DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

1. Read Ruth 3. What stands out to you today?

2. What stayed with you from the sermon? Was there anything confusing, encouraging or challenging?

3. What do you make of Naomi’s plan? And what does Ruth display in her participation in this?

4. Explore the element of the garment in this story. What is the symbolism, and what do you think Ruth was asking for?

5. Building on what we know of the role “kinsman redeemer,” how is Jesus the truer version of that?

6. In the end, Mark shared about the use of the word “empty-handed” in this story. Part of Ruth’s redemption is the reversal of Naomi’s emptiness. As you conclude in prayer, what do you feel is empty from your life?
