A famine. A desperate attempt to survive. Childlessness. Death. Three widows left grieving. Tragedy upon tragedy.  Where is God in all of this? 

Set during the period of the Judges, the story of Ruth, a woman from Moab, and her mother-in-law, an Israelite named Naomi, remind us that even when things are the darkest God is working out his special plan. 

The little book of Ruth is an expertly told short story of family tragedy and God's gracious provision when all seems hopelessly lost. In this message we'll cover Act 1 of this drama, tracing the travels and travails of an Israelite family from Bethlehem to Moab. It's just fives verses, but short as it is, it has much to teach us today. Join us at the start of our journey with Ruth and Naomi.
