Imagine you’ve gone through incredible personal loss in the midst of a nation-wide famine. That’s what happened to two widows in Scripture: Naomi and Ruth. Even if you can only see the immediate crisis, God is working during such times. In this message, you’ll see God moving forward with His plan of redemption in the four chapters of the book of Ruth. You’ll discover the lasting value of family, community, and the opportunity to witness to a watching world. Even in your darkest days, God is still there, and He’s still in control.
