Sunday September 27th
Message: Hope in Heavy Weather (Ruth 2)
Last Sunday we left Naomi back in Bethlehem, convinced her life was running on empty. The fields of Bethlehem are brimming with barley, but their pantry is still bare, and Naomi is little more than a puddle in the bed. Yet Ruth is up and at ’em. And in Ruth 2, God begins filling Naomi’s emptiness, not with a miracle or a voice from heaven, but through a woman gleaning in a field, a worthy man showing her kindness, and a string of seemingly ordinary, but rather advantageous happenstances.
As we walk through Ruth 2, we will see how hope gleans, hope favors, and how hope is found in God’s happenstances.
Discussion Questions for Individuals and Families
-
Verse 1 introduces Boaz before Ruth ever leaves the house. What does the narrator tell us about him, and why might he tell us before Ruth or Naomi know anything?
-
In verse 2, what does Ruth propose to do, and what does she say she will need for it to work? Then look at verses 7 and 17. What do Ruth’s actions throughout the day reveal about her?
-
Read verses 3–4 slowly. What words does the narrator use to describe how Ruth comes to Boaz’s field and when Boaz arrives? What effect do those words have?
-
Make a list of everything Boaz does for Ruth in verses 8–16. Compare his actions with the gleaning law in Leviticus 19:9–10. Where does Boaz go beyond what the law required?
-
In verses 18–20, what does Naomi see, ask, and say? Compare what she says about the LORD in 2:20 with what she said in 1:20–21. What has changed? What hasn’t?
