Podcasts about Ruth 2

Handfuls of purpose- God is "able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think." Ruth and Naomi both experienced this truth about God's love toward us when God graciously provided food for them from an unexpected source.

Ruth taking initiative- It would have been easy for Naomi and Ruth to adopt a victim's mentality when they returned to Israel with nothing. Instead, Ruth decided to go find work so they could buy food. God is a generous and gracious provider for His children.

08 Ruth 2-3; 19 Psalms 78; 2 Corinthians 2-4

"He's behind you!" That's the classic gag in a kids' show. It's always such an obvious setup. So why can't we see how obvious it is that God is behind everything in our own lives? It becomes very obvious in Ruth 2 today.

Adam and Eve knew it for as long as they knew God. They experienced it under tragic circumstances, yet on that day when they needed it most, they experienced it in a powerful and comforting way. The day that they fell into sin, and brought the entirety of the human race down with them, God came to them with a promise - a promise of forgiveness and hope and life.And that promise was repeated generation after generation to God's Old Testament people, through Noah and Abraham, through Jacob and Joseph and Moses. That promise sustained them throughout their history, through their time in Egypt and in the wilderness and right into the place that God had long before promised would be the homeland for his people.    That's where our summer podcast series begins. This summer on Most Certainly True Podcast, we will be walking through about 400 years of Old Testament history. Beginning with Joshua and commencing at the end of First Samuel -  all under the theme The God of the Promise. We'll see and be encouraged through this devotional walk that God is faithful to all his promises especially as we see him fulfill those promises in big ways to his chosen people. We'll see God make good on his promises all along the way, using these sub-themes:  Joshua - LandJudges - DeliveranceRuth - Redemption1 Samuel - KingdomWe hope that you can join us in this devotional walk through these Old Testament books.  We'll read through them, chapter by chapter, and post an episode on each chapter that we read. We hope that you join us so that you can see just what the Israelites of old saw - that God is The God of the Promise.  If you have any questions about this series or our Most Certainly True Podcast, please reach out to Pastor Hackmann at bhackmann@gracedowntown.org.

Message from Chris Newkirk on July 26, 2026

What will you find when you return to God? Ruth 2 answers with a beautiful picture of His unexpected kindness. Through quiet providence and surprising generosity, God begins to turn Naomi's emptiness into hope and shows Ruth the grace found in refuge under his wings.

Sermon Title: WAYYIQER MIQREAH Scripture: Ruth 2:1-3 Date: 7.19.2026 Message by: Dr. Ron Lyles, Pastor Emeritus at South Main Baptist Church

Providence in a Field of BarleyRuth 2Teacher: Pastor Matt PiersonDate: July 12, 2026In Ruth chapter 1, we follow the story of Naomi, a woman who has moved with her husband and sons to the land of Moab to escape a famine in Bethlehem. At the end of chapter 1, Naomi, having lost her husband and both sons, returns to Bethlehem along with her daughter-in-law Ruth. In the second chapter of Ruth, the women are back in Bethlehem, just as the barley harvest begins. Despite the obstacles of being a widow, desperately poor, and a foreigner, Ruth rolls up her sleeves and sets out to work in the barley fields.Join Pastor Matt as we study through the second chapter of Ruth and observe how God is working behind the scenes, guiding Ruth to the barley fields of Boaz, a wealthy and worthy man who also happens to be a kinsman of Naomi, of the clan of Elimilech, Naomi's husband. As the chapter unfolds, we see how God does extraordinary things in ordinary ways through ordinary people.Support the showTo find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

Though an outsider and a Moabite, Ruth lives by faith in the promises and provisions found in God's Word.  The Lord proves faithful to Ruth and Naomi, preparing us to see the hope of redemption.

In part two of Ruth: Redeemed By Love, Pastor Derek Holmes walks through Ruth 2 and the unforgettable moment Ruth meets Boaz — a “meet-cute” that is far more than a charming love-story scene. What looks like a chance encounter in a barley field is actually the sovereign hand of God at work, weaving together grace, provision, protection, and redemption. Ruth enters the field as a poor Moabite widow with no security, no status, and no guarantee of survival. But Boaz sees her, welcomes her, protects her, provides for her, and points us toward the greater Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Through this story, we are reminded that God is never absent, even in ordinary circumstances; Jesus welcomes us in spite of our brokenness; and when we meet the Redeemer, everything changes. This message invites us to consider where God may be working through what we often call coincidence, and it calls every listener to find refuge, hope, and salvation under the wings of Christ.

08 Ruth 2-3; 19 Psalms 78; 2 Corinthians 2-4

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereIn Book of Ruth chapter 2, Ruth is still being labeled by her past—the Moabite, the outsider, the one who doesn't belong. But when the redeemer speaks, everything shifts. He doesn't call her what she was… he calls her “my daughter.”Even as her identity is being changed, Ruth struggles to believe it—still clinging to old labels while being invited into something new. And that's the tension we all feel.When the Redeemer steps in, your past doesn't define you anymore. You belong now.

Pastor Doug reads and comments on Ruth 2.

This week, we get to meet Boaz and the different ways that hope works. Though as we learned last week, hope MOVES, it pushes you to action. Today, we see that hope works in different ways for each of the characters: hope works when you take the first step, hope works when you see people differently and hope works... well, you'll need to keep watching to learn more! ▶SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/SouthernHillsLV ▶Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://www.southernhillslv.com/the-gospel ▶ DONATE: https://pushpay.com/g/southernhills?src=hpp&r=monthly ▶ Visit Southern Hills: https://www.southernhillslv.com/ ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/southernhillslv ▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/southernhillslv/ Pastor Josh Teis is the founder and senior pastor of Southern Hills Church in Las Vegas.
