Ruth 3:1-18 – A Strange Proposal
In Ruth 3, Naomi and Ruth are running out of time. The harvest is just about over and Boaz will be returning home. He obviously is not making a move, so Naomi comes up with a plan of her own to get Ruth and Boaz married. It turns out to not be the greatest advice, but it works because Ruth and Boaz have a great amount of integrity. There is a lot we can learn from the two of them…
Ruth 2:1-23 – Coincidence, Testimony, Kindness
In Ruth 2, Pastor Kyle shares the story of what Ruth and Naomi do once they arrive back in Bethlehem. Desperate to survive, Ruth goes out and picks up grains along with the other poor.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 – Our Hope Is In Heaven
Christians talk about heaven all the time, but how does the future idea of heaven benefit us who are still alive? What good is heaven for the busy mom or dad, a retired person, or a student? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and shows us that heaven can give us hope on this earth, even in the present. The reality is that life does not always go our way. Bad things happen. People die. And…

Isaiah 9:6 – Our Wonderful Counselor
In Isaiah 9:6, we see a prophecy from hundreds of years ago that Jesus would come as a baby and be our our wonderful counselor. Since he is the wonderful counselor, are we listening to him and obeying what he says? To ignore the Bible is to ignore the Wonderful Counselor, therefore we must be intentional about listening to Jesus!

Focusing on verses 7-18, Pastor Kyle continues talking about how a person lives a life of worship. In this second part, we learn about the importance of keeping the Gospel central and obeying your spiritual leaders. Good spiritual leaders help you grow closer to God and obey him more.
