Today's readings are Judges 9-11, Ruth 4, and Psalm 137. In the reading from Judges, we hear about the rise and fall of Abimelech, as well as the misguided and heartbreaking vow Jephthah makes to God in return for victory over the Ammonites. We also conclude the book of Ruth with the marriage of Boaz and Ruth. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Chapter 4 of Ruth.Boaz went to the town gate and took a seat there. Just then the family redeemer he had mentioned came by, so Boaz called out to him, “Come over here and sit down, friend. I want to talk to you.” So they sat down together. Then Boaz called ten leaders from the town and asked them to sit as witnesses. And Boaz said to the family redeemer, “You know Naomi, who came back from Moab. She is selling the land that belonged to our relative Elimelech. I thought I should speak to you about it so that you can redeem it if you wish. If you want the land, then buy it here in the presence of these witnesses. But if you don't want it, let me know right away, because I am next in line to redeem it after you.”The man replied, “All right, I'll redeem it.”Then Boaz told him, “Of course, your purchase of the land from Naomi also requires that you marry Ruth, the Moabite widow. That way she can have children who will carry on her husband's name and keep the land in the family.”“Then I can't redeem it,” the family redeemer replied, “because this might endanger my own estate. You redeem the land; I cannot do it.”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. This way she can have a son to carry on the family name of her dead husband and to inherit the family property here in his hometown. You are all witnesses today.”Then the elders and all the people standing in the gate replied, “We are witnesses! May the Lord make this woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, from whom all the nation of Israel descended! May you prosper in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem. And may the Lord give you descendants by this young woman who will be like those of our ancestor Perez, the son of Tamar and Judah.”So Boaz took Ruth into his home, and she became his wife. When he slept with her, the Lord enabled her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son. Then the women of the town said to Naomi, “Praise the Lord, who has now provided a redeemer for your family! May this child be famous in Israel. May he restore your youth and care for you in your old age. For he is the son of your daughter-in-law who loves you and has been better to you than seven sons!”Naomi took the baby and cuddled him to her breast. And she cared for him as if he were her own. The neighbor women said, “Now at last Naomi has a son again!” And they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse and the grandfather of David.This is the genealogical record of their ancestor Perez:Perez was the father of Hezron.Hezron was the father of Ram.Ram was the father of Amminadab.Amminadab was the father of Nahshon.Nahshon was the father of Salmon.Salmon was the father of Boaz.Boaz was the father of Obed.Obed was the father of Jesse.Jesse was the father of David.

CITIZENS JANUARY 29 I RUTH 4 by Citizens Youth
For the past couple of weeks together, we have been studying the book of Ruth. Deemed Scripture's “chick flick,” it is a beautiful story of the providence of God and the faithfulness of his people. And this week, we have made it to everyone's favorite moment of the chick flick: When the sparks start to fly! As Ruth and Boaz meet and begin to form a connection, we get to watch as they build their relationship in a way that honors God and the other person. If you are someone right now that is dating, struggling with dating, or in a relationship that could use some work — this week is for you. Together, Pastor Lydia Miller will walk us through how to date well, love others intentionally, and honor God in the process. ---Want to learn more about Sunnybrook Community Church?

The Faithfulness Of God (Ruth 4) - December 22, 2024 by OrlandoGrace
Hope in a Bethlehem Baby | Ruth 4 | Jon Deedrick
v As we conclude the Book of Ruth, we celebrate with Naomi, Ruth and Boaz, the birth of a baby.o A child who would ultimately lead to the birth of THE baby who we celebrate today: Jesus! v Ruth 4:1-12o In this passage Boaz is “making good” on the promise he made to Ruth in chapter 3, “I will provide you a kinsmen Redeemer”.§ He's also “making good” on the faith that Naomi placed in him, as well, “He will do what is right and do it quickly”.· And he does it all with integrity and wisdom… never cutting corners that could ultimately lead to the loss of all he holds dear.v Ruth 4:13-22o This is a beautiful, yet odd scene, to some:§ Naomi is the center of this passage NOT Boaz and Ruth! Why?· Because this child Obed, would become her kinsmen Redeemer! And it would be through him that her of her husband and son's lineage survive!o Ah, but not just survive… THRIVE!v Isaiah 9:6-7o For unto to us a child is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and of peace, there will be no end. On the throne of David and over His kingdom, to establish it and uphold it with justice and righteousness from this time forth and forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. v No other book of the Bible begins so dark and hopeless than does the Book of Ruth.o And few books of the Bible end with more HOPE! Hope that would eventually come to all of us in the form of a babe, who would be named Jesus!Message: HOPE! Scripture: Ruth Chapter 4 Simple. Authentic. Jesus. Prairiebible.org
God works through sacrificial love and seemingly impossible circumstances to bring about redemption through a baby who is born in Bethlehem.
O Little Town of Bethlehem (Ruth 4:1-12)
As the book of Ruth nears its end, everything appears to be topsy-turvy. Boaz gets the girl, Naomi gets a son, a Moabitess is blessed by Israelites, and the nanny is cared for by the child. Despite the appearance of everything being upside-down and a bit backwards, the mercy, providence, and love of God is front and center. Join Nathan in this study of Ruth 4:11–17 and see how even topsy-turvy circumstances can lead us unto Christ Jesus.------------» Take these studies deeper and be discipled in person by Nathan, Eric, Leslie, and the team at Ellerslie in one of our upcoming discipleship programs – learn more at: https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/» Receive our free “Five Keys to Walking Through Difficulty” PDF by going to: https://ellerslie.com/subscribe/» For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/daily» If you have been blessed by Ellerslie, consider partnering with the ministry by donating at: https://ellerslie.com/donate/» Discover more Christ-centered teaching and resources from Nathan Johnson that will help you grow spiritually by checking out his website at: https://deeperchristian.com/
I. The LORD is faithful today. II. The LORD is faithful tomorrow. III. The LORD is faithful forever.
Throughout the book of Ruth, we encounter the concept of a “kinsman redeemer,” but few of us understand the importance and profundity of this redemption by a relative. In this message, Nathan explains the concepts of kinsman redeemer and the Levirite Marriage—showing how they help us understand Ruth 4:1–11 as well as point to our precious Savior, Jesus Christ—THE Kinsman Redeemer.------------» Take these studies deeper and be discipled in person by Nathan, Eric, Leslie, and the team at Ellerslie in one of our upcoming discipleship programs – learn more at: https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/» Receive our free “Five Keys to Walking Through Difficulty” PDF by going to: https://ellerslie.com/subscribe/» For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/daily» If you have been blessed by Ellerslie, consider partnering with the ministry by donating at: https://ellerslie.com/donate/» Discover more Christ-centered teaching and resources from Nathan Johnson that will help you grow spiritually by checking out his website at: https://deeperchristian.com/

Loneliness, grief, and feelings of worthlessness are so prevalent in the lives of so many. Those feelings, while very real, do not have to be the truths that guide our lives. In this beautiful message, Pastor Jeff Schreve reminds us of the true meaning of redemption and what the Lord has done for each person on earth because He loves and wants them to be with Him and blessed by Him. God thinks you are so valuable. So much so, that He gave His Son. Isn't that the truth you would rather live by?
