We continue our journey through the Book of Ruth, now exploring chapter three. In this passage, we see how Ruth courageously stepped out in faith, following Naomi's guidance to ask Boaz to fulfill his role as guardian-redeemer.

Three keys to Bold Faith

Faith Requires Trusting Without Seeing - Hebrews 11:1

Integrity and Bold Action Work Together - Ruth 3:10-11

Trusting the Outcome to God - Ruth 3:18

This sermon, titled "As It Turned Out," explores the theme of finding God in hard work, drawn from Ruth 2:1-10.

Through the story of Ruth, the sermon emphasizes how faithfulness in small, diligent actions can lead to divine opportunities and blessings. Remain diligent and faithful in the current season, trusting in God's provision.
