Message: Coming Home Again (Ruth 1:6-22)
Last Sunday we left Naomi in Moab after ten years, three graves, and seemingly little reason to hope. But then word came to her in the fields of Moab that the LORD had visited his people and given them food. So Naomi goes home. What follows is a remarkable journey home involving two daughters-in-law, a tearful goodbye, an astonishing promise, and a woman returning to Bethlehem very different from the one who left it. In this sermon, we follow Naomi and Ruth on the road from Moab to Bethlehem and consider what it means to find our way home again.
Discussion Questions for Individuals and Families
-
What causes Naomi to leave Moab in verse 6? Pay particular attention to how the narrator describes what has happened in Bethlehem.
-
Read Naomi’s words in verses 8–13 and 20–21. What does she believe about the LORD? What different things does she attribute to him?
-
Why does Naomi want Ruth and Orpah to return to Moab? What reasons does she give, and what does verse 15 reveal would be involved in their return?
-
Compare Orpah’s response in verse 14 with Ruth’s response in verses 16–17. What exactly does Ruth promise? What does she appear to be leaving behind?
-
Read verses 20–22 slowly. How does Naomi describe herself and her return to Bethlehem? What two details does the narrator alert us to that Naomi seems to be missing?
