Series:  The Book of Ruth Passage: Ruth Ch. 4 May 31, 2026 www.clearcreekcoc.org

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.

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. He won't ignore our's either.

The story of Ruth finally comes full circle as Boaz redeems Ruth in marriage.  The story is not just about Boaz and Ruth, but also prepares us to see the way in which God prepares the way for King David as well as great David's greater Son.

Faith is essential because what may seem empty today may be part of God's greater redemption tomorrow. Join us as we study the story of Ruth in our ongoing journey through the Bible together.

In the final chapter of Ruth, we discover that God was working in the shadows the entire time. What began with Naomi's bitterness and loss turns into a story of redemption, legacy, and the powerful role women play in the genealogy that ultimately leads to Jesus.But the ending of Ruth isn't just about a family tree — it reveals a bigger story that changes everything.

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.

In this concluding message of Matthew 13, Pastor Karl unpacks the final three parables of Jesus — the Hidden Treasure, the Pearl of Great Price, and the Net — and challenges the common interpretations most of us have grown up hearing.Rather than reading these parables through a modern American lens, Pastor Karl takes us back into a first-century Jewish mindset to uncover what Jesus was really communicating. The treasure hidden in the field isn't something we purchase with our devotion — it's a picture of Jesus himself, who in joy gave everything to redeem his chosen people. The pearl of great price wasn't a treasure to the Jews at all, which is exactly the point: Jesus was revealing the shocking mystery that Gentiles — the unclean, the outsiders — would be included in the kingdom of God. And the parable of the net reminds us that not all roads lead to heaven, and that a day of separation is coming.Pastor Karl also draws a striking connection to the book of Ruth, showing how Boaz purchasing the field to gain Ruth as his bride foreshadowed what Jesus would do for his people — buying the field to possess the treasure within it.The message closes with one of the hardest passages for any pastor to preach at his own church: Jesus returning to his hometown, only to be met with familiarity and low expectation. The takeaway is pointed — low expectation limits reception. The messenger can be overlooked, but the message cannot: God chose to treasure you, not because of anything you offered, but because of the price his Son was willing to pay.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Do you ever feel like the plot of your life is just a pattern of "strange ink" without purpose? This week, we conclude our series "Redeeming Love" by seeing how God brings the messy story of Naomi and Ruth into focus. We discuss the ancient customs of the city gate, the "cost" of being a redeemer, and the genealogy that reveals this local story was always about the coming King. Just as bread returned to Bethlehem, we look to the Bread of Life who was born there to buy us back from sin and death.

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.

Find out why this other redeemer backed down when he learned about Ruth the Moabite, and how Boaz's sacrificial love made all the difference. This isn't just an ancient love story - it's a powerful picture of how Jesus redeems us today.

9th Message from Ruth Watch Our Sermons Online! Freedom Baptist - Facebook Freedom Baptist - YouTube Freedom Baptist - LinkedIn

The book of Ruth ends in a genealogy. A small family that was faithful had no idea how the Lord would work to bring the lineage of His Son through them. God has, is, and will continue to bring about His covenant promises by ordinary, not meaningless, ways. And by His steadfast love, we will walk faithfully in Christ who is our eternal hope.

8th Message from Ruth Watch Our Sermons Online! Freedom Baptist - Facebook Freedom Baptist - YouTube Freedom Baptist - LinkedIn

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.

Ruth is being redeemed by Boaz in a seal of public display. Redeemed people are claimed people. And from redemption comes an overflow of joy. Christians today are to rejoice in the joy of their salvation and share the hope they have received from their Redeemer to the world.

Pastor David shares from the story of Ruth about redemption - the problem, the price, the promise, and the person.

Even when we wander, God wants to call us back and bless us.

Redemption always costs something. It's not clean or easy. And for Boaz it looks like legal action. He has weighed the responsibility and is ready to redeem if the nearer kinsman redeemer refuses. This unknown redeemer, concerned with earthly inheritance, isn't willing to pay the cost. By grace, we have a Redeemer in Jesus Christ, who gave up His inheritance in heaven to come pay the cost of redemption for us with His own life.
