Having established that Israelites are not The Church and that only believing Jews qualify for the promises of Israel, we now discuss the "election" of Israel with the National promises that individual Jews will receive, and that these remain separate from promises to the Church of Jesus Christ. We discuss the Abrahamic Promises, Esau and Jacob and the context of Romans 9:13 compared with the original statement made in Malachi 1:3.

Should it really be that difficult to find a virtuous woman? or a man of virtue? In Proverbs 31 we read the words, "Who can find a virtuous woman?" The verse goes on to tell us that her value exceeds that of rubies. A virtuous person is valuable. Thus the question is asked, "How valuable are you?" or how virtuous are you?

The sermon explores the Book of Ruth verse by verse, contrasting Elimelech's fear-driven departure from Bethlehem with Ruth's steadfast loyalty to her mother-in-law Naomi. It highlights Ruth's self-sacrificial commitment to Naomi's God and people, which leads to her encounter with Boaz, a kinsman-redeemer who provides protection and provision. The narrative demonstrates how divine providence works through human faithfulness to restore Naomi's bitterness into joy and secure Ruth's future. Ultimately, the story reveals how a quiet, daily obedience and love for others is used God's redemptive plan for all his children, culminating in the lineage of King David and Jesus Christ.

The Book of Ruth concludes by revealing a lineage that connects the faithfulness of an ordinary widow and a righteous man to the throne of David. As we examine the genealogy presented in these final verses, we are confronted with the reality of God's sovereign governance over history. The narrator utilizes the tōlēdôt (generations) formula, situating the events of Ruth within the broader redemptive history of Genesis and the future promise of the Messianic King. This sermon explores the theological significance of the "empty" Naomi being restored by the go'el (Kinsman-Redeemer) and the naming of Obed. We trace the lineage from Perez to David, observing how God preserved the covenant line through generations of both triumph and failure. Finally, we look forward to the "Shoot from the stem of Jesse"—the Lord Jesus Christ—who fulfills the Davidic promise and reigns forever. This exposition serves to encourage the believer in the providence of God: just as He governed the genealogy of the Messiah, He continues to govern our lives, using our humble acts of obedience to further His eternal kingdom.

This summer, we're taking a quick journey through the entire Bible, looking at the big picture of God's Word. Normally, we teach through the Bible expositionally—one book at a time and one verse at a time. But on Sunday nights this summer, at different locations, we're stepping back for a macro view. As we step back and see the big picture, we discover God's consistent pattern and message woven throughout His Word. The sermon presents a sweeping overview of the historical books of the Old Testament—from Judges to 2 Chronicles—as a unified narrative revealing God's faithfulness amid human failure, with a central theme of divine covenantal promise persisting through cycles of sin, judgment, repentance, and restoration. It highlights the recurring pattern of apostasy, oppression, cries for help, and deliverance through judges, culminating in the need for a king, which leads to the rise of David and the establishment of an eternal covenant that points forward to Christ. The division of Israel and Judah, the prophetic warnings, and the eventual exile underscore the consequences of compromise and rebellion, yet the Chronicler's perspective emphasizes God's enduring promises, spiritual revival, and the centrality of Judah and the Davidic line as the foundation for future hope. The message applies this historical arc to contemporary society, urging believers to remain vigilant, prophetic, and compassionate, recognizing that God's mercy precedes judgment and that revival is possible when His people return to Him, ultimately pointing to Jesus as the fulfillment of all promises and the only true King who succeeds where all others fail.

Sermon | Ruth 3:2-5 | Sunday Evening Service, May 10, 2026. Preacher: Rocky Stevenson In Ruth 3:2–5, Naomi begins to act on her desire to seek "rest" for Ruth—a settled security and future found through God's covenant provision. Set during the dark days of the judges, this passage takes us into the unfamiliar world of the kinsman-redeemer, the threshing floor, and the mercy woven into God's law for the vulnerable. Yet beneath these ancient customs, we discover the unchanging heart of God: a God who brings restoration out of ruin and life out of loss. This sermon explores Naomi's covenant wisdom, Ruth's obedient faith, and the character of Boaz as "a mighty man of excellence" (Ruth 2:1). We examine the Old Testament background of redemption in Leviticus 25:25–28 and Deuteronomy 25:5–10, while also tracing how these themes ultimately point forward to the greater Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Through Him, ruined sinners receive an eternal inheritance and living hope (1 Peter 1:3–5). For believers, this passage calls us to trust God's ways rather than doing what is right in our own eyes (Judges 21:25). For those exploring Christianity, it reveals the mercy and covenant faithfulness of the God of Scripture.
