Ruth Chapter 4: From Widow to Great-Grandmother of a King


Listen Later

This week, Greg and Nathan wrap up their journey through the book of Ruth with a deep dive into Ruth 4, a chapter where legal negotiations, bold faithfulness, and God’s quiet providence converge into a story far bigger than anyone in Bethlehem could have imagined.

At the city gate, Boaz steps into the public square to do things the right way, navigating the cultural and legal process of redemption with wisdom and integrity. Greg and Nathan break down why the gate mattered, why Boaz started by talking about a field instead of Ruth, and why the unnamed redeemer stepped aside once Ruth entered the picture. They’ll unpack the meaning behind the ancient sandal ceremony, the elders’ powerful blessings, and the surprising declaration that Ruth is “more than seven sons.”

Together, they trace how this chapter moves from uncertainty to overflowing joy—culminating in a genealogy that links Ruth, a Moabite widow, to King David, and ultimately to Jesus, the Redeemer behind every redemption story.

If you’ve ever wondered how God weaves ordinary, fragile lives into His grand purpose, this finale will encourage you, challenge you, and help you see Ruth’s story with fresh eyes.

Join Greg and Nathan as they explore how God redeems broken stories and threads them into His redemption story—one that stretches from the fields of Bethlehem to the throne of the true King.
