Rooted Deep

Today, we continue our series on grace through the eyes of Ruth and Naomi. If we understand that grace is everywhere and in everything that God sends our way, then we must wrestle with the issue of grace in our deepest sorrows and greatest fears. Is God there? Is grace there? If I am blind to the grace that God has given me in these toughest of times, will I not be blind to his care? His love? I am so grateful for the stories of people who needed to see grace in the midst of their trials and heartaches. We are going to look at a few of their stories in this session. I know you will find at least one with whom you can relate.

Part 2 of Reba's first session reminds us that what began as a stream of blood in the garden as God killed the first animal to cover the shame of Adam and Eve still flows through our lives today. From the Patriarchs to Moses, from the Tabernacle to the Temple, from Samuel to Malachi, every prophet, priest, and king has been touched by it. It's the background of every story you read in the Bible. Behind everyone's story is grace. It's the hero.

Today, we start on a wonderful journey with Ruth and Naomi. For years, Reba has spoken at women's conferences and retreats around the world. This series of messages on Ruth is one of her most requested. You don't want to miss these practical sessions on finding grace in hard places and being blown away by the power of grace to change your life.

How have smartphones and social media transformed the way we connect with others? In part two of our series on friendship, we examine the dual nature of technology's influence on our social lives.
