Podcasts about Ruth 4

The reward- God's grace and love are truly without bounds. Ruth and Boaz were blessed with a son named Obed. Not only did they receive the gift of a child, but that child became part of the Messianic line, and the grandfather of king David.

A redemption story- Ruth could do nothing in her own effort to earn or deserve the grace that Boaz showed her. Boaz paid the required price of redemption to receive Ruth as his wife. Ruth and Boaz give us one of the clearest pictures of the gospel in the Old Testament.

“A Redeemer must be willing and able to redeem regardless of the cost and regardless of our estate.” —Rodney C. Brown Jr. Boaz moves from the threshing floor to the city gate. He gathers ten elders as witnesses and confronts the nearer kinsman about the right of redemption for Naomi's land and for Ruth. When the closer relative refuses once the full cost is revealed, Boaz publicly purchases both the inheritance and the Moabitess widow. Three movements structure the passage: • Witness to Redemption • Right of Redemption • Rejoice in Redemption The legal transaction at the gate displays God's smiling providence. A true redeemer does not calculate personal advantage; he is both willing and able to pay whatever price is required so that the name of the dead is not cut off and the vulnerable are secured.

A sermon from Ruth 4 preached on August 9, 2026, by Gus Pritchard.

The book of Ruth ends with a wedding, a baby, and a family restored. But the book's greatest surprise comes in its final verses, where God reveals that this ordinary family's story is part of his extraordinary plan to bring the King—and the Saviour—the world desperately needs.

08 Ruth 4; 1 Samuel 1; 19 Psalms 79; 2 Corinthians 5-6

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.

In this message from August 2nd, 2026, Guest Speaker Jeff Borton opends up Ruth 4:2-6. Speaker: Jeff Borton

Sometimes life seems so cold. But don't give up on God; for in the case of the righteous, better days are coming. God is the all seeing eye, and is everywhere all the time; knowing everything all the time; and has the power to do anything; all the time. When Noami thought that she had lost it all she never waivered in her character causing her daughter in law Ruth to decree that she would never leave her, because she too, being of a different nationality, believed in her mother in law's God; our God. God allowed Ruth to marry into the lineage and give birth in the lineage to Obed the father of David in which Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, in the natural, was born. How amazing, God did not ignore Naomi's loyalty and faithfulness to Him.

The God of Great ReversalsRuth 4Teacher: Pastor Tommy BaileyDate: July 26, 2026Is history going somewhere, or is it just moving along like a boat without a rudder? Most of us never say the question out loud, but it surfaces when life turns out differently than we hoped. It surfaces when suffering becomes personal. The book of Ruth arrives in the days when the judges ruled, a time of corruption and injustice when there was no king in the land and everyone did what was right in their own eyes. It also arrives at a time of great loss for a family far from home in Moab. The entire book of Ruth responds to that question with a costly redemption at the city gate and a baby born in Bethlehem.Join Pastor Tommy as we finish our four-week series in Ruth and consider the God of great reversals. Boaz binds himself to a family that had lost nearly everything, at a cost the law never required him to pay. Naomi, who came home empty and asked to be called bitter, is now holding a precious grandson. Ruth, who had carried the name of an enemy nation like a scarlet letter, is honored and blessed as member of the family. This is God's specialty, and what happens in that little town is only a shadow of the greater reversal it points to in Jesus.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/.

13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her. And the Lord enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. 14 Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed is the Lord who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel. 15 May he also be to you a restorer of life and a sustainer of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.” The Line of David Began Here 16 Then Naomi took the child and laid him in her lap, and became his nurse. 17 The neighbor women gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi!” So they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David. 18 Now these are the generations of Perez: to Perez was born Hezron, 19 and to Hezron was born Ram, and to Ram, Amminadab, 20 and to Amminadab was born Nahshon, and to Nahshon, Salmon, 21 and to Salmon was born Boaz, and to Boaz, Obed, 22 and to Obed was born Jesse, and to Jesse, David. (NASB 1995)

The legacy of love (Ruth 4:13-22) - David Montgomery by Christ City Church Dublin

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.

In this episode of Pray the Word on Ruth 4:13–17, David Platt reflects on God's faithful plan to bring people from every nation into Christ's family.Explore more content from Radical.

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.

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading brings us to Ruth 4 one final time, and after walking through this book again and again, the message is clear: God is always writing a bigger story than we can see. Ruth begins with famine, grief, death, bitterness, and loss—but it ends with redemption, legacy, Bethlehem, David, and the fingerprints of Jesus all over the page.Ruth simply kept taking the next faithful step. She clung to Naomi, showed up in the field, obeyed with humility, and trusted the redeemer's work. Naomi thought she was bringing loss back to Bethlehem, but God was bringing lineage. That is the power of redemption: God does not leave us where He found us. He takes ordinary obedience, broken seasons, and one step of faith at a time, and weaves a story far bigger than we could ever imagine.

08 Ruth 4; 1 Samuel 1; 19 Psalms 79; 2 Corinthians 5-6

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading brings us back to Ruth 4, where the whole story of emptiness, loss, loyalty, and providence comes rushing into one word: redeemed. Boaz goes to the gate, settles the matter publicly, and takes Ruth as his wife so that the name of the dead would not be forgotten. What looked like a family line ending in grief becomes a story God keeps alive through the work of a redeemer.Ruth the Moabite is no longer just the outsider with a painful label; she is blessed like Rachel and Leah, welcomed into the story of Israel, and placed in the line that leads to David—and ultimately to Christ. Naomi, who began the book bitter and empty, ends it with a baby in her lap and joy in her hands. That is what redemption does: it restores names, fills empty places, and turns broken stories into gospel testimonies.

Ruth 4; 1 Samuel 1; 1 Corinthians 16; 2 Corinthians 1

Ruth, "Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people and your God, my God.”

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereIn Book of Ruth chapter 4, the story of redemption reaches its climax. A nearer redeemer steps forward—but ultimately cannot redeem. The law exposes the need, but it cannot fulfill it. Then Boaz steps in, willing to pay the price, willing to take the cost, and willing to redeem—not out of obligation, but out of love.This chapter points straight to Christ. What the law could not do, Jesus did. He didn't just have the power to redeem—He had the willingness. And it cost Him everything. The same God who redeemed Ruth is still redeeming today, writing stories far bigger than we can see. The question is not whether He is able—but whether you will trust the One who paid the price for you.

A quiet exchange at the city gate becomes something much bigger than it seems. In Ruth 4, Boaz steps in as redeemer—covering what Ruth cannot, restoring what was lost, and securing a future she couldn't create on her own. It's more than a moment… it's a glimpse of a greater story, pointing to Jesus, our true Redeemer. What happens when you trust the One who steps in on your behalf? And what happens when you SEIZE the moment that God is calling you into? ▶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.
