9.22.24 Ruth and Redemption: Beyond a Blessing

While the book of Ruth highlights bright themes like faithfulness and redemption, it does so in stark contrast to the dark vulnerability of two of its main characters. Two widows, one who is a foreigner from a hostile nation, find themselves alone, without support and without much hope for the future. Though God set up systems in the Law to provide for the most vulnerable, is that really enough? Join us this Sunday as we look at Ruth 2, and what it means when God’s people go beyond what is expected to care for those in need.
