PVN Students

In our second College talk, Abby Blackmon and Brooke Dellis share their thoughts on a variety of issues that college students face. From changing majors, to dating, to Greek life and more!

In our final Ruth sermon, Ryan walks us through the end of the story. Ruth chapter 4 reveals that not only at the personal level, but in the grand picture of scripture, God has been working all along.

For our first College Conversation we talk to recent Berry grad Sandra Baggett and current West Georgia Sophomore Zoe Wheat. We discuss what it's like to meet people from new walks of life, how to stay rooted in your faith, and how much crying is ok on move-in day!

In chapter 4 of Ruth we meet a new character, but we never learn his name! This is a big point as this person is used by the author to teach us something about what we value, and how sometimes God has to help us let go, so that we can have something much better: Himself.

In order to get Boaz to acts as Kinsman Redeemer, Naomi sets out a plan. This plan depends totally on Boaz and Ruth being willing to make big sacrifices, and ultimately, on God's grace.

Graduates are facing a very strange road ahead. New challenges, new rules, new unknowns. But the love that God has for us is the same. His love is not only constant, but it powerfully guides our life. Disease and confusion will never have the last word.

We take a break in our story of Ruth to focus on a key theme of the book: The Kinsman Redeemer. He was someone who would rescue those in danger, and would even sacrifice himself to do it. Now who does that sound like?

God is quick to welcome back those who need Him. Ruth goes out to get food for Naomi. What she find is beyond her wildest dreams.

As Ruth is about to meet Boaz, we see God's hand at work. There is no such thing as chance meeting or coincidence. God is working all things at all times for our good and His glory.

The story of Ruth is a beautiful little book, full of life, death, joy, sadness, and hope. This hope is in God's goodness and faithfulness even in the strangest or darkest of times.
