What does greatness look like in the kingdom of God? It may not look dramatic, impressive, or worthy of attention. Often, it looks like ordinary faithfulness, serving others, keeping your commitments, and trusting God when you cannot see what He is doing.In this message from the Book of Ruth, Pastor Erik explores how God works through ordinary people and everyday acts of faithfulness to accomplish something far greater than they could imagine. Ruth's story begins with famine, loss, grief, and uncertainty. Naomi returns home feeling bitter and empty, while Ruth leaves behind everything familiar to remain faithful to her mother-in-law and to the God of Israel.Through Ruth's quiet devotion, Boaz's generosity, and the birth of Obed, God begins writing a story of redemption that reaches far beyond their immediate circumstances. Ruth, a widowed Moabite woman who seemed insignificant by the world's standards, ultimately becomes part of the family line of King David and Jesus Christ.This story reminds us to trust the God of the ordinary, trust Him during seasons of crisis, and trust the God who redeems. Even when He appears to be working behind the scenes, God is present, faithful, and weaving our ordinary obedience into His greater story. Jesus is the ultimate Redeemer who makes the insignificant significant, the hopeless hopeful, the lost found, the bitter pleasant, and the empty full again.

The final chapter of Ruth brings us from the edge of a cliffhanger to a beautiful resolution that reveals God's sovereign hand in the smallest details of our lives. We witness Boaz navigating the legal complexities of redemption with integrity and strategic wisdom, setting up a public court at the city gate where the entire community becomes witnesses to this transformative moment. What unfolds is a masterclass in faithful love, as Boaz willingly takes on the cost of redeeming both the land and Ruth, while another relative counts the cost and walks away. This mirrors our ultimate Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who counted the cost of our redemption and willingly paid it with His own life. The sandal exchange, a strange ancient custom that made the transaction memorable and binding, points us to the Holy Spirit, the down payment we receive when Christ redeems us. What began in famine, death, and emptiness ends in fullness, hope, and the birth of Obed, who would become the grandfather of King David and an ancestor of Jesus Himself. This reminds us that our faithful obedience in small, seemingly mundane moments is woven into God's grand narrative of redemption. We may never know the full impact of our loyal love toward God and others until eternity, but we can trust that God is orchestrating something far beyond what we can imagine.ChaptersChapter 1: Setting the Scene at the City Gate0:00 - 9:58We discover how Boaz strategically positions himself at the city gate to legally resolve Ruth and Naomi's redemption before the town elders and witnesses.Chapter 2: The Transfer of Redemption Rights9:58 - 21:30We witness the symbolic sandal exchange that legally transfers redemption rights from the unwilling relative to Boaz, who joyfully commits to redeem both the land and Ruth.Chapter 3: Blessing and Acceptance of the Outsider21:30 - 35:00We see the remarkable transformation as the entire community blesses Boaz and Ruth, elevating a Moabite woman to the same status as the founding mothers of Israel.Chapter 4: God's Sovereign Hand and the Birth of Obed35:00 - 45:12We celebrate God's direct intervention in granting Ruth conception, bringing fullness and restoration to Naomi's life and establishing the lineage leading to King David.Chapter 5: Our Place in God's Grand Story of Redemption45:12 - 50:08We are challenged to recognize that our faithful obedience in small things weaves our lives into God's grand narrative of redemption, just as Ruth and Boaz's story led to Jesus.

1 Chronicles 15:25–26 (NLT) – “Then David and the elders of Israel and the generals of the army went to the house of Obed-edom to bring the Ark of the Lord's Covenant up to Jerusalem with great celebration. And because God was clearly helping the Levites as they carried the Ark of the Covenant, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.”   In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall explores three often-overlooked truths about King David's character that established him as a leader respected even to this day. Beyond his musical talents or his failures, David's life reveals a profound pattern of personal devotion, extreme generosity, and a deep care for the well-being of his own household.   Pastor Sumrall explains that true greatness begins with a heart for worship that prioritizes God's presence above personal dignity. From emptying his personal treasuries to build God's house to ensuring he blessed his family after public service, David's life provides a powerful model for how leaders can maintain a generous and worshipful heart. ---- Don't forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon

Aniversario 52 - ¡Recordemos! - Deuteronomio 7-8 - hno Obed Muñoz by Centro de Fe Angulo

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Judges 21:25 NKJV Ruth 1:1-4 CSB Ruth 1:8-10 NLTGod's Kingdom doesn't allow for divided allegiance. It's not "this and that"; it's "this or that."Ruth replied, “Don't ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD punish me severely if I allow anything but death to separate us!” When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she said nothing more. Ruth 1:16-18 NLTGod's greatest blessings begin with the courageous decision to follow Him, no matter the cost or outcome. - (Josh)So Naomi returned from Moab, accompanied by her daughter-in-law Ruth, the young Moabite woman. They arrived in Bethlehem in late spring, at the beginning of the barley harvest. Ruth 1:21 NLTSo Ruth went out to gather grain behind the harvesters. And as it happened, she found herself working in a field that belonged to Boaz, the relative of her father-in-law, Elimelech. Ruth 2:3 NLTBoaz went over and said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Stay right here with us when you gather grain; don't go to any other fields. Stay right behind the young women working in my field. See which part of the field they are harvesting, and then follow them. I have warned the young men not to treat you roughly. And when you are thirsty, help yourself to the water they have drawn from the well.” Ruth fell at his feet and thanked him warmly. “What have I done to deserve such kindness?” she asked. “I am only a foreigner.”“Yes, I know,” Boaz replied. “But I also know about everything you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband. I have heard how you left your father and mother and your own land to live here among complete strangers. May the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you fully for what you have done.” Ruth 2:8-12 NLTAt mealtime Boaz called to her, “Come over here, and help yourself to some food. You can dip your bread in the sour wine.” So she sat with his harvesters, and Boaz gave her some roasted grain to eat. She ate all she wanted and still had some left over. When Ruth went back to work again, Boaz ordered his young men, “Let her gather grain right among the sheaves without stopping her. And pull out some heads of barley from the bundles and drop them on purpose for her. Let her pick them up, and don't give her a hard time!” Ruth 2:14-16 NLTSpiritual poverty always finds miraculous provision when it meets the matchless love of Jesus, our Redeemer!So Ruth worked alongside the women in Boaz's fields and gathered grain with them until the end of the barley harvest. Then she continued working with them through the wheat harvest in early summer. And all the while she lived with her mother-in-law. Ruth 2:21-23 NLTThen Ruth came quietly, uncovered his feet, and lay down. Around midnight Boaz suddenly woke up and turned over. He was surprised to find a woman lying at his feet! “Who are you?” he asked. “I am your servant Ruth,” she replied. “Spread the corner of your covering over me, for you are my family redeemer.” “The LORD bless you, my daughter!” Boaz exclaimed. “You are showing even more family loyalty now than you did before, for you have not gone after a younger man, whether rich or poor. Now don't worry about a thing, my daughter. I will do what is necessary, for everyone in town knows you are a virtuous woman. Ruth 3:8-12 NLTEvery act of trust and surrender opens a door to deeper places of beauty in relationship with Jesus. Now in those days it was the custom in Israel for anyone transferring a right of purchase to remove his sandal and hand it to the other party. This publicly validated the transaction. So the other family redeemer drew off his sandal as he said to Boaz, “You buy the land.” Then Boaz said to the elders and to the crowd standing around, “You are witnesses that today I have bought from Naomi all the property of Elimelech, Kilion, and Mahlon. And with the land I have acquired Ruth, the Moabite widow of Mahlon, to be my wife. Ruth 4:7-10 NLTSalmon was the father of Boaz (whose mother was Rahab). Boaz was the father of Obed (whose mother was Ruth). Obed was the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of King David.

This lecture concludes the book of Ruth by describing Boaz's meeting with the nearer relative at the city gate. Boaz raises the issue of Naomi's land, and the relative initially agrees to redeem it. When Boaz explains that this also requires marrying Ruth so that the family line can continue, the relative declines, saying it would endanger his own estate.Boaz then publicly accepts the role of family guardian before the witnesses at the gate. The elders bless Ruth, comparing her to Rachel, Leah, and Tamar, and welcoming her fully into the community. The sermon emphasizes that Ruth is no longer identified as an outsider but is incorporated into Israel.The final scene focuses on Naomi and the birth of Ruth's son, Obed. The townspeople celebrate with Naomi, and the sermon describes her caring for the child as a guardian or foster mother. Naomi's earlier bitterness is contrasted with this restoration, and the child's name is noted as significant.The lecture then develops two themes: God as restorer and God as the one who incorporates people into his larger story. Restoration is described as something that exceeds the original, and the sermon connects this idea to Scripture, human longing, and the book's ending in the genealogy of David.The final section argues that meaning is found not through self-made legacy but through sacrificial service. Ruth and Boaz are presented as examples of being brought into God's people through other-centered love, which is ultimately connected to Jesus, whose own self-giving death makes incorporation into God's family possible.

No es difícil, se requiere decisión - Deuteronomio 30 - hno Obed Muñoz by Centro de Fe Angulo

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --Every abominable thing that the Lord hates they have done for their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods. Deuteronomy 12:31 ESVJoshua son of Nun secretly sent out two men as spies: "Go. Look over the land. Check out Jericho." They left and arrived at the house of a harlot named Rahab and stayed there. Joshua 2:1 MSGDivine Providence1) God is relentless in His effort to rescue, redeem, and restore. For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. 2 Chronicles 16:9 NKJVGod is faithful to find those who's hearts are sincerely searching for Him.Before the men fell asleep, she went up on the roof and said to them, “I know that the LORD has given you this land and that the terror of you has fallen on us, and everyone who lives in the land is panicking because of you. For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings you completely destroyed across the Jordan. When we heard this, we lost heart, and everyone's courage failed because of you, for the LORD your God is God in heaven above and on earth below. Joshua 2:8-11 CSB2) Recognizing God as God is the first step on the pathway to salvation and restoration.3) Honest pursuit of God and His will is powerful for you and all those near to you. Now please swear to me by the LORD that you will also show kindness to my father's family, because I showed kindness to you. Give me a sure sign that you will spare the lives of my father, mother, brothers, sisters, and all who belong to them, and save us from death. The men answered her, “We will give our lives for yours. If you don't report our mission, we will show kindness and faithfulness to you when the LORD gives us the land.”Joshua 2:12-14 CSB4) Surviving becomes thriving when we align ourselves with God, His wisdom and direction. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after being marched around by the Israelites for seven days. By faith Rahab the prostitute welcomed the spies in peace and didn't perish with those who disobeyed. Hebrews 11:30-31 CSB You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone. In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? James 2:24-25 NIV5) Redemption is a story written in red that testifies to the sovereign work of our loving Savior King! When we enter the land, you tie this scarlet cord to the window through which you let us down. Bring your father, mother, brothers, and all your father's family into your house. Joshua 2:18 CSB Shout!, God has given you the city! The city and everything in it is under a holy curse and offered up to God. Except for Rahab the harlot she is to live, she and everyone in her house with her, because she hid the agents we sent. Joshua 6:16-17 MSGThe men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, mother, brothers, and all the other relatives who were with her. They moved her whole family to a safe place near the camp of Israel. Joshua 6:23 NLTNahshon had Salmon, Salmon had Boaz, his mother was Rahab, Boaz had Obed, Ruth was his mother, Obed had Jesse, Jesse had David, and David became king.

Que La Palabra abunde en nosotros - Colosenses 3:16-17 - hno Obed Muñoz by Centro de Fe Angulo

The Ark Brought to Jerusalem 6David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. 2And David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale-judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the Lord of hosts who sits enthroned on the cherubim. 3And they carried the ark of God on a new cart and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. And Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were driving the new cart, 4with the ark of God,and Ahio went before the ark. Uzzah and the Ark 5And David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the Lord, with songs and lyres and harps and tambourines and castanets and cymbals. 6And when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and God struck him down there because of his error, and he died there beside the ark of God. 8And David was angry because the Lord had broken out against Uzzah. And that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day. 9And David was afraid of the Lord that day, and he said, How can the ark of the Lord come to me? 10So David was not willing to take the ark of the Lord into the city of David. But David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 11And the ark of the Lordremained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household. 12And it was told King David, The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the city of David with rejoicing.13And when those who bore the ark of the Lord had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened animal. 14And David danced before the Lord with all his might. And David was wearing a linen ephod. 15So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the horn. David and Michal 16As the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she despised him in her heart. 17And they brought in the ark of the Lord and set it in its place, inside the tent that David had pitched for it. And David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.18And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts 19and distributed among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both men and women, a cake of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins to each one. Then all the people departed, each to his house. 20And David returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, How the king of Israel honored himself today, uncovering himself today before the eyes of his servants' female servants, as one of the vulgar fellows shamelessly uncovers himself! 21And David said to Michal, It was before the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me as prince over Israel, the people of the Lordand I will celebrate before the Lord. 22I will make myself yet more contemptible than this, and I will be abased in your eyes. But by the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I shall be held in honor. 23And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.

Cuando todo esta bien ¡No abandones! - 2 Crónicas 12:1-8 - hno Obed Muñoz by Centro de Fe Angulo

Ruth chapters 3 and 4 bring the story of redemption to its powerful conclusion as Naomi guides Ruth toward Boaz, the kinsman redeemer capable of restoring their family line and inheritance. At the threshing floor, Ruth makes a bold request for Boaz to take her under his protection through marriage, and Boaz responds with honor and integrity. Yet another redeemer stands closer in relation, forcing the matter to be settled publicly at the city gate before the elders of Bethlehem. This episode explores the ancient customs surrounding redemption, inheritance, marriage, and covenant loyalty in Israel during the time of the Judges. Through Boaz's redemption of Ruth and Naomi's family, the lineage of King David is preserved—ultimately pointing forward to the greater biblical theme of redemption fulfilled through Jesus Christ.

What if the industry's definition of an “emerging professional” is already outdated?In this episode of Deliberate Words, Dave Stutzman sits down with Sophie Dalton and Obed Eriza to explore what growth, expertise, and career development really look like in the world of specifications. Coming from two very different backgrounds, Sophie and Obi share how curiosity, research, networking, and continuous learning shaped their paths into the profession and continue to influence the way they approach projects today.The conversation dives into everything from learning specifications “backwards,” engaging with contractors and product reps, and navigating the growing role of AI, to a deeper discussion about how the industry defines experience itself. Is a “young specifier” really about age...or about proficiency, exposure, and evolving knowledge?Together, the group challenges traditional labels and explores whether the profession needs a new framework for understanding growth in specifications, mentorship, and technical development. It's a thoughtful and forward-looking discussion about the future of specification practice and the people shaping it.

Every great love story relies on a thrilling conclusion, but the story of Ruth and Boaz gives us something much greater than a Hollywood ending—it reveals a cosmic promise. In this final installment of our four-part series, Pastor Derek Holmes walks us through the triumphant conclusion of Ruth chapter 4. Against all odds, and through the quiet, sovereign providence of God, Boaz and Ruth overcome every legal and cultural obstacle standing in their way to finally be united in marriage. But the story doesn't end at the wedding altar. God blesses them with a son named Obed, setting off a divine chain reaction. Obed would become the grandfather of King David, placing this remarkable couple directly into the earthly lineage of Jesus Christ. Join us as we discover how Boaz’s fierce, protective love for Ruth isn't just ancient history—it is a vivid mirror showing us just how relentless, complete, and life-altering Christ’s redeeming love is for each of us today. No matter how broken your beginning looks, God is crafting a happily ever after for us all.

This week on What a Week, Dave Stutzman sits down with two of Conspectus's emerging professionals, Obed Eriza and Sophie Dalton, to explore the unconventional paths that led them into specifications. Coming from architecture, welding, project management, and even English literature backgrounds, both guests discuss how specifications became the intersection of problem-solving, communication, and continuous learning. The conversation dives into the challenge of learning construction “backwards” through completed designs, the importance of networking through organizations like CSI, and how younger professionals are thinking about the future of specifications in an AI-driven industry. Rather than fearing technology, they see AI as a tool that will reward professionals who know how to guide, review, and apply it intelligently. The episode offers an optimistic look at the next generation of specifiers and the evolving skills shaping the profession.

And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.2 And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.3 And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the Lord hath said of the sons of David.4 This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;5 And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the Lord.6 But let none come into the house of the Lord, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the Lord.7 And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.9 Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.10 And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.11 Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.12 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the Lord:13 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the Lord.15 So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the Lord's people.17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.18 Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the Lord by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the Lord, to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.19 And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the Lord, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.20 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the Lord: and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.21 And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.

Are you a woman blessed with the gift of a wonderful mother-in-law? We can hardly think of a more important relationship. Through the ages, this mentoring friendship has sealed families and nurtured them. Likewise, we easily see the pain inflicted when this relationship isn't good.In the Old Testament, we read of a really remarkable mother-in-law. She showed great kindness to a young woman at just the right moment.After returning home to Bethlehem after a famine is over, Naomi wants the best for her young daughter-in-law, Ruth, whose husband has died. Although she must have longed for security herself and companionship, Naomi encourages Ruth to marry Boaz. Eventually, Ruth has a son, Obed, who would become the grandfather of King David!Ruth 1:22 says, “So Naomi returned from Moab accompanied by Ruth the Moabite, her daughter-in-law, arriving in Bethlehem as the barley harvest was beginning.”Naomi's unselfish act, her encouragement to the vulnerable Ruth, is the model for all such relationships. It is intentionally about the other person. It is the story of a woman mentoring and loving another she sees as her daughter.So, how will your mother-in-law's story be recorded? Have you thought about that?How will the women in your family remember you?Let's pray.Lord, people are watching us in how we treat others. Nowhere is that more important than in our own homes. Help us think of others before we think of ourselves. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

This week's episode was just like any other. There was definitely nothing controversial… Logan Jones-Wilkins and I dive into two vastly different gravel bikes we've been testing, starting with my review of the XDS X-Lab GT8. On paper, the GT8 is a standard, run-of-the-mill gravel bike. It lacks a unique "special sauce" and won't revolutionize the category, but it is a highly capable all-rounder that will handle just about any unpaved road. Then you see the price. The GT8 comes with a full carbon build and a power meter for about half the cost of its mainstream competitors. XDS is a massive Chinese manufacturing powerhouse that is now entering the US through a traditional dealer network. We discuss whether you should buy the GT8, and what its aggressive pricing means for Western brands. Then we pivot to the Obed GVR, which Jones-Wilkins has been putting through its paces. Despite sharing the gravel category, the Obed is the polar opposite of the XDS. It is not an all-rounder. Instead, it is a highly specialized, direct-to-consumer machine built around big tire clearance and a DT Swiss suspension fork that was previously a Canyon exclusive. We break down the tech and figure out exactly who this bike is built for. Oh and we've got more 32-inch wheel discussion. Of course there's no way we can get away from that. If you read my recent piece, you know I think the standard makes zero sense for most riders, and I absolutely hate the idea of a new wheel size standard. Logan is taking a more measured approach, analyzing why the industry is pushing this standard regardless of public opinion. Of course, Mike Levy set this up as a pair of dueling articles, so we hash out the details on the air and try to predict where this is all headed. Tune in and let us know your take.

El capítulo final de Rut nos obliga a enfrentar una decisión: ¿proteger lo nuestro o perderlo todo para que otro sea redimido? Descubre en Rut 4 el costo real de la redención y cómo la fidelidad inquebrantable de Dios se manifiesta en el sacrificio de un Redentor que no retrocede.

The Ark of the Lord was captured by the Philistines, but wherever it went throughout their country, God's hand brought judgment. Realizing they could not stand against the God of Israel, they sent the Ark back with offerings on a cart. When it arrived at Beth-shemesh, the people rejoiced—but some treated it irreverently, looking into the Ark, and God struck them. The message was clear: God is holy, and His presence is not to be treated casually. God had already given clear instructions in Numbers 4:15—the Ark was to be carried by the Kohathites, but never touched by them. Yet when David later attempted to bring the Ark to Jerusalem, he followed the Philistine method and placed it on a cart. When the oxen stumbled, Uzzah reached out to steady it, and God struck him down. David stopped the journey and left the Ark at the house of Obed-edom, where it brought great blessing. Same Ark—different outcome. So what's the story about? We don't get to carry God's presence our way. David had the right desire but the wrong method; Uzzah had good intentions but ignored God's instructions. The difference between judgment and blessing was obedience. And the message for us is simple: we honor God's presence by obeying God's Word. We cannot separate the two—because God's presence is a gift, but it is never casual.

Cristina Alexander, Herc Gomez, and Shaka Hislop start this edition of Futbol Americas by posing a few questions now that we are 50 days away from the beginning of the World Cup.

Ruth 3&4 In Ruth 3, Naomi, seeking security for Ruth, instructs her to approach Boaz at the threshing floor after he finishes eating. Following Naomi's guidance, Ruth humbly uncovers Boaz's feet and lies down, symbolically submitting to his protection and requesting him as kinsman-redeemer. Startled at midnight, Boaz blesses Ruth for her loyalty and virtue, promising to redeem her if the nearer relative declines. He sends her home with barley as a sign of care. In chapter 4, Boaz convenes the elders at the city gate. The nearer redeemer initially agrees to buy Naomi's land but withdraws when he learns it includes marrying Ruth to preserve Mahlon's name, fearing it would endanger his own inheritance. Boaz then publicly redeems the property and takes Ruth as his wife, with the elders and people pronouncing blessings linking their union to Israel's matriarchs and the line of Perez. Ruth bears a son, Obed—grandfather of David—restoring Naomi's life and legacy. The genealogy traces from Perez to David, showing God's sovereign hand weaving redemption through ordinary lives. The story illustrates profound themes of humility, integrity, and God's providence: He knows more, sees more, and does far more abundantly than we ask or think (Eph. 3:20).

Send us Fan MailThe book of Ruth records how God preserved a family line during the time of the judges. Ruth, a Moabite widow, leaves her people and commits herself to Naomi, saying, “Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.” She comes to Bethlehem, where Boaz acts as a redeemer according to the law. Their marriage leads to the birth of Obed, the grandfather of King David. Ruth shows God's providence and faithfulness in preserving the family line of David.Support the showStay engaged with new and up-to-date content, including newsletters, articles, podcasts, etc. Download the Teach Me the Bible App from any app store or Apple TV/Roku device.

Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were, Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.4 Moreover the sons of Obededom were, Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth.5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him.6 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour.7 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.8 All these of the sons of Obededom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of Obededom.9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;)11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.12 Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the Lord.13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.15 To Obededom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward.17 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two and two.18 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar.19 These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari.20 And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.21 As concerning the sons of Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were Jehieli.22 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, which were over the treasures of the house of the Lord.23 Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:24 And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures.25 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.26 Which Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated.27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the Lord.28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren.29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.30 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were officers among them of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business of the Lord, and in the service of the king.31 Among the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead.32 And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.

Naomi came home empty, asked to be called bitter, and couldn't see past her loss. But God was writing something she couldn't have imagined. Ruth married Boaz, had a son named Obed, who had a son named Jesse, who had a son named David. And if you trace that line forward, you eventually arrive in Bethlehem, and the Christmas story, and Jesus. Boaz was a picture of what the Bible calls a guardian redeemer, someone who comes from the right family, with the right resources, out of love, to pay a price to bring someone back from loss into belonging. Jesus is the ultimate guardian redeemer. What Boaz did for Ruth points directly to what Jesus does for all of us. This is a beautiful reminder, don't give up on God too soon. A death on a cross became an empty tomb and a new beginning for everyone. Nobody saw that coming either.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Ruth 4:13–22 brings the story of hope to its fulfillment as God turns promise intoprovision. What began with emptiness ends with fullness, as Naomi holds a child andthe future of redemption is secured. This passage reminds us that what God promises,He always provides—sometimes in ways larger and longer than we can imagine. Thestory of Ruth ends with a child named Obed, but it points us forward to a Savior namedJesus, the ultimate fulfillment of God's redeeming promises.

5. Julia: The Tool and Rebel of Augustus (9)Augustus used his only daughter, Julia, as a political tool to secure his heirs. He forced her into multiple marriages with potential successors like Agrippa and Tiberius. While she was initially obedient and produced five children, Julia eventually rebelled by engaging in very public affairs, including one with the son of her father's rival, Mark Antony. Furious that she undermined his public image of family virtue, Augustus exiled her to a remote island for nearly twenty years. After Augustus died, Tiberius took control and starved her to death. (10)

Ruth and Boaz marry and the Lord provides a son. The focus is now on Naomi, who was once bitter, is now holding her grandson. The women rejoice around her and the neighborhood celebrates, just as Christians today are to do. The Lord takes what is empty and makes it full. So even if our lives seem beyond repair, we look to Jesus, who comes from this lineage, to know that we are full in Him.

La Iglesia enfrenta una crisis silenciosa: menos búsqueda de la presencia de Dios, abandono de las disciplinas espirituales y una preocupante falta del carácter de Cristo. Nos hemos alejado de la Vida del Reino… pero aún estamos a tiempo de volver. En esta poderosa enseñanza de la serie “Legado del Cielo”, profundizamos en el significado espiritual del Tabernáculo descrito en Hebreos y descubrimos que el Arca del Pacto no era solo un objeto sagrado, sino un mapa vivo de nuestra relación con Dios: -El maná (provisión) -La vara que reverdeció (autoridad que vuelve a la vida) -Las tablas del pacto (obediencia por amor) La queja, la desobediencia y la rebelión forman una progresión peligrosa que apaga el respaldo y la gloria de Dios sobre nuestra vida. Pero cuando Su presencia es honrada, todo cambia. Como ocurrió en 2 Samuel 6:12, donde la casa de Obed-edom fue bendecida por causa del Arca, aprendemos que: -La presencia de Dios bendice tu casa y todo lo que tienes. -La presencia de Dios se lleva con alegría. Hoy vivimos una adoración en crisis. Tal como confrontó el profeta en Malaquías, Dios sigue preguntando:“¿Dónde está mi honor?” Esta enseñanza confronta con claridad los ídolos modernos del corazón: -Hedonismo (el culto al placer y al “yo”) -Narcisismo (la exaltación del ego incluso en escenarios espirituales) Jesucristo no se conforma con migajas. Él debe ser el centro. El llamado es urgente: quebrantar los ídolos, restaurar el sacerdocio del creyente y mantener el fuego encendido cada día, como nos recuerdan Levítico 6:12 y Romanos 12:1-2. -Que todo lo que no agrade al Señor sea consumido. -Que nuestra vida sea un altar vivo. -Que la gloria de Dios vuelva a manifestarse. Es tiempo de reforma. Es tiempo de volver a Su Presencia

In this message, Pastor Marco concludes the book of Ruth by showing how God finishes the story through Naomi, Ruth, and Obed. God heals what pain has marked, honors quiet faithfulness, and brings redemption that reaches beyond one generation. Ultimately, Ruth's story points us to Jesus—the greater Redeemer, reminding us that even when God feels silent, He is still faithfully at work.

In Part 7 of Jesus Revealed in Every Book of the Bible, Pastor Verna DeHart traces “The Scarlet Thread Through Scripture” in her powerful message, Judges & Ruth: Our Righteous Judge and Redeeming Kinsman. Recorded on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, this sermon reveals how Jesus stands at the center of two seemingly contrasting books—one marked by chaos and cycles of sin, the other by covenant love and redemption.The book of Judges exposes a tragic spiritual pattern: forgetting God, falling into sin, oppression, crying out, deliverance—only to repeat the cycle again. “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” Pastor Verna shows us that willpower cannot break sin cycles—only a King can. Jesus is not a temporary deliverer; He is our Righteous Judge for all generations. Under His authority, truth is no longer relative, and sin no longer has dominion.Then in the midst of national chaos, the book of Ruth reveals redemption at work. Ruth, a widow in a foreign land, chooses covenant over convenience and obedience over comfort. When she sows faithfully under God's covering, Boaz declares blessing over her life. Her story becomes a prophetic picture of Jesus—our true Kinsman Redeemer—who became like us, paid the price, and restored our inheritance.From Ruth to Obed, from Obed to Jesse, from Jesse to David—and from David to Christ—the scarlet thread of redemption was weaving a Savior even in Israel's darkest days.This episode will encourage you to:• Live under the authority of Jesus, your Righteous Judge• Break free from destructive cycles through grace• Trust that redemption is working, even in seasons of lack• Declare that nothing in your story is wasted

Niko joined Jeremiah for an emergency podcast to discuss the very imminent transfer of Obed Vargas from the Sounders to Atletico Madrid. Although no official announcement has been made the deal sounds to be effectively done with a contract through 2030 and the Sounders are expected to retain a significant sell-on percentage and a transfer fee likely in the $3-5 million range. They also discuss who the likely replacements will be in the Sounders midfield and what the financial flexibility the transfer provides.Follow Niko Moreno on BlueSky and YouTube.Sponsor
