Happy 4th of July

Wrapping up the story of Ruth.

We are continuing our series through Ruth and talking God, our kinsman redeemer.

Have you ever asked, "why do bad things happen?" We are continuing through the book of Ruth.

The book of Ruth surrounds the main theme of tragedy into triumph. Don't we all have a dream or expectation that has been shattered? We are circling around God, our redeemer.

We have core desires in our life, to be loved and to have a purpose. What can you focus on for your life to have more meaning?

Do you ever wonder if God will accept you? In spite of the flaws and sin and mistakes, do you ever wonder if you will lose the love and acceptance of God? We take a look at a man on a mat lowered through the ceiling to be placed at Jesus' loving and accepting presence.

Imagine for a second you don't have health insurance. Now imagine the overwhelming pressure of a sick child, or family member and the weight of medical bills and questioning if going to the doctor is even worth it. Taking this all the way back to when Jesus was alive, pre x-ray machines and antibiotics, Jesus was attentive of the need. He was in the healing ministry all for the purpose of their eternity.

What does it mean that God wants you to be well? We take a look at a miracle Jesus performed and how he treated them with mercy.
