Is there anything you wouldn't do for God? Would you be willing to obey Him if He called you to the mission field? Would you be willing to stay at a job where you are treated unfairly and paid inadequately if that was God's will? And would you be willing to make God the Lord over your bank account? Ruth stands out in scripture as one who put her faith in God first. She was willing to make God the Lord of her life in spite of the costs. Pastor Bill Luebkemann is sharing a series in Ruth and today we turn to chapter three. Here he is now with today's message.

Thanks for tuning in to Hope from the Word. When reading Scripture, it's wise to look for Christ. He is found throughout scripture and that includes the Old Testament. Today on the program, we'll be looking at God's redeeming plan for our lives, as seen through the story of Ruth. This book offers a beautiful portrait of redemption, as we'll soon see. Ruth and Boaz are much more than a couple of people who fell in love and got married. Their story reminds us all that God has an amazing plan for our lives and He loves and redeems us. Here's Pastor Bill Luebkemann…

Imagine losing your spouse and children. I think you'd agree there's nothing more difficult in life than that, and that's the place we find Naomi today on Hope from the Word. When we go through a great loss, there can be a tendency within us to turn bitter, and Naomi did. Today we're going to lift our eyes above the difficult circumstances and see God's bigger picture. I think you'll find this greatly encouraging for those hard times we all face. With today's teaching in Ruth, here's Pastor Bill Luebkemann…

Pastor Bill Luebkemann is starting a new series in the book of Ruth. We can all remember times where we felt we were at the end of our rope and discouraged by what was going on around us. Here in the book of Ruth, we find a woman named Naomi who lost all she had in her life. All those that were important to her had perished. Except one, a daughter-in-law from a foreign nation. This special daughter-in-law is named in the line of Jesus. It's a story of faith, loyalty, and romance. Here is Pastor Bill Luebkemann to take us through the story of tragedy turned blessing, from the book of Ruth.

Greetings in Christ, and welcome to Hope From the Word, with Bill Luebkemann. Bill is the pastor of Calvary Chapel of Marlton. Today we'll conclude our verse-by-verse study of Second Corinthians. Jesus is sometimes thought of as being weak and that Christianity is a religion for the weak. Those in Corinth and the Greek culture in general viewed the gospel as foolish and weak. To answer that charge, the Apostle Paul reminds them that though Jesus was crucified in weakness, He was raised in power. That is real power and real proof of the power of God. For more let's join Pastor Bill in Second Corinthians chapter thirteen verse four...

If God is working in you, then you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. What Hope From the Word! Welcome to the broadcast! Our teacher, Bill Luebkemann is the pastor of Calvary Chapel of Marlton. We'll meet you in Second Corinthians twelve. The Lord had begun a good work in the Corinthian Church, but some false teachers had begun to turn their hearts away from the Lord and the Lord's messenger. So, Paul, in his love for the Corinthians, writes to encourage them to press on in the Lord. We pick up in chapter twelve, where we get the sense that the more Paul loved them, the less he was loved. We can learn a great deal from this section of Scripture, so let's jump right in with Pastor Bill...

There's an old fable that says the gold objected to the heat of the furnace and asked how long it should be expected to endure such heat. The answer was, “As soon as the refiner's purpose is accomplished.” “And when will that be?” asked the gold. The answer was, “When the refiner can see his own face in you.” Welcome to Hope From the Word with Pastor Bill Luebkemann, and our study of Second Corinthians. Today, we'll take a look at what the Apostle Paul referred to as his thorn in the flesh. Even now, God gives His children thorns, and as we'll see, it's for a good reason, so that our refiner can see His face in us! Here's Pastor Bill in Second Corinthians twelve...

Most of us find it extremely annoying when someone brags of their accomplishments, like we see constantly in the world of politics or pro sports. We'll learn today that boasting has no place in the Christian life, unless we are boasting in our weaknesses or about our good and gracious Lord. Here's Pastor Bill now in Second Corinthians twelve...

We all know that if you want to sneak something into the house, you don't come in the front door, you sneak around back, right? Satan uses the back door quite often in his attempt to deceive people. His three-pronged attack, as we'll see today, is aimed at confusing us about Christ, the Gospel, and the Spirit of God. He uses some crafty techniques to get us off track. Pastor Bill Luebkemann will show us how to avoid Satan's snares today on Hope From the Word. Welcome to the broadcast. We'll be in the eleventh chapter of Second Corinthians.
