Good morning! What a blessing it was to worship our Lord with you all yesterday! We were able to celebrate Christ and His work by remembering His atoning death in Communion, & His regenerating power demonstrated in the Resurrection and displayed through the ordinance of Baptism.
In this week's Wednesday night study on Ruth, we will look at lesson 3, Things Take a Turn. Please take a few minutes to read over the lesson, especially the short (5 minute) article, Love at First Sight.
As an additional resource, here are links to two sermons by Alistair Begg on this portion of Ruth. Grace and Favor covers Ruth 2:1-3. Favor to the Humble covers Ruth 2:4-13. Enjoy!

Favor To The Humble - Truth For Life
Sometimes we’re called to step out in faith, not knowing the destination or the outcome. Ruth literally had to step out in faith as she went to the barley fields seeking someone in whose eyes she could find favor. As she proceeds in a seemingly random direction, God is actually ordering the events of Ruth’s life, leading her to work, food and a dramatically different future. Ruth had committed herself to the God of Israel, and she would soon discover that He was able to do immeasurably more than she could ever ask or imagine.
