Introduction & Background (Ruth - God's Redemptive Love Story: Lesson 1)

Pastor Chris Andrews (Lead Pastor) - ​​​​​​​​​​Ruth 1 (Romans 8:28; Ruth 1:1-14; 14:21; Matthew 1:5; Genesis 19:33-37; Judges 3:11-31; 17:6; Leviticus 26:18-20; 2 Chronicles 7:13-15; Psalm 119:67; Zechariah 4:10)

In the book of Ruth, we see God’s providence at work—weaving redemption out of loss, love out of loyalty, and hope out of despair. What begins with famine, grief, and bitterness unfolds into a story of faithful devotion, divine provision, and unexpected grace. Through Ruth’s courage and Boaz’s kindness, God restores a broken family—and lays the foundation for the coming of Christ, our ultimate Redeemer. Ruth reminds us that even in our darkest chapters, God is writing a redemptive story far greater than we can imagine. Ruth — God's Redemptive Love Story Lesson 1 Introduction & Background 1.
