Ep. 203 Chain links - Ruth 4:1`-22
In this final chapter from the Book ofRuth, we see a happily ever after to a story that started out so bleak. We also see this book ending with pointing forward to the future king of Israel who would one day come as a result of Ruth's marriage to Boaz.
Ep. 202 The Great Commission - Matthew 28:18-20
The final words in the Gospel of Matthew are Jesus commissioning his disciples to go into the world and make disciples.

God’s Sovereign and Miraculous Leading” This message is given by Steve Hall, as part of the Truth in Time ministry— the Bible in Real World History. This message focuses on the biblical location of Rephidim, where Moses brought water from the rock. We serve the same God today, who provides in the most unexpected ways, in the most unexpected places. You can learn more about the Hall family’s ministry at truthintime.org.
Ep. 200 Removing the veil - 2 Corinthians 3:18
Few things showcase the power of the gospel like the work of sanctification which God does through his people. In this week’s message, we look at the theology of sanctification.
Ep. 199 The Kinsman Redeemer - Ruth 2:18-3:18
Ruth meets Boaz, but Naomi doesn’t know it. Naomi is related to Boaz, but Ruth doesn’t know it. In this passage, it comes to light that Boaz is a relative and they hatch a plan to see if he will marry Ruth. He says he will, but there’s a catch that could derail the entire proposal.
Ep. 198 The good harvest - Ruth 2:1-16
Ruth and Naomi have arrived in Israel. In an act of providence, Ruth “happens” to go into a field owned by a relative of her deceased husband. We see a man show extraordinary kindness to someone who was on the outside looking in of Israelite society. She wasn’t an Israelite and she was a poor widow. Boaz’s acceptance of Ruth points us to how we are to treat our fellow man and it points us to the gospel and the savior who redeemed a sinful world.
Ep. 197 Homecoming - Ruth 1:6-22
Naomi has lost everything and she is fired to go to Israel and hope for a better life, but the fees an uncertain future. Her daughter-in-law Ruth has also had a life of difficulties, yet we see her faithfulness and trust in the Lord. Between these two women, we see two different pictures of how a Christian can respond to difficulties. Will it be bitterness? Or will it be faith?
Ep. 196 You reap what you sow - Galatians 6:7-10
Special guest preacher: Josh Hall.
Ep. 195 The Unpromising Land - Ruth 1:1-5
The Book of Ruth begins with a woman named Naomi. In the first five verses of this book, she has been dealt one blow after another. First she endures a famine, then her husband dies, then her sons both die. She has no prospects and little hope. Sometimes we can feel like Naomi. But this is a book about God’s faithfulness.
Ep. 194 Feeding the multitudes
It’s so easy to forget the ways the Lord has blessed us and provided for us. In this passage, we see Jesus provide for a skeptical group of apostles not once, but twice.
Ep. 193 Unashamed - Romans 1:16-17
The gospel is a message that offends the world and Christians can sometimes be tempted to water down the message. But as Paul begins his letter to the Romans, he says “I am not ashamed of the gospel.” This passage gives a great summary of the gospel while also telling us who it’s for and how it works.
Ep. 192 The cross and the liars - Galatians 6:11-18
In this final section of the Book of Galatians, Paul will return to the theme which has dominated every verse of this book: the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In this passage, Paul will look at the cross and the new creation which is found through the Lord.
Ep. 191 You reap what you sow - Galatians 6:6-10
You reap what you sow. It’s one of the principles by which God has ordered his creation. It’s true for a student, it’s true in our marriages, it’s true at the office. You reap what you sow. Most importantly, it’s true in the life of our faith. If we are sowing into a great relationship with God, we will reap a harvest. If we aren’t sowing, we will reap a harvest of a different kind.
Ep. 190 Baptism and the gospel - Matthew 28:19-20
At the end of the Gospel of Matthew, the risen Jesus commanded his disciples to go out into the world and to make disciples and to baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Churches disagree on virtually every aspect of how a baptism is done and what it means but one of the areas of agreement is that it is something which is important for all Christians.
