This week’s message is a reminder that the gospel spreads not just by pulpits, but by people—ordinary believers sent out with extraordinary news. From Romans 10:14’s call to preach, and Luke 10’s picture of Jesus sending out the seventy-two, we are reminded that every follower of Jesus is called to share the good news. The Spirit sends, the message saves, and we’re invited to be part of the mission.  We will end by re-emphasizing our church’s mission to start praying for one person we can invite to church in the Fall.

Readings:

Romans 10: 5-17

Luke 10: 1-12

This episode celebrates God’s quiet but powerful work of redemption through ordinary people. Ruth and Boaz’s union doesn’t just restore Naomi — it becomes part of God’s plan for King David and ultimately Jesus. We will be continue to explore in what ways we might be a part of God’s redemptive purposes.

This week, we explore the radical, sacrificial welcome Boaz extends to Ruth—an outsider, a widow, a foreigner. In this simple act of legal redemption, we glimpse the expansive love of Christ, who welcomes the outcast and calls us to do the same. We’re invited to ask: Are we witnesses to God's grace, or gatekeepers of our own personal comfort?

This episode focuses on the sometimes unglamorous but deeply godly call to do the right thing—especially in our relationships. Boaz shows us that real love requires responsibility, sacrifice, and a willingness to do hard things for the sake of others. We are called to demonstrate the same love to others and to God through serving them, Him, and the church.

This week’s sermon explores how God works through seemingly insignificant and unworthy people—like Ruth, a Moabite outsider—to accomplish His redemptive purposes. Though the story is filled with moral ambiguity and human imperfection, it reveals the extravagant grace of God, who welcomes and uses us not because of our worthiness, but because of His. Worship can respond by celebrating God's faithfulness, grace, and the invitation to be part of His unfolding story.

This passage highlights God's gracious provision and kindness through Boaz's care for Ruth and Naomi. The sermon invites us to reflect on how God meets us in our need—not just with daily bread, but with renewed hope, dignity, and belonging. Ruth and Naomi begin to see that God is not absent, even in hard seasons—He is working behind the scenes to bring restoration and joy.

We reflect on how Pentecost reminds us that the Holy Spirit doesn't just descend in dramatic moments but ignites personal renewal in ordinary people - people like you and me. We are invited to pray daily for revival, to rekindle the fire in our own hearts, and to boldly share that flame with others. 

What if the next move of God starts not somewhere else, but right here - with you?

In this episode we reflect on how God begins to plant the seeds of provision through Ruth’s meeting Boaz and ask how we can know whether these types of things happen by chance or through God’s providence.
