Our great God takes our brokenness, our poor decisions, our painful circumstances, and our sin, and somehow uses all those things to bring about His good and glorious plan.  He is bringing light out of darkness, joy out of sorrow, and life out of death.  This is the sure and certain hope we encounter in the book of Ruth.

In this introduction to the book of Ruth, we look at some of the details about its setting and history and how even those elements tell us much about God and His love for us.  Chris McLaughlin teaches in this introductory session.

The story begins by introducing us to a family from Bethlehem and the decision they make to leave their home.  Justin P'Pool and Rachael Reese teach the opening verses of chapter 1.

 Ruth and Orpah are faced with a critical decision when Naomi urges them to return home.  Pastor Mike McBride teaches the end of chapter 1.

Hope begins to rise as Ruth meets a worthy and wealthy man who has a connection to Naomi.  This week, Nick Stoner and April P'Pool teach this introduction to Boaz the Redeemer.

Ruth returns home to give Naomi a report after her incredibly fruitful first day of gleaning.

On Naomi's advice, Ruth takes action to seek redemption.  This week, Justin P'Pool and Rachael Reese teach chapter 3 where Ruth and Boaz meet on the threshing floor.

Boaz seeks to redeem Ruth and Naomi, but there is another redeemer who is closer than he.  This week, Pastor Mike McBride walks us through the climax of the book of Ruth.

The book of Ruth ends with joyful ending after joyful ending!  This week, Logan Reese and April P'Pool teach our final sessions.
