The book of Ruth recounts the story of how Boaz becomes the kinsman redeemer for Ruth and how they fit into the family line of King David. But long before their marriage, the widowed Ruth chose to leave her home in Moab to follow her Jewish mother-in-law, Naomi, back to the land of promise. What kind of example did Naomi have on Ruth that would lead her to leave Moab and embrace Naomi's God?

This week Cedric Evans shares a message with us from the first chapter of Ruth on Naomi's example of motherhood. We'll look at Naomi's selfless love for her daughters-in-law and her enduring faith that would lead Ruth toward trusting in God. And then we'll look at we should respond to our own mothers with love and honor.
