Ruth 2 - Need Calls Us Into Risk
Description
In this episode of the Village Church podcast, Pastor Eric continues our sermon series through Ruth. The message, titled Need Calls to Risk, begins at the moment in Ruth chapter 2 where Ruth and Naomi face hunger; Ruth steps out, choosing to glean in a stranger’s field. Her path, by chance or providence, leads her to Boaz—her kinsman redeemer. As you listen, consider where God may be inviting you to take a bold step; reflect on how your strength shows up in the world. Is it wrapped in kindness and thankfulness, or does it come across as demanding and difficult to approach?
Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other Village leaders open the Scriptures as the witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our lives. Scripture gives us more than abstract ideas. It is the Word of God, given to form us, confront us, comfort us, and teach us how to follow Jesus.
Each episode invites us to listen and respond. We are learning to understand the Bible more faithfully; we are also learning how to live as God’s renewed people.
Week by week, our pastors and leaders talk about the practices of Christian discipleship, including prayer, fasting, generosity, Scripture memory, worship, and life together. These practices belong to a whole life formed around Jesus.
The podcast also speaks to ordinary places where faith is lived; our relationships, finances, habits, struggles, joys, and decisions. The gospel speaks to what we believe. It also teaches us how to live in the present age as people who belong to the kingdom of God.
