Ruth was content to Worship, Work, Wait, and Witness God's Redemption.

The sermon centers on the danger of covetousness, warning that life's true value does not lie in material abundance but in being 'rich toward God.' Drawing from Jesus' parable of the rich fool in Luke 12:13–21, it exposes the folly of self-centered accumulation, highlighting how the man's inner dialogue, self-reliance, and presumption of endless life led to spiritual ruin. The preacher underscores that covetousness—rooted in envy and idolatry—is a pervasive blight in American culture and the church, leading to discontent, quarrels, and spiritual barrenness, as seen in passages like 1 Timothy 6:10 and Hebrews 13:5. True richness, the sermon affirms, is found in spiritual blessings—salvation, godly wisdom, good works, and eternal life—secured through faith in Christ, not earthly possessions. Ultimately, it calls believers to repent of materialism, prioritize eternal treasures, and live with urgent readiness for Christ's return, recognizing that only those who turn from idols to serve the living God are delivered from the wrath to come.

Ruth 1:1-6 (KJV) Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Beth-lehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. 2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there. 3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons. 4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years. 5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband. 6 Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.

David is on the run. His family meets him and is placed under protection as David continues to flee Saul's murderous rampage. But Saul will use an Edomite named Doeg to SLAUGHTER all but one of the descendants of Eli!

Psalm 37 1. Trust in the lord. (v3) 2. Delight thyself also in the Lord. (v4) 3. Commit they way onto the lord. (v5) 4. Rest in the lord. (v7) The sermon centers on the biblical antidote to spiritual fretting and envy, drawing from Psalm 37 to address the discouragement caused by the apparent prosperity of the wicked and the struggles of faithful believers. It identifies four divine remedies—trusting in the Lord, delighting in the Lord, committing one's way to the Lord, and resting in the Lord—as essential responses to anxiety, discontent, and comparison. Each remedy is presented as both a spiritual posture and a practical discipline, emphasizing personal fellowship with Christ, surrender of burdens through prayer, and reliance on God's timing and sovereignty. The tone is pastoral and comforting, urging the congregation to replace envy and anger with faith, joy, and surrender, while affirming that God honors faithful trust and will fulfill His purposes in His way and time.
