14 JUNE 2026 (RUTH 1:1-22)

In this sermon from St Andrew's in the Grange, Guernsey, Rev Justin Taylor continues our series on the book of Ruth.Ruth is a foreigner, a widow, and someone living on the margins of society. As she goes out to glean in the fields to provide for herself and Naomi, she encounters Boaz, a man whose kindness and generosity begin to change the course of her story.This passage invites us to reflect on welcome, compassion, and the ways God often works through ordinary people and seemingly chance encounters. It challenges us to consider how we treat those who are different from us and what it means to create communities where people can flourish.The book of Ruth reminds us that God's grace is often found in unexpected places and that small acts of kindness can have a profound impact on the lives of others.For more information about St Andrew's in the Grange, visit:cofsguernsey.org.ggSt Andrew's in the Grange is an inclusive Church of Scotland congregation in Guernsey, seeking to follow Jesus through worship, compassion, justice, and community.#Ruth #Ruth2 #BookOfRuth #SermonPodcast #ChurchOfScotland #Guernsey #ProgressiveChristianity #InclusiveChurch #BibleReflection #ChristianPodcast #FaithJourney #JustinTaylor
