Naomi and Ruth arrive in Bethlehem and the town is stirred. But Naomi finds no comfort in her homecoming. She asks to be called Mara - bitter - and names God as the one who has brought her back empty.
In this episode of the Tree Church Bible Study, Pastor Stacey Crawford and Pastor Chris Reed study Ruth 1:19-22 and open an extended conversation on the practice of lament. They explore why lament is woven throughout scripture, how Psalm 22 and Jesus's words from the cross give it shape, and why bringing honest grief before God is a mark of faith rather than a failure of it. The episode closes with a look at the barley harvest as a quiet early sign of God's coming provision in the story.
The Tree Church Bible Study podcast (TCBS) is created for the purpose of helping the Tree grow deeper in our understanding of the Scriptures. Join the conversation as we take an in depth look at different books of the Bible.
