Send us a text In this episode of the Village Church podcast, Pastor Eric continues our sermon series through Ruth. The message, titled Need Calls to Risk, begins at the moment in Ruth chapter 2 where Ruth and Naomi face hunger; Ruth steps out, choosing to glean in a stranger's field. Her path, by chance or providence, leads her to Boaz—her kinsman redeemer. As you listen, consider where God may be inviting you to take a bold step; reflect on how your strength shows up in the world. Is it wrapped in kindness and thankfulness, or does it come across as demanding and difficult to approach? Support the showThe Village Church's sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose. Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.

As we continue through Ruth, we see God's providence throughout. Pastor Sean looks at how God' character is reflected in Ruth in her sense of honor, sacrifice, work ethic, humility and gratitude, as well as in Boaz as he is seen as generous, compassionate and God focused. God works out their meeting using their own choices for His divine purposes providentially. How well do we understand the character of God through the scriptures? How well do we reflect his character in our lives and interactions with others? Do we trust Him in all circumstances?

In the message, "Right Place, God's Time," Pastor Rich Whitter explores Ruth 2:1–11, a passage where divine timing meets humble obedience. As Ruth steps into the fields of Boaz to glean what she can, the ordinary act of gathering leftover grain becomes the backdrop for God's extraordinary providence. Pastor Rich highlights how Ruth's faithfulness and courage position her not by accident, but by divine design.In this unfolding moment, Boaz's kindness reflects God's heart—a God who sees, provides, and honors those who take refuge in Him. Ruth had no strategy for promotion, only a willingness to serve and stay faithful. Yet in God's perfect timing, her obedience placed her in the right field, before the right person, for the right purpose.We hope this message inspires you to trust that even in what seems routine, God is at work. Stay faithful where you are—because when you walk in obedience, you may find yourself in the right place at exactly God's time.
Ruth opens with the story of a mother who lost just about everything—and, it closes with the story of a man who becomes a father. From beginning to end, it's a story of a God who is providentially at work in the lives of ordinary people like you and me and inviting us into the bigger story that is unfolding. Join us for a six-week journey, from Mother's Day to Father's Day, through the Book of Ruth starting Sunday, May 11.
As Christians, we believe that God orders the events of our lives and orchestrates all of history toward a glorious conclusion. But does that mean we don't have a role to play? This week, we'll study how Ruth and Boaz each made their connection with one another possible and how they model healthy relationship—even God's with us.

How often do you look for God's provision in your life? Many times we assume that when good things come together it's the result of good planning or luck but what if it's more than that? God's provision is all around us and it is more than satisfying when we humble ourselves to receive it and pass it along to others.
Hope Redeemed: Ruth 2:14-23 w/ Mo Thieman

At the start of the book of Ruth, Naomi suffers a series of profound losses. Her husband dies, and then her sons. Even though her daughter-in-law Ruth swears her eternal loyalty to Naomi. Naomi is unmoved and reports upon her return to Bethlehem (1:21), “I left here full and have returned empty.” Using midrash and rabbinic exegesis, we will do a close reading of the book of Ruth and explore how Naomi's understanding of family and relationships expands. We will consider what the book of Ruth can teach us as our community confronts the terrible losses of this year.

This wonderful love story takes a dramatic and unexpected turn when Ruth goes out to work and meets Boaz.

Ruth 2 picks up immediately after Ruth and Naomi arrive in Bethlehem. Destitute, they seek the favor of a landowner so they may gather food from the edges of the field. But what happens is a description of God's divine, providential hand, giving these two widows protection and provision not just in the short term, but in the long term. The call of Ruth 2 is to come and find refuge in God and discover the riches of his kindness to empower faithful obedience.
Fr. Mike highlights the life of Ruth, and what seems to be the first day of hope she's had in a long time. Sometimes it takes a long time to catch a glimmer of hope in the darkness of our lives, but Ruth reminds us that no matter what we've been through, God is always with us. Today's readings are Judges 4-5, Ruth 2, and Psalm 134. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

No story is too small and no life too ordinary to be part of God's greater plan of redemption. Set within the larger narrative of God's work in the world, the book of Ruth reveals how He weaves together the faithfulness of ordinary people to bring about His extraordinary redemption—not only for those in the story but ultimately for all of humanity.Sermon by Pastor Olivia Pothoff
