SERMON SUMMARY:

Have you ever felt like a lost cause? We kick off the Advent season by exploring how God redeems what seems beyond repair through the book of Ruth. Walking through the story of Naomi—who lost everything and believed God had abandoned her—we see how God worked through unexpected people to bring hope and restoration. Through Ruth's radical loyalty and Boaz's sacrificial redemption, we discover there are no lost causes with God. He specializes in repurposing our pain and redeeming our brokenness, weaving even life's darkest chapters into His greater story of salvation. This timely message reminds us that emptiness isn't the end—it's often where God begins writing a new story of hope.
