Pastor Brian Watson preaches the conclusion to our study of the book of Ruth. Boaz marries Ruth and they have a child, who is to Naomi a redeemer and a restorer of life. This story indicates how God will restore his creation through Jesus. It reminds us of the story of Christmas.
Ruth
Redemption (Ruth 3)
Pastor Brian Watson talks about redemption in the third chapter of the book of Ruth, in the Bible, and in our lives. What would you like restored in your life? What would like to be bought back? The story of Ruth is a story of redemption, and it points to the larger story of redemption in the whole Bible, a story of how God is restoring a broken world, “purchasing” people for himself through Jesus.
Favor, Providence, and Kindness (Ruth 2)
Pastor Brian Watson preaches a message on Ruth 2. He focuses on three words that sum up what God is doing in this chapter: favor, providence, and kindness. He also shows how Christianity accounts for why we should be generous and kind to one another, and how a competing worldview (naturalism) does not.
From Fullness to Emptiness (Ruth 1)
Pastor Brian Watson preaches a message based on Ruth 1. The Bible is very honest about the dark side of life. In the Bible, people wrestle with God during these times. But even in the middle of darkness, there are signs of God’s kindness.
