Welcome back to week three of our online study of the book of Ruth. As we peel back the layers of the narrative, it is amazing how many stories we find there and also how many lessons apply to us today. Keep an eye out as you study for the following threads.
1) This is the story of Naomi – moving from a life of emptiness in Moab to a life of fulfillment in Bethlehem, Judah.
2) It is also the story of Ruth’s compassion and loyalty to her mother-in-law – and her willingness to give up a familiar life for the unknown.
3) It is the story of minute details – we see God involved in the seemingly small events of our characters’ lives.
4) It is also a BIG story – of God manipulating history as He hand-picked the ancestors of King David and Jesus Christ, Messiah!
