01
The Book of Ruth
Steven Dollenberg · 19 October 2025
In this new series, we are looking at the contrast between living by our own will (yashar) and the redemption offered by the coming King in the Book of Ruth. We explore how the Kinsman Redeemer intervenes in times of famine and ruin to rescue, restore, and redeem the destructive fruit of human self-will (yashar) to the uttermost.
02
The story of Ruth
Wendy Smith · 26 October 2025
The story of Ruth teaches us how we can partner with God to turn our mess into a life of significance.
03
Ruth’s Devotion
Tyler-Paige Dyer · 28 October 2025
Risk everything on the rumor of a good God. Tyle-Paige uses the Book of Ruth as an invitation to total covenant, moving past reservation and choosing an "all-in" heart posture that invites God’s ability and generational faithfulness into your story
04
Redemption
Steven Dollenberg · 2 November 2025
Redemption in Ruth chapter 2 begins as Ruth humbly steps into God’s provision with faith, Boaz responds with kindness and generosity, and Naomi awakens to hope, each choosing to trust God’s redemptive plan, setting in motion a legacy of restoration.
05
How God Restores
Matt Fannin · 9 November 2025
In Ruth 3, contrasting the "first kindness" of temporal blessings (food, land, comfort) with the "last kindness," which is greater because it brings life and purpose found only in Jesus, the ultimate Redeemer. It challenges us to recognise that Jesus is the plan and requires the faith to risk our good lives if those blessings obstruct the pursuit of God's eternal purposes.
06

Steven Dollenberg · 16 November 2025
This week we close our series on the book of Ruth by looking at ground zero for God’s redemptive work - a space we often overlook called ‘Meanwhile’.
