The Well: Sermon Audio

Naomi instructs Ruth to visit Boaz on the threshing room floor. Through their exchange, we witness the relationship between Ruth and Boaz flourish despite the brokenness surrounding them. Their meeting shows us the benefit of starting relationships biblically instead of pursuing relationships according to the ways of the world.

A beautiful story of redemption, chapter two of Ruth exemplifies Jesus Christ himself, the Redeemer, and the provision He offers us. Just as Naomi and Ruth find a kinsman redeemer in Boaz, who uses his strength to save these two women, we have been offered incredible kindness by a loving God, who can redeem us – and uses His strength to save all of mankind. We invite you to see Jesus as our glorious Boaz!

Throughout the Book of Ruth, one thing that is abundantly clear is the providence of God. From the beginning, we see that an important element of God's providence is the balance between His sovereignty and goodness.

Possibly one of the most overquoted yet under-lived passages in scripture, the Great Commission is the pinnacle of the bible in terms of what we as disciples are to do now. Jesus leaves us with clear instruction on two things that are not mere options, but imperative commands for each of his followers.

One of the most contested events in human history, the resurrection is critical because all of the world pivots on the person and work of Christ. Without a resurrection there is not an answer for the transforming work of the gospel in our lives today.
