Moving forward in our exploration of becoming more Christ-like by growing in the Fruit of the Spirit, we come to the virtue of faithfulness. Our first thought about faithfulness is usually related to our faithfulness to God, and that is good. But God also calls us to faithfully carry out our relationships…

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

Introduction: The Bible is full of accounts involving difficulties in the lives of people. It is clear that after sin entered the world in Genesis 3 that life started getting much more difficult. Today we see tragedy after tragedy. This very week we saw a tragedy at Oxford High School in Michigan where…

The book of Ruth is a delight: a short, punchy story of faith and courage in the face of difficulty, rewarded with an amazing happily-ever-after ending. Who could want more? But what does it have to do with us? How could we learn from such a simple tale? Let's dig into the first chapter of Ruth to find just how similar the lives of the ancients were to ours, and how much we can learn from them.

In the days when the judges ruled... 1 In the days when the judges ruled there was a famine in the land, and a man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. 10 Years in Moab 5 and both Mahlon and Chilion died, so that the woman was left without her…

Lost in our Sorrow During the times in our lives when distress causes us to lose our way, God often places people in our lives to ensure we know He is continually there for us.

If it wasn’t for Ruth, Naomi’s story would have come to a tragic ending.  Ruth still shows us an important lesson about hope.

There are decisions that become defining moments in life. Those decisions that have negative outcomes can always be repented and returned from.

Life is full of difficult decisions. Naomi and Ruth had some really difficult decisions to make. Yet, by staying true to who they were, they were able to bring about blessings that no one could have imagined. I would have been difficult -- but without this story, we don't get David to become King, and we don't get Jesus to be born in Israel. Sometimes making the hardest decisions brings the biggest blessings.
