The Book of Ruth is not a fairy tale. The characters are not one-dimensional moral characters in a fairy tale. It's not a romantic comedy. Instead, it's a real, painful, sorrowful story that follows the tragedies of the book of Judges and leads to the story of King David, and ultimately to Yeshua our Messiah, a perfect savior who comes through a broken family, just like us. Jump into the book of Ruth with us as we approach Shavuot!

Christians often believe the "Church" began in Acts 2, but it started at Mt Sinai when Israel gathered to receive the Torah. Acts 2 is the fulfillment of God's promises to the Jewish people twice, on Shavuot, 1500 years apart, with the giving of the Torah and the Holy Spirit. To learn more, watch "Nothing New Happened in Acts Chapter Two!"

"Promise" refers to something that will happen in the future. It is not possible to promise something that has already taken place in the past. Unfortunately, we have had experiences with broken promises. However, we know that God never breaks His promises. He made promises to our ancestors, and although they did not always see the fulfillment of those promises during their lifetime, we have seen them come true. As we begin Passover, we remember that we worship a God who always keeps His promises.

Marty McFly once said to Doc Brown about the responsibility of the space-time continuum, "That's heavy!" Interestingly, the Hebrew word for honor means heavy or weighty. The way we honor our parents, which is the fifth commandment of the ten, has a direct impact on how we honor God and other people around us. It's a heavy responsibility that we have to carry. You can learn more by checking out the message on how to "carry the weight of honor."

Everyone has choices in life. The Psalmist highlights the fact that the people we associate with can greatly impact our attitudes and behaviors, and that it is important to choose our companions wisely. This age-old lesson still holds true today, as the company we keep has the potential to either uplift us or bring us down. Choices matter and the wisdom of Psalm 1 leads us away from the path of death and towards the path of life!

God is always with us, even when we can't see or feel His presence. And sometimes, the difficult and painful experiences we go through can lead us to greater joy and growth in the end. It's like God is throwing a party for us, inviting us to embrace all of life's ups and downs and celebrate the journey. This Purim, amidst the chaos of the world, we must strive to "See God Anyway." Let us show you how!
