Ruth 4
Dec 21, 2025 • James Reardon
Why does the genealogy of Jesus include a Moabite widow, a prostitute, and a woman with a scandalous past?
In the conclusion of our Ruth series, we unpack Ruth Chapter 4—a chapter that seems like a dry legal proceeding but is actually the bursting forth of the Gospel in the Old Testament. We watch as Boaz steps up as the "Kinsman-Redeemer," paying a price to redeem a family that had lost everything.
In this message, we connect the dots between a harvest field in Bethlehem and the birth of a Savior in that same town generations later. Discover how God uses "outsiders" and broken histories to weave His perfect story of redemption.
Scripture: Ruth 4, Matthew 1, Psalm 103
