This is the story of a young woman who made a radical commitment to God and journeyed to Bethlehem where she gave birth to a child that would change the world. Sound familiar?

If you’re thinking Christmas, then you’re closer than you realize, but not quite there. The story of Christmas has deep roots. In fact, it begins in the Old Testament. Today we’re taking a look at a similar story where we find one of those roots, the book of Ruth. Living as a Moabite in enemy lands, how did Ruth find faith in the God of Israel, and what brought her to the town of Bethlehem?

Together, we’ll find how Ruth points to God’s amazing plan to save, redeem, reconcile, and transform the world through Jesus, and how the book prepares us to reflect on and celebrate the Christmas story.

We appreciate you taking the time to listen and we’re praying that this message impacts you in a meaningful way!
