What is God's role in redemption? And what is it like for us to be faithful? Listen to Marla's message as she unpacks the parallel between Boaz and Jesus as well as Ruth/Naomi and us. This message concludes our Ruth series.
Is there an area of your life where you're saying, “My God is King,” and yet you're doing what's right in your own eyes? Is there some area of your life where you're claiming, yes, “I am a follower of Jesus,” and yet you're following your own truth and not His truth? To get to where God wants you to be, you have to walk away from a place that is not His will.
Music, Creativity & Justice with Ruth Naomi FloydHow should we think about work within, and live faithfully within a world that was called and created to be good and beautiful, and yet everywhere is marred by ugliness and injustice? Jazz vocalist and composer Ruth Naomi Floyd joins our podcast to discuss the intersection of music, creativity, and justice, and to help us think deeply about our role in repairing, re-envisioning, and creating new places of beauty, justice, and flourishing:We know that art shapes and reshapes us and that it's there in the cross of Jesus, I believe, where beauty and violence collided and beauty won. And so that act of loving someone…purposely trying to love someone, especially those that seem or are viewed or deemed unlovable, is…directly connected and intrinsically connected to our art making.We hope you enjoy and are encouraged by Floyd's artistic journey, how she finds beauty in the midst of suffering, and her vision for the role of love in creativity.This podcast is an edited version of an online conversation recorded in 2021.

In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb takes a close look at a couple interesting claims, namely, that both Ruth & Naomi were gay and so, too, were David and Jonathan. In particular, he looks at an article recently published in a local magazine that was written by a Religion Professor. Along the way, he discusses the professor's claims about the Genesis account, too. Ever heard these arguments? Ever wondered how to deal with them? Tune in and find out, as Dr. Halcomb zeroes on in the "Fallacy of the Week." #fallacy #fallacies #logicalfallacy #ruth #naomi #bookofruth #kingdavid #david #jonathan #gay #homosexuality #bible fallacy, fallacies, logical fallacy, ruth, naomi, book of ruth, king david, david, jonathan, gay, homosexuality, bible --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/glossahouse/message

Naomi and Ruth are fascinating women. They were two widows on a journey, clinging to one another. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they took care of each other. They loved and respected each other. Ruth adored her mother-in-law so much, she left everything behind to follow her to her hometown and live among her people. The townspeople were so impressed by her that they watched out for her, especially Boaz... This is a story of sorrow and redemption, resilience and hope, and even romance! We see how God provides and is in the details of our story. Even when we don't know where His Light is going to come in, He is there all along and is weaving our story. Trust Him.

Sunday, July 3, 2022 - As children of God who have been bought back by the Blood of Jesus, we bear the image of God, our Father. Some would say, we are a “chip off the ol' block.” The faithfulness, loyalty, and loving nature of God, becomes our nature, too. We see this powerful demonstration of love, loyalty, faithfulness, and sacrifice as we walk with Ruth & Naomi in our passage. It is the witness that when we are loyal and loving in our relationships, we are imitating God's faithfulness, too.

Every human being is a creator, whether they're creating a beautiful work of art or cultivating kindness in someone's life. That's what jazz vocalist and composer Ruth Naomi Floyd has found to be true. Ruth shares all the ways she sees God creating beauty in our lives, even in the darkest of places, and how we can find it when we just allow ourselves to look. Quotes “God is the first and greatest artist. He created out of nothing. And every single human being is made in His image. We are a reflection of His beauty. We are made in His image.'” —Ruth Naomi Floyd “Every human being is worthy of dignity as image bearers of God.” —Ruth Naomi Floyd “Every human being is a creative. Acts of kindness are creative. Inviting a stranger to your table to feast upon food you have made with your own hands is a powerful and creative act. It's in that artistic giving and receiving that is important.” —Ruth Naomi Floyd “The Jesus Storybook Bible says that every story whispers His name. All of the beauty of the world whispers His name too.” —Ruth Naomi Floyd Ruth's LinksRuth's website Ruth's Facebook Ruth's Instagram Ruth's Twitter Resources Mentioned in This Episode Frederick Douglass Connect with Sally Lloyd-JonesJesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*
I'm going to start out strong here and drop a favorite quote on you guys. Anita Krizzan once said, “God shines through the cracks of broken people.” I can't tell you how much I love this. Have you ever noticed that the best people in your life are the ones who don't have it all together? Perfection is a nice goal, I suppose, but even the thought of it wears me out. It isn't realistic. And to be very honest, it isn't relatable. My favorite people, the very BEST people I have come across in my life are the broken ones. The broken hearts and weary souls who know what it is to hurt and to fear and to struggle. These are my people. The ones I can sit down with and pour out my own flawed self to. There is no judgment in that place. There is safety and comfort in conversations between imperfect hearts who just need to feel like they aren't alone. And in those precious honest moments God opens an opportunity for us to shine our lights for Him. Isn't that amazing? God uses the struggle and the history of our lives to give us the very testimonies we can take out and share. Though the Bible is full of stories of brokenness, there is one that always comes to mind… story of Ruth. To be honest, the story is equally as compelling for Naomi, Ruth's mother-in-law because they are both redeemed so beautifully. As a refresher, I'll read the first chapter of Ruth to provide some context…. Now, because the book of Ruth is only four chapters total, I'll stop here to commentate and fill in the rest. This story is sad right out of the gate. Naomi and her family left their homeland to seek refuge from a famine. They left everything behind…home, family, friends, and even land because they were starving. Shortly after they arrive, Naomi's husband, Elimelech, dies. Can you imagine how devastated you'd be? To leave behind all you know, but at least you're with your family. And then your husband dies. The only comfort Naomi had left were her two sons. They each married and time goes on for ten years. We don't know what transpired in this time, but we can assume that Naomi did not have any grandchildren yet, as none were mentioned. We can also assume that her daughters-in-law were likely in their mid 20's when her sons, Mahlon and Kilion died. (Remember, women were married at young ages in that day). Naomi has no blood family left. She is left in a foreign land with no protection and likely no source of income. She is also responsible for the welfare of her young daughters-in-law. She does what she feels is the most kind thing and tries to release them of their familial duties to go back to their homes with their own families. Bereft and broken. Bitter, in her own words. Naomi has nothing left. Flipping perspectives, we see Ruth. A young widow. She has no children and seemingly no hope of a future. Even in the midst of her own brokenness, though, she loves Naomi. She clings to her and refuses to leave her. Ruth is broken, but she surrenders her life and her future to the God Naomi follows. Vowing “your God is my God…” and “where you go, I go”. I find such beauty in this broken place. See, brokenness, in its purest form, leads to surrender. Even if she didn't know it at the time, Ruth's posture of surrender was preparing her for a future she could never have imagined for herself. Brokenness is a powerful tool. It is where strength is found and character is forged and relationships are formed. It is also where we meet surrender. Surrender to God and His purposes for it all. She gave it to Him, and He blessed her. And that is just what God will do with whatever brokenness you are carrying. He will bless your story at the moment of surrender… So today, I want to encourage you. Don't feel the need to be perfect, sweet friends, your beauty is in your brokenness. And don't hold on where you need to surrender…He is waiting on you, today. Embrace the unique cracks that are yours and shine His light through them.

It's probably safe to say that we've all experienced “the blues” at different times in our lives. But as Christians, how are we supposed to walk through those seasons of sadness, discouragement, or worse? Our guest for this episode, jazz singer Ruth Naomi Floyd, shares both the practical and the artistic ways we can find beauty in the midst of despair. About our guest: As a vocalist and composer, Ruth Naomi Floyd has been at the forefront of creating vocal jazz settings that express theology and justice for over 25 years. Also a committed music educator, Ms. Floyd is Director of Jazz Studies at Cairn University in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, and an Adjunct and Artist in Residence at Temple University. Before that, Ms. Floyd taught music for 20 years at The City School. In addition to her musical talent, Ruth Naomi is also an award-winning fine art photographer specializing in black and white portrait images. She continues to make the city of Philadelphia her home, where for over 25 years she has been devoted and active in providing compassionate care and spiritual support to people infected and affected by HIV and AIDS. Notes and Quotes: “We don't get where we are without those before us and surrounding us pushing us onward.” “There is beauty in the midst of darkness. There is light.” “In the beginning of Genesis 1:1, God presents Himself as an artist: ‘God created.'” “Jesus is the greatest blues singer.” “What kind of God can I not believe in? For me, I cannot believe in a God that hasn't suffered.” “Sometimes continually showing up is activism.” “Each generation has a responsibility to take what's best from the generations that preceded them and to build on it.” “On her way back to her cabin [after being dehumanized], she would search for beauty.” “Lean on our biblical sisters, and in each example we can find a way to reflect light.” “Sometimes, really, a radical act is committing to pray, committing to lament . . . remembering your sisters.” “It starts inward. So if we as sisters would value each other, if we would see beauty, if we would empower the kind words, if the world could see Christian women come together and be united and speaking over them with truth and love, they [the world] would be knocking our church doors down.” Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: Show Notes on godhearsher.org God Hears Her website: https://www.godhearsher.org/ Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Order God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women on Amazon. https://amzn.to/32lYSgh Ruth's website: https://ruthnaomifloyd.com Elisa's Instagram: elisamorganauthor Eryn's Instagram: eryneddy

With all the genocide being perpetuated by those in power in Israel, I would like to tell the story of Ruth & Naomi, a Jewish woman & an Arab woman who shared a deep karmic connection, giving us a message of unity we need so much today. Their story is mixed in with the Holiday called Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks, Feast of The First Fruits, or Feast of the Giving of the Law; a spring festival that celebrates the grain harvest, & the ripening of the first fruits, as well as the anniversary of the giving of the Torah. https://reverseritual.com/ruth-naomi/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hazel-archer-ginsberg/message

Ruth Naomi Floyd explores how the blues were birthed from the African American Spirituals, which is the root of American music. This body of music is deeply Christian in its pursuit of justice, and its lament is the ache for human dignity and belonging. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Love is defined in a biblical manner in 1 Corinthians 13:1-8. There are four types/levels of love: eros, storge, philia, and agape. In Matthew 27:45-54 Jesus displayed agape (self-less) love by dying on the cross for us to be reconciled with God, the Father. Jesus and God, the Father are the same person in John 10:30. There are various demostrations of love throughout the Bible:Gen 18:23-33 Abraham intercedes on Sodom and Gomarrah's behalf for the Most High to not destroy the two citiesGen 29:18-28 Jacob served another seven years to marry Rachel (eros/physical attraction love)Gen 45: 1-15 Joseph revealed himself to his brothers, who had sold him into slavery, and made a plan to preserve the Israelites.1 Samuel 20:11-24 Jonathan makes a covenant with David to protect him from his father Saul. Jonathan loved David as his own soul.Ester 4:16-17, 5:1-2, 7:1-10 Before appearing unannounced in the King's court to petition on behalf of Israel, Ester prayed and fasted for three days.Ruth 1: 16-22 Ruth (Naomi's daughter in law) decides to remain with Naomi and follow the Most High until death.

1. Ruth -Naomi's- proposal--2. Boaz's integrity--3. God's rest
Study Notes Ed Underwood Ruth Faithfulness in an Unfaithful World “Your people will become my people, and your God will become my God.” (Ruth 1:16) Ruth is a vignette of love, devotion and redemption set in the historical context of the darkest period in Israel’s history, the days of the judges. Part of the second major unit within the seventeen Historical Books, the Conquest or Pre-Kingdom Period, it’s a heartwarming story of compassion, devotion, and faithfulness. Ruth is a Moabite widow who leaves her homeland to live with and care for her widowed Jewish mother- in-law, Naomi, in Bethlehem. Ruth not only embraces Naomi’s people but her God. The contrast to Judges underscores the remarkable faithfulness of Ruth and Boaz. Ruth is a woman who lives above the norm of her day. A virtuous woman (3:11), Ruth shows loyal-love to both her mother-in- law Naomi and her near-kinsman Boaz. In a time when all of Israel is forsaking God for idols, Ruth forsakes her idols for the true God: Faithful, righteous, moral, pure Following and worshiping the true God Compassion, devotion, loyalty—blessing Love in Marriage Peace, Provision, Kindness, Justice, Obedient faith leads to blessing Spiritual light. Unfaithful, immoral, impure Idolatry—following and worshiping false gods Debasement, disloyalty, self-centered—discipline Lust in Life War, Famine Cruelty, Injustice Disobedience leads to sorrow Spiritual darkness Ruth is one of the most important “bridge” books in the Old Testament. Chronologically—Ruth advances the genealogy of King David. Historically—Ruth links ruined Israel (Judges) with restored Israel (Samuel). Doctrinally—Ruth illustrates redemption. Morally—Ruth demonstrates purity is possible even in a polluted moral environment. The theme of Ruth is God’s care for those who trust in Him. The story illustrates the truth of Hebrews 11:6: Now without faith it is impossible to please him, for the one who approaches God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him: Ruth is the most surprising book in the Old Testament. God honors a Moabitess’s faith by guiding her to the field of Boaz (a near kinsman or guardian) where she gathers grain and eventually finds her loving husband. The book closes with a brief genealogy in which Boaz’s name is prominent as the great- grandfather of King David, through whom would come the Christ! I. FAITH, COMPASSION, AND LOVE DEMONSTRATED: The story begins with a famine in Israel, a sign of disobedience and apostasy (Deuteronomy 28-30). An Israelite family headed by Elimelech flees from Bethlehem to Moab to find relief. In Moab the family faces tragedy and death as Ruth believes in their God (1-2). A. RUTH’S RELOCATION: Ruth decides to cling to Naomi and her God as she follows her mother- in-law home to care for her (1). What’s in a name? The characters’ names foreshadow the action of the book of Ruth: Naomi—pleasant one; Elimelech—my God is king; Mahlon—sick; Chilion—pining; Orpah—stubbornness; Mara— bitterness; Ruth—friendship; Boaz—in him is strength. Ruth: Never underestimate what God can do with one faithful life! B. RUTH’S MEETS HER COMPASSIONATE REDEEMER: God’s provident care brings Ruth to the field of Boaz to perform the humiliating and dangerous task of gleaning. Boaz, Naomi’s kinsman (guardian), begins to love, protect, and provide for Ruth (2). II. FAITH AND COMPASSION REWARDED: God rewards Ruth’s faith and devotion. Boaz redeems her and becomes her husband. Their son, Obed, is the grandfather of King David (3-4). Messiah: A Type Of Christ—Boaz. The concept of the Kinsman-Redeemer or goel (3:9, close relative, guardian) is an important picture of the work of Christ on the Cross. The goel must (1) be related by blood to those he redeems (Deuteronomy 25:5, 7-10; John 1:14; Romans 1:3; Philippians 2:5-8; Hebrews 2:14- 15): (2) be able to pay the price of redemption (2:1; 1 Peter 1:18-19); (3) be willing to redeem (3:11; Matthew 20:28; John 10:15, 18; Hebrews 10:7); and (4) be free himself (only Christ was free from the curse of sin). The word goel, used thirteen times in this short books presents a clear portrayal of the mediating work of Christ. RUTH’S RENDEZVOUS: Ruth risks offering herself to Boaz by “uncovering his legs” (v 4, probably a symbolic marriage proposal). Boaz takes no further steps toward marriage because he is older than Ruth (probably more than 20 years) and he is not the nearest kinsman (3). RUTH’S REDEMPTION: In spite of these obstacles, God rewards Ruth’s devotion by giving her a husband, a son, and a place in the line of the coming Messiah. In 22 verses Ruth moves from widowhood and poverty to marriage and wealth. What a picture of redemption! (4) III. God is looking for those who have the faith He can use in this world! The poor, the needy, and the alien have an ally in God! Both Ruth and Boaz “stumbled” into God’s blessing by caring for the poor and needy—Ruth for Naomi and Boaz for Ruth. “The theological message of the Book of Ruth may be summarized as follows: God cares for needy people like Naomi and Ruth; he is their ally in this chaotic world. He richly rewards people like Ruth and Boaz who demonstrate sacrificial love and in so doing become his instruments in helping the needy. God’s rewards for those who sacrificially love others sometimes exceed their wildest imagination and transcend their lifetime.” (The NET Bible note on Ruth 4:22) How does your attitude toward the poor, the needy, and the alien compare to the attitudes of Ruth and Boaz? What is one specific way you can join God in His love and care for the needy, the poor, the alien, and the down and out? May we suggest getting involved with the care ministries of Church of the Open Door? http://www.churchoftheopendoor .com/ministries/serving-our-communities/index.html God is always doing something through His remnant! Twenty-three of the 89 verses of Ruth mention God. Even during the most painful and chaotic circumstances of life God is working behind the scenes to accomplish His will. And He’s working through those who have faith rather than those who have a religious pedigree. One godly man or woman can redeem an entire family! Regardless of your home of origin, your faithless spouse, or your chaotic circumstances at work, God will use your faithfulness to change your world! What is He asking you to trust Him for right now? Risk obedience even when you can’t connect the dots between your faithfulness and the difference it will make in this world.

Naomi, like all of us, is a mixed bag--some good, some bad. However, as we journey through her early narrative, we see the effects of enemy hate and how that takes its toll on her as a person. We also then examine our hearts to see what enemies we have and end with some practical steps to love them. Text: Ruth 1.6--22 Teacher: Eric Williams

Pastor Glenn continues the Legends and Misfits series with an exploration of the book of Ruth. Ruth is a story about loyalty. It's ultimately about how God remains loyal to us even when we feel like He has turned His back on us. But it is also about how, through our loyalty to others, we can let people know that God has not walked out on them.
