Ruth: Part 3

Vern Streeter | Guest Speaker | August 24, 2025

Referenced Scripture: Ruth 3

Big Idea: God is a creative provider because at His core He is a God of Hesed…Ruth did it; Boaz did it; and we can do it too!

Reflection Questions:
1. What did you learn from Ruth Chapter 3 and how did that impact/help you?
2. How has Ruth, the person, challenged or affirmed your perception of female roles? (For instance she proposed to Boaz…)
3. How uncomfortable are you with Boaz being in “good spirits” and Ruth, all dolled up, lying down next to him rather intimately?
4. Naomi is still empty but there seems to be some hope now that Boaz is actively in the picture. Talk about your personal experience with emptiness and fullness.
5. What definition/synonym for Hesed was particularly meaningful for you and why?

What’s your next step?
