Study the Word

Pastor Thom Keller

Conversion by Murder Part 2

January 9, 2020

Responding to the grace of God is our focus today on Study The Word with Thom Keller. As we open chapter one of Galatians, we again underscore the theme of grace. Some are quick to dismiss grace by saying “it sounds too good to be true.” But it is true, the bible assures us of this great truth.

A Study in the Book of Ruth
The book of Ruth is more than just a God ordained love story, although it is certainly that as well.  It reveals the extent of God’s kindness and grace. He accepted Ruth, once an outcast, into his chosen people, and went on to  honor her by  allowing King David and Jesus to be born of her lineage.  Pastor Thom explores the life of Ruth in his 13 message series entitled, Experience Hope in the Life of Ruth.  Request your copy today, on USB flash drive or CD, for a gift  of $25 or more.

Why are people so interested in hearing love stories? Do we live vicariously through the protagonists of a story? Or are we simply programmed to respond with joy over a man and a woman finding truly what everybody wants and needs---love!  Today we see how the love Boaz has for Ruth can be a major symbol of the Love Christ has for us.

As evidenced by the popularity of  certain TV shows courtroom dramas can captivate human imagination. Our story today takes place in similar surroundings. Earlier this week we learned about the Levirate marriage, where the closest of kin marries a widow in order to honor the dead husband and carry on his line. Boaz serves in this section of Scripture as a symbol of what Jesus would later do as the Redeemer for believers.

About Study the Word

Study the Word is a radio ministry of Calvary Chapel Lebanon, Pennsylvania. It features the teaching ministry of pastor Thom Keller.  As we go verse by verse through the Scriptures, our hearts desire is to encourage you to not only Study the Word, but seek to follow God and obey His Word.

About Pastor Thom Keller

Thom began teaching an inner-city Bible study in 1995. That love of teaching God’s word eventually led to the formation of Calvary Chapel Lebanon in October, 2001, with about 50 people meeting in an old hardware store. Our church ministry and philosophy centers on teaching God’s word chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

Prior to pastoring, Thom was president and general manager of Keller Brothers Ford, a third-generation family business that began in 1921.  After 8 years of bi-vocational ministry, in 2009, Thom sold the business and became a full-time pastor.

Thom and his wife, Sue, live near Schaefferstown. Thom and Sue enjoy snow skiing, mountain biking and motorcycle rides.  Thom has often said that he loves performing weddings because he loves being married!

Ted, pictured above is Sue’s brother who has lived with Thom and Sue since 2001.

“It has been an absolute joy to see the changes God is bringing about in the lives of individuals, marriages and families at Calvary Chapel. God’s word does not return void!”

Currently we have worship services Sunday morning at 8:00 AM, 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM at our church located at 740 Willow St.  Please introduce yourself when you stop by!
