The Rest of the Sermon

The Rest of the Sermon

  • The Quiet Work of Redemption

    We tend to think of God as working in the big moments, the lightning bolts, the miracles, the “aha” experiences. But what if most of God’s work doesn’t look like that at all? The story of Ruth and Boaz is a story… Continue reading

  • The Power of Staying When It’s Easier to Leave

    Some of the most powerful moments in Scripture happen quietly. Around a dinner table. On a dusty road between destinations. That’s what we find in the story of Ruth and Naomi. Both women had lost everything. Their husbands were gone.… Continue reading
