The Summit Church Denver

We look at the most well-known verses in the book of Ruth and see how they're a supreme example of loyalty, leading us to ask what it looks like for us to demonstrate this kind of loyalty in our own lives.

As the story of ruth progresses, we see how Naomi and her companions come to a crossroads where someone is going to have to sacrifice tremendously if their relationship is going to thrive rather than dissolve. Consequently, we ask ourselves if we really understand how much sacrifice is at the root of love.

We kick off our study in the book of Ruth seeing how desperately need this story of authentic love, and how often real love is born out of the most painful experiences in our lives.

(Phil. 4:15-23) As Paul wraps up his letter to the church at Philippi, he talks about the need for Jesus' church to be generous because He was first generous with us.

Paul discusses what it sans for us to think rightly as we give ourselves to this cause, as he knows that nothing really impacts how we live as much as how we think.

As Paul continues to look at our lives as we give ourselves to Jesus' cause and are changed by His grace, Paul turns his attention to how we handle our anxiety.

After talking to us about what it means to be accepted by Jesus, Paul shifts our attention to what life looks like after being accepted. We see how life is a race, and as we run, we need an awareness of both where we're trying to go and what can prevent us from getting there.

Paul presents the foundational reason for why he lives, as well as why giving our lives to this great cause is such a beautiful way to live.

As we continue to learn about the cause we're meant to give our lives to, Paul helps us understand the necessity of identifying the right leaders of this movement and us relating to those leaders correctly.
