Ruth 2
Dec 7, 2025 • James Reardon
Ruth was a triple-outsider: a widow, a foreigner from Moab, and a woman with no social standing. By all accounts, she didn't belong in the "house of bread". Yet, in Ruth chapter 2, we see God’s heart for the stranger and the alien through a man named Boaz—a "mighty warrior" of noble character.
This week, we look at the "insider culture" of God’s kingdom. We see how God’s laws were specifically designed to provide for the vulnerable and how Boaz becomes a "type of Christ" by offering unmerited favor to someone who didn't deserve it. Discover how Jesus is working to turn every outsider into an insider.
Key Takeaway: You don't have to ask for permission to receive the grace God has already promised you.
