RUF at Ole Miss

Religion EN ↓ 246 episodes

Regardless of your beliefs or doubts, RUF is a place for you to explore Christianity and grow in your understanding of who Jesus is and what it means to follow him in community with others at Ole Miss. We are here for the “convinced” and the “unconvinced,” the lost, the found, the burned, bored, cynical, spiritual. We invite you, no matter where you are in the process, to RUF. We meet on Wednesdays at 7:30pm in Paris-Yates Chapel.

This week we look at Moses' intercession on behalf of his people and God's response.

Exodus 32 "God's Patience With Impatient People" 09.04.2026

This week we look at the story of Israel and the golden calf. We discuss our habit of running after idols and what repentance unto life really looks like.

Exodus 20:1-21 "God's Rules for Relationship" 06.04.2026

This week we look at how we relate to God's law, and how it points us to our need for Jesus.

Exodus 17:8-16 "God's Battle Strategy" 26.03.2026

This week we look at the battle of the Christian life, how God shows up, and how we find that in the story of Exodus 17. 

Exodus 16:1-15 "God's Grace for Grumblers" 23.03.2026

This week we look at how Israel grumbled with dissatisfaction even though this was right after God freed them from Egyptian slavery. We also see God's surprising response to their grumbling.

Exodus 14:10-31 "God's Saving Work" 05.03.2026

This week we look at Israel crossing the Red Sea, and see how salvation is an act of God's free grace and not a work of our own doing. 

Exodus 12:21-42 "God's Perfect Substitute" 03.03.2026

This week we look at the story of Passover, and God's gracious provision of a substitute to stand in the place for our judgement. 

Exodus 7-12 "God's Gracious Judgment" 19.02.2026

This week we looked at the 10 plagues that God sent as a judgment upon Egypt in order to free his people from their slavery.  We dig into Exodus 7:14-24 to see how God's mercy and justice are held in tension with one another.

Exodus 2-3 "God's Unlikely Man" 12.02.2026

This week we look at the start of Moses' story. So much about Moses is relatable to us in our humanity, and yet, so much of his ministry is not relatable as he points us to our truer, and better redeemer in Jesus. 

Exodus 1-2 "God's Rescue Plan" 03.02.2026

We look at Exodus 1-2 and find a familiar story of what it looks like to be a person in bondage, and yet loved by a God who works to make slaves into children. 

Psalm 23:6 "The Lord is My Shepherd: God's Promise" 20.11.2025

We end our series on Psalm 23 looking at the promise of God chasing us down with his goodness and mercy to bring us home.

Psalm 23:4-5 "The Lord is My Shepherd: God's Presence" 13.11.2025

This week we walk through the valley of the shadow of death to try to understand why it is good news that God is with us in it.
