The Person God's Revealing

Ruth: Finding God in the ordinary

Everyone's looking for the right partner, but most of us are using the wrong filter. This Sunday, we're back in the Book of Ruth, asking a question that cuts to the heart of every relationship: How do you know if someone is worth trusting?

At the end of chapter two, God begins to pull back the curtain on who Boaz really is in how he treats a foreign widow who can offer him nothing. It turns out the ordinary moments are where character is revealed and formed.

This message is for those still searching for the right one, for those who've been drawn to someone for the wrong reasons, for those who want to rekindle the flame when the chemistry has faded, and for those who want to become the kind of person worth choosing for the long term.
