The book of Ruth is one of the most beautiful poetic books in the Bible chalked full of theology and sometimes oversimplified. In this series we take a step back, change our angle and dive into this scripture. Today we look at how Ruth in her action finds redemption.

Join me as we continue in the book of Ruth picking up from the abandonment and the struggle to find meaning. See how in in our struggle we find God and grace.

Have you ever studied the book of Ruth? Do you feel sometimes all the studies are the same? Could something be missing? Join me for a fresh look on this book of the Bible! In today's study we look on being an outsider and how sometimes it seems like God has stacked the deck against us. 

Have You seen the meme out there that is a Leaf of the Babylonian Goddess Ishtar that tells us that her name is actually pronounced Easter? Have you ever heard that Christianity just took over all the local religions and sprinkled a little Jesus? What do Bunny's and eggs have to do with a resurrected Christ. Join us in discerning facts from fiction!
