Have you ever hit bottom? Not talking about having a bad day, or a bad week, but when everything is falling apart. Naomi had hit bottom! She had lost her husband and her two sons. She was poor, alone, and broken. There is a theme or a word woven into this part of the story. The word "return" keeps popping up! The word "return" in the Bible deals with the idea of getting things right. We run from God, but God leads us back to Him through repentance. Naomi returns to her home land, empty. This is not the end of the story for her! And it’s not the end of yours either.
Series description:
In the book of Ruth, we see God’s providence at work—weaving redemption out of loss, love out of loyalty, and hope out of despair. What begins with famine, grief, and bitterness unfolds into a story of faithful devotion, divine provision, and unexpected grace. Through Ruth’s courage and Boaz’s kindness, God restores a broken family—and lays the foundation for the coming of Christ, our ultimate Redeemer. Ruth reminds us that even in our darkest chapters, God is writing a redemptive story far greater than we can imagine. Ruth — God's Redemptive Love Story Lesson 2 Returning EmptyPopular Podcasts
