Ruth Prepared to Meet Boaz There were other men who would gladly have married Ruth (v. 10), but they could not have redeemed her. Only a kinsman could do that, and Boaz was that kinsman. Since Naomi knew that Boaz would be using the threshing floor that night and staying there to guard his grain, she…

Ruth has proposed marriage to Boaz and he said yes. It appears that the maiden from Moab and the bachelor from Bethlehem are going to wed. However, a closer relative than Boaz has the first right of redemption and therefore can marry Ruth. Boaz is determined to settle the issue ASAP (cf. 3:18) and so the stage is set for our seeing “the rest of the story.” If nothing is impossible with God, how are we to proceed? What are we to do? How should we act? Chapter 4 provides 3 lessons we should learn.

God covers over us with his grace. The story of Boaz covering Ruth is an example of that covering.

Intro: My life after coming to Christ was not easy wanted to know when things would change. God remained faithful even when I didn’t trust. We’re in the fourth and final week of our series on Ruth.

In the third chapter of Ruth, Naomi hatches a scheme to ensure Ruth is cared for. Her scheme sounds bizarre to our ears, and even lewd to ancient Hebrew ears. Will God honour such a scheme? Will Ruth go through with it? Join us as Malcolm takes us through this extraordinary episode in one of the most famous love stories of all time.

Even though Ruth expresses a faith that is determined, she also receives a much-needed community of others who are faithful as well.

Naomi returned to her ancestral land with her Moabite daughter-in-law Ruth. Ruth had committed to love and care for the well-being…

If you recall from last week, we saw that Naomi was so excited that Ruth had “stumbled” upon Boaz’ field and that he was treater her so well. One of the reasons for this excitement was that he was a “close relative of ours, one of our redeemers” We are going to see the significance of that statement…

Introduction: Redemption is a word we don’t use quite as often in today’s world. When we think of the word redemption today, we probably think about coupons! As helpful as saving a few dollars here and there is, this use of the word redemption pales in comparison to the Biblical use of this great theological…

Not just any Grace… but God’s Amazing Grace... A.W Tozer said “Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines…

In Need of a Favor Often we believe we are entitled to our blessings. When hard times fall upon us, we may wallow in self pity, doubt, and not think of how we can get out of our circumstances. I can remember many times when those around me helped me out in times of trouble. There was one winter when…
