AMAZING GRACE!

Naomi was left in a terrible state – miserable and depressed and bitter! She did not want to be reminded of her past nor have any illusions about her future – she was hopeless. Ruth had seen enough to know that there was mercy in the faith of the Jews – so she sought to provide for them by the Levitical allowance of gleaning. Ruth goes to the field recommended by Naomi as it was a relative of her late husband – the fields of Boaz. Ruth was seeking mercy from God’s people but God was positioned to give her and Naomi great grace – amazing grace! Sunday I will share the background of gleaning, the faith of Ruth, the goodness of Boaz and the great and amazing Grace of God – join us for a wonderful journey down the path of trust as we meet the champion of our story – Boaz.

D.L. Moody captures this entire encounter from his quote: “Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God's favor.”

The bitter Naomi did not deserve God’s goodness – the Moabitess, Ruth did not deserve God’s goodness and to be honest – neither do we! Come and celebrate God’s goodness this week at Grace – where the topic will be Grace – God’s Grace.

See you Sunday,

Pastor Mike
