Paul Maughan concludes our Ruth series with chapter 4. In this final instalment we see redemption completed and the genealogy of David and ultimately Jesus revealed through Boaz and Ruth. Paul explores how losing our lives is the way we truly find them, how God makes a way, and how ordinary people can see the kingdom come in extraordinary ways.

Jessica Carolissen continues week 4 of our Ruth series, exploring Ruth 3:1–18 and The Redeemer's Promise. Naomi sets a bold plan in motion, Ruth responds with risky obedience, and Boaz reveals the redeemer's response. Though Ruth does not yet have the wedding, land, or heir, she is upheld by Boaz's word, provision, and character. This points us to Jesus, our greater Redeemer, who fulfils God's radical plan, bears the cost of redemption, and secures our eternal hope.

Sheldon Moultrie continues week 3 of our Ruth series, unpacking Ruth 2:1-23. We follow Ruth as she steps into the unknown, meets the generous Boaz, and sees God's kindness and providence at work. This encounter brings provision for the present and hope for the future, pointing us to the ultimate Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
We often define our lives by the big important moments. But most of our lives consist of ordinary and consistent daily decisions. They may not feel significant, but ultimately end up changing everything. In our new series, The Book of Ruth, we'll discover the hidden beauty of life's ordinary moments, and how obedience leads to blessing.

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Every year during the festival of Weeks, the time more commonly known as Pentecost, the people of God would read the little book of Ruth. Annually they would take this short story from their past and listen to it again as it spoke into the current realities they were facing as well as the unknown, unseen possibilities of the future. Starting Sunday, we will walk in the fullness of Pentecost, reflecting on the story of Naomi and Ruth and what their Spirit-inspired story reveals to us about yesterday, today, tomorrow, and overmorrow. Most likely, you're well-acquainted with the first three time orientations, but that fourth might be new. Always a fan of a nuanced word, I stumbled across the Old English word while praying about this series. Overmorrow, in its simplest definition, is the day after tomorrow. Why did we ever stop saying it!? That little word lit my brain on fire! As I read and reread Ruth, I watched these four time stamps come alive. I found my soul kindled by the bright fire of overmorrow, illuminating hope beyond the horizon of tomorrow. But we only arrive at overmorrow by walking through yesterday, today, and tomorrow. We all, like Naomi and Ruth, have painful stories in our past. Our yesterday's tragedies can easily swallow up any hope we might have for the future. Ruth 1 does not shy away from the lamentable story of yesterday. It lays the weight of the past heavily on our shoulders with all its grief and tragedy. But it does not leave us there. Before we arrive at today, there is a glimpse, a glimmer…a hope of overmorrow.
A Sunday morning sermon by Peter DuMont. Gregory Wagenfuhr, member of the ECO Standing Theology Committee, has spoken of time as a difficult thing to live within. In his telling, we are continually ground between two stones: between processing and making sense of the past, and anticipating and planning for the future. Our task as humans is to live between the weight of past experience and the looming shapes and questions of the future. In this pressure-packed space, it can be very easy to become paralyzed, overwhelmed, discouraged, distracted, or addicted. In the process, we can find ourselves losing our sense of agency, power, and freedom, the things that make us human! We lose our sense of being alive and empowered within our present moment, our “today.” Into this dilemma, the reign of God the Father, the victory of Jesus, and the filling of the Holy Spirit function together to bring liberty from our captivity and enable us to live powerfully within each successive present moment of our lives. Ruth is an example of someone who triumphs through this vitality and trusting action within her present. She experiences deep loss and dislocation, yet she ultimately encounters the greatness of God's purposes as she acts decisively within her present moment—God's actions meeting her actions! May we move toward worship this Sunday preparing our hearts to encounter the Lord of Life who has worked, is working, and will work to give us freedom to be and become who we are made and called to be—one “today” at a time!
A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. I think Mark Twain was right when he said, “Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” The little book of Ruth is driven by kindness. Amid famine, decimation, and loss, the whisper of kindness soothes deafened ears. In the clashing cymbals of time, when the cacophony of anxiety and worry flood our vision, kindness reveals the movement of God's invisible hand. To paraphrase Nietzsche, an enduring kindness in the same direction is transformative. Where Naomi was left embittered by past pain, kindness led her into renewed freedom for today. Where Ruth, a young widow was left caring for her devastated mother-in-law, kindness led her into a renewed assurance for the future. Where we have been is not permanent. It's where we are, but it doesn't have to be where our story ends. Kindness, born from the love of God into our lives and relationships, transforms our doubt and despair into renewed hope for eternity. This week, be inspired by the kindness that transformed Naomi's life. In the first chapter she was blinded by her loss, unable to escape the shroud of bitterness that consumed her past. In the second chapter, she was semi-conscious as Ruth went out to provide for them in their present poverty. But in the third chapter, Naomi was the one looking to the future. Kindness rekindled the fire in her eyes. Transformed by kindness, Naomi told Ruth, “Wash, put on perfume, get dressed in your best clothes and go” (Ruth 3.3-4a). Naomi was inspired to hope again by the enduring kindness of those around her. May the same be said of us.
A Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. I once found myself in conversation with a futurist. He'd published several books and was well-known for his study of the future and his predictions on where things were headed. At times it was as if he was looking past the curve of the earth and seeing what tomorrow was bringing. When I asked him how he went about making his predictions for the future, his response was just as surprising. He said the best way to predict what will happen tomorrow is to be fully present today. What a short answer but such a tall order. As we've been reading the book of Ruth, we've seen Naomi overcome by the suffering of yesterday, overwhelmed with the difficulties of today, and full of anxieties for tomorrow. It would be easy to predict a tragic ending if this was the sum and substance of the book! But all of that is outweighed by the actions of two people. Ruth's friendship and Boaz' covenant obedience foreshadow the hope of chapter four. If we've read each chapter well, the kindness of God, poured out through Ruth and Boaz into the life of Naomi, tells us where the story's going. Friends, being present today in Christ, we know what the future holds, we can see where our story's headed. In Jesus, the hope of overmorrow colors every day and every dawning. In Jesus, eternal hope is written on every page and every paragraph of our lives. We feel this hope in the Holy Spirit's invitation to unpack our past. We see it in the fellowship of our brothers and sisters in Christ. We perceive it in the empowering move of the Spirit calling us to deeper faith, to greater trust. Knowing the kindness of God, we are giving new space to surrender our anxieties, bringing our prayers and petitions to the Father with hopeful confidence, as the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guards our hearts our minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4.6-7). Today, be present in someone else's life. Share with them the hope of overmorrow, your hope for eternity.
