The Love That Refuses to Exit: A Powerful Sermon on Ruth 1
In a disposable world that makes it easy to quit, what does it mean to have a love that stays?This sermon dives deep into the Book of Ruth to uncover one of the most important concepts in the Bible: hesed, or loyal love. We explore the moment when Naomi, bitter from loss, offers her daughters-in-law an exit strategy. While one takes it, Ruth makes a radical choice to cling to her, providing a powerful picture of God's hidden providence.Join us as we discover how God often moves not through loud miracles, but through the quiet, stubborn, loyal love of people who refuse to leave. This message connects Ruth's radical commitment to the ultimate hesed of Jesus Christ, who refused His exit on the cross to become our entrance into grace.In this message, you will discover:How God provides hope when you feel bitter and abandoned.The powerful difference between "contract" love and "covenant" love.Why your awkward presence in someone's pain is more powerful than you think.How to draw strength from the Gospel to love others without an exit strategy.This is a message for anyone who has ever felt alone, for anyone who has struggled to love when it's hard, and for anyone who needs to be reminded that God's love has no exit.
