Summary

November 5, 2020 | Miller Chapel Scripture: Ruth 4:13-17 According to the text, Naomi, who we met as so bitter, takes the child Obed to her breast. This child was the grandfather of King David.

Obed means worshiper, which is how we find redemption. The story begins with Naomi’s despair and ends with her hope, which was found by embracing worship.
