A Noble Request or a Risky Plan | Ruth 3

On Sunday, 19th January Joshua Lyddy delivered the  third sermon for the year on a series from the book of Ruth titled 'A Noble Request or a Risky Plan' from Ruth 3.

Watch the sermon here.

In Ruth 3 the exciting story of Naomi’s restoration continues. This chapter tells the story of a daring plan that Naomi has conceived for her daughter in law Ruth to find a new husband (what the book calls ‘rest’). Ruth courageously followed through with the plan, but she goes above and beyond by not only asking Boaz to marry her, but also to act as a redeemer for Naomi. By doing this she demonstrates (again) an example of the covenant love of God. We are all like Naomi and Ruth, desperately in need of someone to save us from the straits we are in. For these faithful widows, that someone is Boaz, but for us that person is the Lord Jesus who paid a great price to redeem us from our sin.

1. A Risky Plan (3:1-5)
2. A Midnight Encounter (3:6-9)
3. The redeemer responds (3:10-15)
4. The wait begins (3:16-18)
