Ruth: Gleaning & Hope

Set against a backdrop of national calamity, a more personal calamity comes upon Naomi and her family. Famine in the “house of bread” (the literal meaning of “Bethlehem”) forces them to migrate to Moab. There, the deaths of her husband and two sons leave Naomi bereft, empty. But the bitterness of Naomi is not the whole of the story. Ruth’s loyalty and love for her mother-in-law holds the promise of something more. Naomi is empty (1:21), but faithful Ruth is right beside her, and the harvest is coming. Join us on Sundays in August as we journey alongside Ruth and Naomi as they find redemption in the midst of their grief.
