The history of Ruth and Naomi is recorded in scripture in the book of Ruth. In summary, when Naomi lost her husband and her sons, she was left feeling empty, with none to provide for her and no one to carry on her family's legacy. But her daughter-in-law, Ruth, chose to stay with her--and God arranged for Ruth to encounter her kinsman-redeemer, Boaz, who showed Ruth and Naomi great kindness. And in time, Boaz married Ruth, and they had a son named Obed, who would be the grandfather of King David, and one of many in the genealogy of Jesus. In today's message, Pastor John shares how this story reveals God's providence, and how God often shows kindness to us through the kindness of others.
