June 22, 2024 • Matt Rosenberg • Ruth 4:13–22, Romans 2:28–29, Deuteronomy 30:6, 2 Samuel 12—16
The book of Ruth ends with a genealogy that leads to King David. For 1000 years, Israel waited for someone who would come and sit on David's throne forever. The Gospel of Matthew highlights David's importance and shows that Yeshua, his son, is the One Israel was waiting for. The King has finally arrived! Watch "Filled Full," the final message in our series on Ruth!

God is the Source of Blessing
June 15, 2024 • Matt Rosenberg • Ruth 4:1–12, Leviticus 25:25–28, Deuteronomy 25:5–6
There is nothing that can keep you from the love of God. This is why He is referred to as our Goel (redeemer) throughout the Scriptures. Blessings don’t come because you do or don’t deserve them. Blessings are available to everyone, from any nation, who surrenders to the God of Israel and acknowledges that all blessings come from God. Watch part 5 of Ruth, "God is the Source of Blessing," today for Shavuot!

Conspiracy of Kindness - Ruth Part 2
May 25, 2024 • Matt Rosenberg • Ruth 1:7–22, Luke 6:31–36
There are two types of Chesed (loyal love) in the Bible: Chesed in relationship to God and Chesed in relationship to other people. We often desire kindness and mercy for ourselves, but justice for other people. There is nothing God wants more than to pour out His Chesed on those who know they don’t deserve it. When you know you don’t deserve it, and you are shown Chesed by God anyway, you can freely share Chesed with those who don’t deserve it in your life. The only conspiracy that truly matters in life is "The Conspiracy of Kindness."

Famine to Fullnes - Ruth Part 1
May 18, 2024 • Matt Rosenberg • Ruth 1:1–7, Ruth 1:20–22, Deuteronomy 23:4–7
The Book of Ruth is not a fairy tale. The characters are not one-dimensional moral characters in a fairy tale. It's not a romantic comedy. Instead, it's a real, painful, sorrowful story that follows the tragedies of the book of Judges and leads to the story of King David, and ultimately to Yeshua our Messiah, a perfect savior who comes through a broken family, just like us. Jump into the book of Ruth with us as we approach Shavuot!
