Join us as Brian wraps up our Gospel of Ruth Series.
In this final week of the Ruth series we see that the family was blessed by God through the birth of a son called Obed who would become the grandfather of King David. Brian unpacks how the original ancient near eastern audience would have understood the story and what it taught them about Yahweh. He then explores how the story of Ruth, Naomi and Boaz fits within the larger context of Israel’s story and God’s ultimate redemptive plan for all humanity.

How do we include God in our decision making? The story, characters and Jewish traditions in the book of Ruth give us some great practical examples and Godly truths we can apply to our lives when we are faced with making major decisions.

Join us as Liz takes us through the beatitudes and talks a bit about our bless our community initiative.
What does it really mean to be blessed and to bless others? Frequently people consider those who are blessed as the ones who have everything going well in life. In Matthew 5, Jesus challenges the perception of what it really means to be blessed!

Join us as David takes us through the next chapter in our series exploring the book of Ruth.
One day can make a massive difference in our lives. Ruth was gleaning in a field one particular day and she met Boaz, the owner of the field. He proceeded to bless her abundantly in a variety of ways. Ruth, the grace receiver, became the grace giver resulting in bitter Naomi becoming beautiful, joy filled Naomi. This day certainly finished way different to the start. It is amazing what God does when people live out the Scriptural theme; blessed to be a blessing. The kingdom impact is awesome. May we all live out the blessing and grace of God on our lives.

Join us as Liz takes us through the next chapter in our new series exploring the book of Ruth.
Sometimes our dreams can be shattered. We can lose a husband or wife, a child or someone we loved. We can struggle with sickness or a job might not turn out as we hoped. Ruth and Naomi had their dreams shattered with the loss of their husbands and ended up in financial troubles. They decided to move back to Bethlehem to try to start over. In the Old Testament, God had a welfare system for the poor that enabled them to go and glean in the field to get food. While Naomi struggled with bitterness Ruth decided to glean for food for her and her mother in law. Ruth happened to end up in the field of Boaz a relative of Naomi. Boaz demonstrated God’s heart to provide and protect the vulnerable and we start to see a whole new beginning for Ruth and Naomi. No matter what we have gone through, new beginnings are always possible with God
