Ruth 1 | A Spark of Light In The Darkness

What this episode covers

In this message, Pastor Derek Holmes begins a series through the book of Ruth, one of the Bible's greatest love stories. More than a love story, Ruth is a living metaphor for the continuing gracious love of God for humanity, redeeming us through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In chapter 1, we are introduced to Naomi and Ruth, two widows in desperate need for hope. Through this chapter, we see some explicit gospel truths that (1) Sin has a devastating power, but (2) The redeeming power of God is much stronger!
