Marriage. What does that word bring to mind? It is more than the man or woman of your dreams. It is more than a bad taste or a dream come true. Marriage was designed, blessed and commissioned by God. Marriage should be the first place of ministry, it should also be the place others are able to see Jesus at work. Join us today as we see how God ordained the first marriage, gave instructions and set...

The culminating message from the book of Ruth is here. We see the responsibility for Boaz will go beyond just being a husband. He will be a redeemer, restorer and nourisher for his family. We are blessed to be able to trace the line of Boaz through history. The line of Boaz is not only redemption for Ruth, but it also leads to our Redeemer- Jesus Christ.

In Philippians chapter three, Paul reminds believers that true joy is found in Jesus Christ alone.

We come to the point in Ruth's story when we know something will happen today! Certain days mark milestones. We use them to celebrate or reflect on what has happened in our lives. We know each day is important in the work of the Lord. For Ruth, we see that today is redemption day, someone will redeem her-today. What about your day of redemption? Can you look back and celebrate that you have been r...

We have seen the proposal from Ruth. She wants Boaz to redeem her. This plan is greater than Naomi and Ruth because God is working out her redemption. Join us as we see Boaz's response and the Plan of Redemption is revealed. 

Plans. We begin our days with a plan. We live our lives by a plan. We bank our futures on our plans. God's word says, "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps." Even in the best made plans, God is at work. Join us today as we see the Lord at work through the life of Ruth.

We read in God's Word of His many blessings. We have experienced some of the blessings in our own lives. As we trace the work of God in our own lives it comes back to God's faithfulness. We are also to be faithful. When we are faithful with the work that God is doing in our lives, God gets the glory. Join us today, as we look into the field and recognize the work that is being done by the Lord!

The story of Ruth gives us a glimpse of how God's providential hand works. He is working throughout the situations that surround us. He uses people that are around us to continue to carry out His will. Join us today as we see the grace of the Lord and also see our human responsibility as well.

The story of redemption involves aligning your life with God's will. We may have stepped out of God's will or even currently seeking God's will, yet God is at work providentially in the lives of His people. Join us today as we see Ruth's return home, the place she belongs.

We begin the Old Testament study of the Story of Ruth. This book sheds light on the work of God in our everyday lives and circumstances. The Providential Hand of God is at work even when we may not recognize it. Join us as we take a look at the uncertain days that lay before a family and the work of God in their lives.

We gather together today to celebrate the freedom we have in our country. We gather weekly to celebrate the freedom we have in Jesus Christ. On this Freedom Sunday, may we be thankful for the blessing of freedom that has been gifted to us. We look to a God that is Great and greatly to be praised.

We all want "the good life," but God shows us that the holy life he intendeds for us is the greatest way to live. Hebrews challenges us to live a holy life by aligning our relationships, priorities, & beliefs with the gospel of Christ. 

"God is Great, God is Good..." has started many mealtime prayers. God is not good just because our food is good or because we get things. God's greatness is part of His character. We look to God for His work in our lives and in our world. Join us as our praise is turned to the greatness of God today.

Division. We learn about it in school, in politics, in culture and even in the church. Little things can cause division. The separation that we will see today is the greatest in all the world. It can't be navigated once death comes. Join us as we look at the great gulf that separates Heaven and Hell.

How do you view the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is not someone to be afraid of. He is the third Person that makes up the Triune nature of our God. There are some things we may not understand, but we are given the Comforter as a help. If you are a Christian, you have the Holy Spirit. He convicts, guides, teaches and helps to make us more like Christ. It is the work of the Holy Spirit that saves. L...

The life of a very familiar and faithful man is on display today. He loses all that he has in the form of material possessions and nearly all of his family. Behind great men and women of faith, stands God. "Great is the Lord" the Bible exclaims. Join us today as we see how faith in the Lord will lead us through any circumstance.

The idea of being great may cause someone to put themselves above others. Yet, the Bible teaches the exact opposite. The way we approach Jesus and the way we approach others matters. The idea that we must decrease, humble ourselves before our God and submit to His leading. Join us today as we see part of being great is being humble.
