Sermons On Ruth

The book of Ruth is one of the great short stories in literature. Ruth’s conversion to faith and her commitment to the covenant people of God stir our confidence and hope. But this is also the story of Naomi — in fact, Naomi’s shattered dreams. All she wanted from life was a happy marrige, healthy children, and a few grandkids. She got nothing she wanted.

The ESV Study Bible summarizes this book of Ruth by saying that it: “highlights how God’s people experience his sovereignty, wisdom, and covenant kindness. These often come disguised in hard circumstances and are mediated through the kindness of others.” Well said: sovereignty, wisdom, covenant kindness – disguised under hard circumstances. God does good, but it hurts; my how it hurts.
