In what ways did Boaz, her kinsman-redeemer foreshadow the greatest kinsman-redeemer of all, Jesus Christ? Join Pastor Jim for this study of Ruth 2 and the story of God’s amazing grace at work in our world.
Sermon Notes
Ruth 2

- Hungry for Grace (v. 2)“Human beings do not readily admit desperation. When they do, the kingdom of heaven draws near.”
Philip Yancey, The Jesus I Never Knew - Humbled by Grace (v. 10)“Grace is love that seeks you out when you have nothing to give in return. Grace is love coming at you that has nothing to do with you. Grace is being loved when you are unlovable.”
Paul Zahl, Grace in Practice - Helped by Grace (v. 11-13)“God’s grace has not only rescued you, but has included you in much bigger and more beautiful purposes for your life than you would have ever chosen on your own.”
Paul Tripp - Amazed by Grace (v. 17ff)“It is fitting for a creature to be in a continuous posture of gratitude toward his creator. And it is even more fitting for a redeemed rebel to be in an ongoing posture of gratitude toward his redeemer. The kind of life that flows from such amazing grace is the life of continual thankfulness.”
