Ruth and Redemption | Saved and Now What | Mahlon LeCroix

Bro Mahlon concludes a study on the Book of Ruth by focusing on Boaz’s legal redemption of Naomi’s family land and his marriage to Ruth. The pastor contrasts Boaz’s faith with the worldly pragmatism of an unnamed kinsman and highlights how God restores Naomi from her state of bitterness through the birth of her grandson, Obed. The message ultimately frames the story's genealogy as an "end-credit scene" that points beyond King David to the ultimate hope found in the lineage of the Redeemer, Jesus Christ. This message is included this week to show how a real-world scenario points to the beauty of God’s redemptive power in a sinner’s life and how it puts believers on a track towards discipleship. www.shoalcreekbaptist.org
