The book of Ruth has reminded us of God's love for, and faithfulness to, His people in all situations, and this final chapter shows us how all the elements of a once seemingly-hopeless situation are part of God's incredible plan for Ruth's life.

In Chapter three we look at what Ruth and Boaz did on the threshing floor during the night that the two were together and the implications within the text. Many choose to avoid the obvious sexual overtones throughout the chapter but today we will glean from boldly discussing the ramifications of the Biblical threshing floor and discover the purity within the story in the midst of many sexual metap...

This is an in depth Bible study of Ruth Chapter 2. The redeeming part of Ruth is not just the plot but it is the entire story. The beauty of the gospel is not just found in what God did, but why He did it as well: love. We will study the Christ Typology.

This is an in depth Study looking at the life of Ruth and her family setting up the picture of God's Love for Israel and reclaiming those that have gone away from him and are welcomed back. There is a Deuteronomy 32 worldview connection as well as some historical background on the worship of false gods.

This is the first of a series of videos on Ruth and the background to the book. Ruth is an exquisitely wrought jewel of Hebrew narrative art. This story of Ruth is a love story, showing themes of Yahweh's people reclaimed by repentance and faith, in a story of covenant hope to lost peoples and nations by the Redeemer.

In this episode we cover a deeper understanding of the Deuteronomy 32- supernatural worldview (Coined by Dr. Michael Heiser- Naked Bible Podcast) of the Bible and how it fits with your theology for the rest of scripture.

Pastor Steve Cassell joins Doc Ryan to discuss the Words of Job's wife.

Taking a look at the final thoughts and words of Job. Its a call to man up and trust God as the Sovereign relational God of Love. In a heart of servanthood and humility repent and pray.

Doc Ryan of Expedition 44 and Pastor Matt take a deeper look at the monsters of the book of Job.

Doc Ryan and Pastor Matt take a look at the dialogue speeches in the book of job and the characters that give them. Chapters 3- 27 is the dialogue chapter of the book in 29 begins the discourse section of the book so what we have in chapter 28 is basically an interesting hymn.     Theodicy – the vindication of the justice of God in the light of humanity's suffering The conventi...

The traditional response to Job is to view Satan as the same entity as the  cosmic evil force of Satan as characterized in the New Testament.  But when you consider the Hebrew usage of the term it isn't quite as clear. Doc Ryan and Pastor Matt take an in depth look at the character that plays the role of the challenger in the book of job and what other theological considerations you may...

Doc Ryan takes a look at the role that the wife of Job plays in the book.     Did she leave Job because of all the sufferings?  Did she die?  Was there a second wife? We know that Job’s wealth and family were greatly restored and increased to him as we read in Job 42:12-13, “So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousan...

Perhaps you have always thought of the story of Job as difficult within the character of God. John Walton has shared that many readers have a very skewed perception of the character of God in Job. Most people look at this book and think that God is in a betting match with Satan, ruins a righteous mans life for no apparent (good) reason, and wipes out his family (also God following people) to make...
