjunction כִּי ki, translated when, assumes the reality of future warfare for God's people. As the Lord's people engaged the enemy, they were to know that it was their God who was giving them victory. In this passage, Israel's enemies refer to adversaries outside the land of Canaan (Deut 20:15), as there was the possibility of some taken as captives. This was contrary to the command to kill everyone in Canaan and to leave no one alive (Deut 7:1-3; 20:16-18).      Moses anticipated a situation in which an Israelite warrior would “see among the captives a beautiful woman, and have a desire for her and would take her as a wife” (Deut 21:11). Here, the word desire translates the Hebrew verb חָשַׁק chashaq, which means “to be very attached to, to love somebody.”[1] This speaks of the natural desire that a man has for a woman in which he sees her as physically attractive and perhaps as a companion for marriage. When used of people, this love is predicated on outward appearance and behavior, which is always subject to change. Interestingly, the same Hebrew word is used of Yahweh toward Israel (Deut 10:15). However, when used of God, it refers to a love that is based on His volition and integrity and not the beauty or worth of the object, as Moses had previously made clear (Deut 7:7).      If the soldier decided to pursue the woman as his wife and bring her into his home, Moses instructed, “then you shall bring her home to your house, and she shall shave her head and trim her nails. She shall also remove the clothes of her captivity and shall remain in your house, and mourn her father and mother a full month; and after that you may go in to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife” (Deut 21:12-13). Shaving the head, trimming nails, and removing familiar clothing may picture the putting away of her old life before the war. Hard changes to physical appearance—including hair fashion and clothing—can help with the psychological transition from one culture to another, assuming the person is willing to adapt. These actions also allow the woman to express her grief during the time of transition and is permitted to mourn her parents a full month. Here, non-Israelite women were allowed to honor their mother and father as Israel's law demanded of His own people (Deut 5:16). Daniel Block writes, “When her hair and nails grow and she puts on new clothes, she emerges as a new person, with a new identity and new status; she hereby declares nonverbally what Ruth declared verbally to Naomi (Ruth 1:16). The actions also remind her new husband that he is not to treat her as an alien or a slave.”[2] This transition would have helped the woman recover psychologically from the natural shocks of war, loss of family, and adaptation to a new culture. Eugene Merrill adds, “This presupposes a degree of willingness on the part of the maiden to forsake the past and to embrace a new and different way of life, for one can hardly conceive of all this taking place coercively.”[3]      However, if the marriage was not working out, then Moses gave legal provision for the war bride to be released from the marriage. Moses said, “It shall be, if you are not pleased with her, then you shall let her go wherever she wishes; but you shall certainly not sell her for money, you shall not mistreat her, because you have humbled her” (Deut 21:14). Being not pleased with her is vague and could refer either to the man's personal desires changing, or perhaps to the possibility that the woman refused to adopt Yahweh as her God, therefore making the marriage impossible to maintain. Whatever the reason of displeasure, the man was to set her free from the relationship and not treat her as a slave, which would add to her humiliation. This verse also shows that Israelites could marry foreign women (although Canaanite women were excluded; Deut 7:1-4). Ruth is the ideal example of a foreign woman adopting Yahweh as her God and walking in the ways of the Lord (Ruth 1:16; 4:13). Unlike Israel, pagan cultures did not afford their female captors such privileges. Moses then transitions to address the Israelite man who has two wives—perhaps as a follow-up to the previous discussion—and sets forth a law concerning the rights of the firstborn. Moses said: "If a man has two wives, the one loved and the other unloved, and both the loved and the unloved have borne him sons, if the firstborn son belongs to the unloved, 16 then it shall be in the day he wills what he has to his sons, he cannot make the son of the loved the firstborn before the son of the unloved, who is the firstborn. 17 But he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the beginning of his strength; to him belongs the right of the firstborn." (Deut 21:15-17)      Whatever the husband's personal attitude toward his wives, whether he loved one more than the other, he was restricted from denying his firstborn son the legal right to a double-portion of the inheritance. Being the firstborn son and receiving the double-portion obligated him—with the appropriate resources—to care for his parents in their old age and to serve as the head of the family. What follows could address the possibility that a son—whether firstborn or not—proved to be rebellious and disobedient to his parents, failing to follow in the path of righteousness. Moses said: "If any man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father or his mother, and when they chastise him, he will not even listen to them, 19 then his father and mother shall seize him, and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gateway of his hometown. 20 They shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey us, he is a glutton and a drunkard.' 21 Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death; so you shall remove the evil from your midst, and all Israel will hear of it and fear." (Deut 21:18-21)      Whereas the previous directive protected a firstborn son from a capricious father, this command protected the father and mother—and society at large—from a rebellious son who was a troublemaker. Here, the son is regarded as being between that of a child and a fully developed adult. Eugene Merrill comments: "These children certainly were not minors as their behavior (v. 20) and punishment (v. 21) made clear, but they also could not have been fully mature and independent adults who were out from direct parental supervision and heads of their own households. Rather, they were adolescents, dependents who were under the care of their fathers and mothers but fully responsible for their actions and resulting consequences."[4]      The phrase a glutton and a drunkard are merely a few of the many characteristics of the son who was largely stubborn and rebellious. Peter Craigie states, “The latter words do not specify the crime, but indicate, by way of example, the kind of life that has resulted from disobedience to parental authority.”[5]      Biblically, parents were to train their children in authority orientation so they would be able to function properly in society. The child who would not submit to his parent's authority was seen as a threat to the welfare of the community, as he would also not submit to governmental authority and eventually become part of the criminal element that would lead to societal harm. In every home, parental influence diminishes over time, as the child's personality becomes settled. At a certain point—and it's different for each person—the child must bear the consequences of his own actions before God and others. If the child reaches a place of maximum recalcitrance, the parents could bring their son to the elders of the community, who would execute him by stoning him to death, and in this way, would remove the evil person from their midst. Executing the son was the responsibility of the leaders within the city and not the parents, and this only after a legal case had been made. That both parents were to do this shows equal responsibility in the home for raising and training the child. Daniel Block writes: "The description suggests the parents have done all they could to raise their son properly, but he is incorrigible and will not listen to either father or mother. The prescription for this son seems simple. The parents are to seize him, take him to the assembly of the elders in the town where they reside, present their case orally, and leave him with the men of the town, who will stone him to death (vv. 19–21a)."[6]      This consequence is not merely because the child is disobedient in the home. Rather, he has grown to adulthood and poses a corrupting threat to the wellbeing of the community at large, and therefore cannot be tolerated, lest he influence other sons to be rebellious against the Lord. Most children possess good and bad qualities during their developmental years and are usually not completely sold to evil at a young age. The scenario in Deuteronomy 21:18-21 seems to picture an extreme situation, such that a son was disobedient all the time, perhaps over years, and had developed such sinful qualities that he was beyond reform and must be put to death, lest he become a cause for evil in the community, which community was called by God to be holy. Though this law was given, we have no biblical record of a parent implementing it.      Having discussed the execution of a son, Moses then addressed the larger issue of what to do with the body of a person who had been put to death. Moses said, “If a man has committed a sin worthy of death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, 23 his corpse shall not hang all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him on the same day (for he who is hanged is accursed of God), so that you do not defile your land which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance” (Deut 21:22-23). This verse addressed the reality that some crimes warranted the death penalty. That the body of the dead person was hung on a tree for others to see perhaps served as a phycological deterrent to would-be-criminals. Such a criminal was viewed by the community as being “accursed by God” and worthy of his crime. However, even though on display, the body of the executed person was not to be left overnight, but buried the same day. Failure to follow this policy would result in the elders of the city being guilty of defiling the land itself. Joshua followed this command when he executed the king of Ai (Josh 8:29), as well the executed pagan kings of southern Canaan (Josh 10:26-27). The apostle Paul referenced Deuteronomy 21:23 in Galatians 3:13 when referring to the death of Jesus. Jesus was cursed in that He was made to bear our sin on the cross (1 Pet 2:24; cf., John 19:31), not that the cross itself made Him cursed.      Interestingly, God Himself struggled to carry out His judgment upon the nation of Israel, whom He regarded as His son (Ex 4:22-23; Hos 11:1). The historical record of Israel reflected a longstanding rebellion against God as they repeatedly rejected His authority and committed horrible sins over centuries. God, on His part, repeatedly displayed love, grace, patience, and goodness toward His people, constantly providing clear directives into righteous living (Jer 25:4-11). The more He sought to lead them into righteousness, the more they rebelled against Him and pursued wickedness (Hos 11:2-4). Eventually, He judged them for their sin by handing them over to others for discipline (Hos 11:5-7). Still, the heart of God was torn, as it wounded Him deeply to consider His judgment, and in the end, though they were severally disciplined, they were not destroyed (Hos 11:8-9). Good and righteous parents will understand the heart of God when dealing with their own rebellious children. Below are some thoughts about women, polygamy, parenting and children:      Unlike ancient cultures that regarded women as lesser beings who could be mistreated or abused by men, the book of Deuteronomy offers no such endorsement. Rather, God established legal rights for widows (Deut 10:17-18), for daughters and female servants to have an equal place of worship at the tabernacle/temple (Deut 12:12), for female slaves—like their male counterparts—to be set free after six years of service (Deut 15:12), and for a newlywed wife to enjoy the company of her husband before he was eligible for military service (Deut 20:7). Likewise, the wife shared equal responsibility for raising the children to know and walk with God (Prov 6:20-23), and the children were to honor their father and mother. Even war brides had legal rights that protected them (Deut 21:11-14). And the excellent wife who honors God, lives wisely, and serves others, is praised for her godly virtues (Prov 31:10-31).      Concerning marriage, monogamy was God's ideal (Gen 2:24-25; Matt 19:4-6). However, polygamy was permitted (though not promoted), except for the king, who held the highest office in the land (Deut 17:17). In polygamous relationships, wives were to receive equal treatment in the home (Ex 21:10-11). Biblically, we know Abraham took Hagar to be his wife, even though he was married to Sarah (Gen 16:3). Jacob had four wives: Leah (Gen 29:23-25), Rachel (Gen 29:28), Zilpah (Leah's maid; Gen 30:9) and Bilhah (Rachel's maid; Gen 30:1-4). King David had eight wives that we know by name: Michal (1 Sam 18:27), Abigail (1 Sam 25:39-42), Ahinoam (1 Sam 25:43), Bathsheba (2 Sam 12:24), Maacah, Haggith, Abital and Eglah (2 Sam 3:2-5), and other wives and concubines that are unnamed (2 Sam 5:13). As far as I can tell, David married only women within the Israelite community and he cared for his wives. In one biblical account, two of David's wives, Abigail and Ahinoam, had been taken captive (1 Sam 30:5), and David prayed to God concerning the matter. God provided David victory so that he could reclaim his two wives as well as many possessions (1 Sam 30:6-18). King Solomon “had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned his heart away” (1 Ki 11:3). God permitted Solomon to sin in this area of his life, and it ultimately ruined his walk with the Lord. Solomon eventually worshipped idols (1 Ki. 11:4-10), and this brought God's anger. God said to Solomon, “Because you have done this, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant” (1 Ki 11:11). God punished Solomon for his sin, but He punished him as a son and not an unbeliever. In spite of David and Solomon's sin, God used them both to accomplish great things. Eventually, Jesus, the promised Messiah, was born in their family line (Matt 1:6-7, 17).      God created Adam and Eve with the ability and mandate to procreate and fill the earth (Gen 1:26-28). Once a mother and father have children, God expects both parents to raise their children to know the Lord and to walk with Him (Deut 6:7-8). Ideally, children are “a gift of the LORD” (Psa 127:3a), and, “Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth” (Psa 127:4). However, godly parents and a godly home are no guarantee children will accept what is provided, as they may turn away from the Lord. Parents are responsible for their godly output, but not the outcome of results. Parents hope for good children, and to this end they teach God's Word, model godliness, and pray fervently. However, the reality is that any parent, even those who pursue righteousness, may have children who fail to follow the Lord and commit themselves to a sinful lifestyle. Such children have disowned their parents and the Lord. This was the case with Eli, whose sons “were worthless men; they did not know the LORD” (1 Sam 2:12). And Eli's sons refused their father's wise and loving correction (1 Sam 2:22-25a), and “would not listen to the voice of their father” (1 Sam 2:25b). Because Eli's sons had continually sinned against the Lord and others, they'd placed themselves under God's judgment, and the result was, “the LORD desired to put them to death” (1 Sam 2:25); which He did (1 Sam 2:34; 3:13; 4:10-11). Similarly, Samuel had two sons who “did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gain and took bribes and perverted justice” (1 Sam 8:3). Such rebellious children are a grief to their parents (Prov 10:1; 15:20; 17:25), not honoring their father and mother (Deut 5:16), who lovingly seek to correct them into the path of righteousness. Children who dishonor their parents also dishonor God, who delegated authority and responsibility to them for the wise upbringing of their children. It's interesting that a child as young as eight could be morally accountable before God, as was Jehoiachin, who “was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the LORD” (2 Ch 36:9).      Godly parents will instruct their children in the ways of the Lord, and wise children will listen and apply what they've learned, subsequently living a beautiful righteous life (Prov 6:20-23). In the New Testament, Paul recognized that Timothy's life was directly influenced by the instruction provided to him in childhood by his grandmother and mother. Paul said of Timothy, “I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well...and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim 1:5; 3:15). In another place, Paul linked a child's obedience to parents as the ground for personal and future blessings, saying, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth” (Eph 6:1-3). The child who made this investment in parental obedience would reap the benefit of a blessed life by God. And in Colossians, Paul wrote, “Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord” (Col 3:20). All children have their sinful proclivities and failings. Hopefully, as they grow into adulthood, they will learn to fear the Lord and walk with Him, producing a beautiful righteous life that honors God and their parents. Until then, parents must stay the course and continue to expose their children to biblical teaching, correcting them when needed, and to model righteousness, patience, grace, all with an attitude of love, being persistent in prayer on behalf of their children (see Job 1:4-5).   [1] Ludwig Koehler et al., The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament (Leiden: E.J.

Summary of Ruth 2:1-23:   The Central Idea of the Text is that Ruth fell under the gracious care of Boaz, her kinsman-redeemer. Ruth went to glean from the fields in order to get food for her and Naomi and was providentially guided to the field of Boaz, her kinsman (Ruth 2:1-3). Boaz reveals himself as one who cares for the poor and desires to bless them (Ruth 2:4).  Boaz notices Ruth and enquires about her and receives a glowing report (Ruth 2:5-7).  Boaz, moved with compassion, tells Ruth to stay in his fields for her protection and provision (Ruth 2:8-13).  More so, Boaz welcomed Ruth into his company and personally served her, providing for her from among the harvest and not merely the edges of his field (Ruth 2:14-16).  Ruth worked hard and shared her resources with Naomi (Ruth 2:17-18).  Naomi learned that Ruth had been blessed by Boaz and informed her that he was a kinsman-redeemer (Ruth 2:19-21); a term employed of God (see 6:6; 15:13; Isa. 41:14).  Finally, Ruth explained that Boaz offered his provision and protection to her during the harvest season (Ruth 2:22-23). God's providential protection and provision for Ruth and Naomi came through Boaz, who modeled faith in God and favor to those under his care, a favor that went beyond what the law required. Favor among men is often the result of God's sovereign work in the hearts of others ( 39:21; Ex. 3:21; 11:3; Dan. 1:9).  Ruth modeled a godly worker who shared her resources with her family and who demonstrated humility and integrity.  God is gracious to us (Eph. 2:1-10), provides for all our needs (Eph. 1:3; Phil. 4:19), and blesses us beyond what we deserve (Rom. 8:28-38; Eph. 3:20-21; 1 Pet. 1:3-5).

Summary of Ruth 1:1-22: The Central Idea of the Text is that Ruth abandoned her birth-family and culture and entrusted herself to God, committing to care for Naomi, her mother-in-law. The chapter opens with a Jewish family leaving Israel because of a famine and traveling to Moab (Ruth 1:1-2). Elimelech died sometime after entering Moab and his two sons, Malhon and Chilion, married Moabite women, Orpah and Ruth, and remained there ten years until they died (Ruth 1:3-5).  Naomi heard there was food in Israel and decided to return to her homeland (Ruth 1:6-7).  Naomi then encouraged Orpah and Ruth to return to their families and remarry (Ruth 1:8-15).  After much weeping, Orpah consented, but Ruth clung to Naomi (Ruth 1:14).  Ruth then abandoned her birth-family and culture and entrusted herself to God and committed to care for Naomi (Ruth 1:16-17).  Then Naomi and Ruth traveled to Bethlehem and arrived at the beginning of the barley harvest (Ruth 1:18-22).  Naomi originally left Israel because of a food famine in the land and returned with a famine in her soul, believing God was against her (Ruth 1:20-21).  However, though Ruth had suffered greatly too—being poor, husbandless and childless—her faith in God was unshaken and the Lord would eventually bless Naomi through Ruth (Ruth 4:14-15).  Ruth's selfless character became well known in Bethlehem (Ruth 2:11).  God will, at times, permit us to leave the place He wants us to be, and after a time of suffering, will forgive and restore us when we return to Him (Isa. 55:7; Micah 7:18; cf. Luke 15:11-24). Trials and hardships provide an opportunity to live by faith and to let our lives shine for others to see (Ruth 2:11).  Faith in God lifts us above the circumstances of our lives so that we can thank Him for the things He causes that help us to be better rather than bitter (Rom. 5:1-3; 8:28; Eph. 5:20; 1 Thess. 5:18; Jam. 1:2-4).  Scripture reveals that God is not only with us (Heb. 13:5-6), but that He is for us (Rom. 8:31), and this gives us stability in our souls while living in an unstable and hostile world (Isa. 26:3-4; Matt. 6:25-34; Phil. 4:6).

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Naomi was the wife of Elimelech a man of the tribe of Ephraim, the son of Joseph.   When a famine hit the land, he took his family to the land of Moab where he and his two sons died.  The wives of the sons were Moabites.  One was named Ruth.   After the famine, Naomi decided to return to her people in Judah so she sent her two daughter's in law back to their families.  Oprah returned to her mother and father.  But Ruth continued to follow Naomi.   Naomi said to Ruth:   Ruth 1:15  Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.   But Ruth refused to leave her mother-in-law and she made this outstanding declaration to Naomi:   Ruth 1:16-17   Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. So Naomi allowed Ruth to go with her into Judah.

Cross TrainingStand Firmly With the LordRead or WatchHave you ever read the story of Don Quixote, the landowner who imagined he was a knight? In Cervantes' classic novel, Quixote's trusty servant, Sancho Panza, pretends to be a squire and goes with Don Quixote on all his misguided and confused adventures. He's not perfect, but he's loyal. Sancho says he "cannot help loving" his master with all his heart and soul, "and cannot leave him in spite of all his follies." Unlike Quixote, our master leads with genuine wisdom and power. Have you ever thought about what it means to be loyal to Jesus through thick and thin?This year we're Cross Training to develop twelve marks of the Master, beginning with faith, which encompasses our belief, trust, loyalty, and willingness to share our faith. This week, let's talk about our loyalty to Christ.What You Need to KnowWhat if there was an English word that could mean belief, trust, or faithfulness … or all three at the same time? That's what's happening with the Bible words for faith. The Bible word translated faith in some places is translated faithfulness in others. The two are linked and if we don't get that, we'll have an incomplete view of faith. God is always faithful. So we, too, must offer our loyalty to him. Habakkuk 2:4 says, "the righteous will live by faith." But the Hebrew word for "faith" mainly means firmness, fidelity, and faithfulness. In Galatians, the same Greek word is translated faith (Gal. 5:6) and faithfulness (Gal. 5:22) in the same chapter.What these three ideas have in common is the firm foundation they create for any relationship. Marriages don't survive without both trust in each other and faithfulness to each other. Friendships are built on belief, trust, and faithfulness (Prov. 18:24), like Ruth's devotion to Naomi (Ruth 1:16-17) and Jonathan's loyalty to David (1 Sam. 24:6-10). But it's much more true for our relationship with our Lord. He is worthy of our wholehearted trust and devotion.John's gospel emphasizes believing in Jesus, but to believe in him is to receive him as Christ the Lord (John 1:11; 11:27; 20:28-31). It's not just believing an idea, it's choosing to stand with him as your King.What You Need to DoLike Samuel’s statement, “speak, for your servant hears” (1 Sam. 3:10), we stand available to God, always ready for our orders. When you see an opportunity to serve others in the name of Christ or to expand his kingdom, jump at the chance. Keep the approval of your master in mind. Can you dare to imagine — as a hymn says — "the smile of the blessed Giver" as he looks in joy upon the faithful deeds of his redeemed servant? Remember the words Jesus used to describe a master's approval: "Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master" (Matt. 25:23). Overcome evil in your life by looking to him in faith and faithfulness. Every temptation tests our loyalty to God. When Joseph was a slave in Potiphar's house, Potiphar's wife tried to seduce him. He was not only loyal to her husband, but more importantly, he saw any sin as an affront against God. He told her of the confidence her husband had placed in him, then asked, "How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?" (Gen. 39:9). Resolve not to break trust with God and damage that relationship. Remember who you serve and why you're able to serve him. Paul thanked Jesus for judging him faithful and appointing him — a former persecutor — to his service (1 Tim. 1:12-14). He said, "For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised" (2 Cor. 5:14-15). So live for him who is forever worthy of your utmost devotion.Through the WeekRead (Mon) — John 19:16-31; Luke 9:57-62; Josh. 24:14-15; 1 Kings 8:57-61; 2 Tim. 4:10-18Reflect (Tue) — What gives Jesus joy?Request (Wed) — "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer" (Psalm 19:14).Respond (Thu) — Repeat the phrase, "I stand with Jesus" when temptations come throughout the week.Reach Out (Fri) — What situations have tested your loyalty to Christ?Support the Show

Family Ties (Ruth and Boaz) • RuthWe can be kind to others because God is kind to us. It isn't always easy to be kind. Sometimes it's hardest to be kind to the people who are closest to us—like our family members and our closest friends. The story of Ruth shows us how.Naomi's DecisionNaomi and her family were from Judah, but there wasn't enough food there . . . so they traveled to Moab. While they were in Moab, Naomi's husband died. But both of Naomi's sons got married. One son married Orpah, and the other son married Ruth. BOTH of Naomi's sons died. Naomi heard there was once again food in Judah; she decided to go back. Naomi told Ruth and Orpah to go back to their homes. Orpah left, but Ruth said she would stay with Naomi: Ruth 1:16.Meet BoazNaomi realized that Ruth was determined to come with her. The two women left for Naomi's hometown, Bethlehem. Boaz was related to Naomi, and he owned fields of grain. Ruth and Naomi needed food, so Ruth went into Boaz's fields to try to get grain. God had made a law that landowners were supposed to leave some grain behind for people who needed foodRuth was able to gather food for herself and for Naomi. Boaz asked the man who was in charge of his workers who Ruth was. He had heard about Ruth's kindness to Naomi, so he went to Ruth and told her she could gather grain from his fields: Ruth 2:8-9. Boaz even gave Ruth some bread and roasted grain to eat. At the end of the day, Ruth was able to bring grain home to Naomi.Wrapping Up the StoryA short time later, Boaz and Ruth had a baby named Obed. Obed later had a son named Jesse who was the father of King David. Many, many years later, JESUS was born as part of their family line. God can use our kindness to accomplish His plan. Boaz, Ruth, and Naomi were kind to their family and friends . We can choose to do that, too.

This week Pastor Ryan talks about the Love in the last week of our Engage Mtown series. What do we do when we are faced with the decision between safe and love. Pastor Ryan talks about the life of Ruth and Naomi. About how grief changed them and how it will change us. Do we try to hide our wounds from others like Naomi? Ruth lived a life that was high in character and that was what was known about her. Love is a declaration when it costs us something. It cost Ruth her future and it pointed to a greater love in the birth of Jesus. Ruth stepped into a life of love and faith. 

Ruth 4

Naomi and Ruth do not have a biological mother-daughter relationship. But their story becomes one fo the most powerful mothering stories in the Bible, especially how adults continue to foster mother-daughter relationships far beyond childhood.

Ruth followed Naomi (Ruth 1:14-17). Ruth, a type of a disciple following Jesus - Wherever you go I will go- Wherever you lodge, I will lodge- Your people shall be my people- Your God, my God- Wherever you will die, I will die and be buried- Nothing can separate us but death Being a disciple of Jesus Christ is a life long affair. Listen to the sermon to know more about that.

We interrupt this jaunt in Judges to bring you the story of a widow from a neighbouring nation; a woman who makes quite an impact on events moving forward.
