We all want that picture-perfect life, but what does your story look like from behind the scenes?

Listen in as Pastor Larry takes us behind the scenes to the greater truth in the story of Ruth.
The Story Within the Story
July 21, 2024 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali • Ruth 3:1–12
The story of Ruth is much more than just a love story - it's a story about how God restores those who look to Him with hope. He is faithful to His people even when we are unfaithful, and is constantly working within the ordinary to accomplish His extraordinary purposes.
Nothing Just Happens
June 30, 2024 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali • Ruth 2
Are you waiting on God for something right now? Sometimes waiting can be a step of faith, but other times it can be because of fear. Ruth had an active faith, and her prudent actions worked in alignment with God's plan and purpose for her. In the same way Boaz was blessed by God because he was a good steward of the resources entrusted to him. God's providential hand then moved in marvelous ways to write their love story and legacy. Nothing just happens.
Turnaround God
June 23, 2024 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali • Ruth 1:1–19
Ruth is a powerful, intimate, life-changing book that inspires hope in the dark moments of life. God is the master of turnarounds, and He does it by bringing about an end in order to birth a new beginning. So what do you need to walk away from to embrace something new that God has for you? Find courage like Ruth had, and step out in faith.
