It's hard to wait, especially when we're in a difficult situation or season of life. When we are waiting on the unknown it's even more difficult. In this chapter of Ruth we see good intentions mixed with poor methods but we also see God moving in spite of this. Waiting on God is always better than looking back and wishing you had. (06-03-18)

God never stops moving in the midst of the most difficult times in our life. The reality is, sometimes we see His hand very clearly and sometimes we don't. But just as we see here in chapter 2 of Ruth, in God there is always hope. (05-27-18)

Naomi has lost a lot. She's lost her husband and her two sons and she's grown bitter. She's allowed what's happened to become who she is. She has literally taken on a new identity...bitter. In Christ, you are not your circumstance; your pain, your past, your success, a label. In Christ, your identity is a beloved son or daughter. (05-20-18)

What does it mean to be a godly women? There are many ideas and suggestions, but today we look at Proverbs 31 through the lens of Ruth to see what this does and doesn't look like. (05-13-18)

Going through difficulty and pain is never easy and it's only harder when you go through it alone. After the fallout, we see how God uses Ruth to show Naomi kindness in the middle of the crisis and how that points to Jesus and the kindness He shows us. (05-06-18)

How do I trust God when chooses not to do what I know He's able to do? This is one of our biggest struggles as Christians. For all of us, the unthinkable, the unwanted, the unexpected will happen. Dreams will be cracked and shattered and we'll be faced with the option of trusting God or pushing away. (04-29-18)

Final words are important words. They convey a "please don't forget this" plea when they come from loved ones. As Jesus concludes His sermon on the mount He has some powerful final words for the people and poses a critical question we all need to examine. What am I building my life on? (04-22-18)

There are many who know about Jesus and many who have and will use Jesus to their own ends. What Jesus himself is very clear on is that only a real relationship with Him as savior and Lord matters in the end. (04-15-18)

Beware of false prophets. Yes, it's easier than you think to follow a wolf in sheep's clothing. There are people all around us that may look like they're speaking or standing for the truth but in reality are just looking for their next meal. How do we avoid following or falling into their trap? We examine the fruit of their lives. (04-08-18)

We love sharing good news and there's no greater news than the gospel of Jesus. That our savior overcame sin and death by overcoming the grave and offers us new life in His life that was raised. Come, see! Jesus is alive! (04-01-18)
