Pastor Lawrence's sermon on Ruth highlights themes of loyalty, hardship, redemption, and God's provision. Ruth's devotion to Naomi reflects God's faithfulness and the power of steadfast love. Her bold choice to leave everything behind and follow a new path shows the importance of trust and obedience. Through the book of Ruth, we see that Jesus is our redeemer! We have each been bought with a price - nothing can take us from his hands. Though we were broken, lost and enslaved to our sins, Jesus came and died on the cross to rescue us. His mission is an eternal reflection of the redemptive story of Boaz and Ruth.
