Ruth 4 Part One - Boaz, The City Gate, and a Wedding
Description
In this episode of the Village Church podcast, we continue our sermon series through the book of Ruth. Jim Wroth walks us through the first half of chapter 4, exploring the significance of the city gate, the role of the kinsman redeemer, and Boaz’s intentional plan to marry Ruth. Along the way, Jim challenges us to reflect on our own privilege and consider what the Gospel calls us to do with it.
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.
