Hidden in the Ordinary

Have you ever had a moment when you looked back and realized God had been working the whole time? But at the time, you just couldn't see it.

This Sunday, we're continuing our Ruth series, Finding God in the Ordinary. We'll find a young widow going to work in a field on an ordinary morning, but she walks into a moment that will change everything.

No miracles, no dramatic signs; just faithful presence meeting quiet providence. If you're in a season that feels unremarkable, routine, or like God has gone silent, this message is for you.

Series: Ruth: Finding God in the ordinary
Speaker: Jeremy Norton
Scripture: Ruth 2:1–17
