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.

It sure is important to keep the lines of communication open with God especially in case of emergency. Of course emergency prayers must be backed up with a life of devotion and regular communion with God. Pastor Thom is taking us through the Old Testament book of Esther. In chapter seven we come to a climax in this intriguing story of the providence of God persevering His people in answer to their prayer. The timing of the events is nothing less than miraculous and very encouraging to God’s people.

Someone has defined circumstances as “Those nasty things you see when you get your eyes off of God.” All too many are being lead by circumstances rather than by God. Today’s Study The Word will help us not repeat that mistake. In Esther chapter six Haman serves as a classic example of misreading circumstances. As a result he’s in for a big surprise. And it’s not a happy one.

God is in control of our circumstances but the one thing He will not control is how we will respond to them. God in His sovereignty will not violate or freedom of choice even though we may suffer the consequences of our choices. So it’s wise to discover God’s desires and then respond accordingly. Still it can be costly to do so!
