Loss and Loyalty
Faithfulness in the face of loss

Bold Faith
Taking risks in trust

Naomi asks Ruth to do something that looks risky and inappropriate, yet Ruth's bold obedience demonstrates radical trust that God will honor faithfulness.
The Redeemer Acts
Redemption purchased

God's faithfulness across generations
Ruth 4:13-22
Main Point
Ruth's story doesn't end with her redemption — she becomes part of the lineage of Jesus, reminding us that God weaves our stories into His eternal redemptive narrative.
