Sunday October 25th

Message:  The Bow Amidst Life’s Blows (Ruth 4:13-22)

A wedding. A baby. A family gathered around a newborn child. It’s a wonderfully ordinary ending to a wonderfully ordinary story. Last Sunday we left Boaz at the city gate, with the whole town praying for “the offspring that the LORD will give you by this young woman.” This week, everything we’ve been waiting for since chapter 1 arrives in a single verse. Then the narrator slows down, reads us a family tree, and closes the book on a name that will change everything.

This Sunday we finish our series with Ruth 4:13–22 and see ordinary life and an extraordinary God. Before then, read the passage all the way to its last word, and consider this: where might God be at work in the most ordinary parts of our week?

Discussion Questions for Individuals and Families

1. Read Ruth 1:1–5, then Ruth 4:13–17. What has changed in Naomi’s and Ruth’s lives since chapter 1? What similarities and contrasts do you notice between the beginning and the ending of the book?

2. Read Ruth 4:13. How many things happen in this one verse? Now read Ruth 1:6. In both verses, what does the narrator tell us the LORD himself did?

3. Read Ruth 4:14–15. Whom do the women of Bethlehem bless first? What do they say the child will be to Naomi, and what do they say about Ruth? Compare their words with what Naomi told these same women in Ruth 1:19–21.

4. Read Ruth 4:16–17. Whose name ends verse 17? Why might the narrator want us to hear that name here, at the very end of the story?

5. Read Ruth 4:18–22. Whose name begins the genealogy? How does this connect with the blessing in Ruth 4:12? Then read 2 Samuel 7:12–13. What does God later promise of David’s throne?

6. Read Matthew 1:1–6.Whose names from Ruth’s story appear in the family tree of Jesus? Which women does Matthew name, and what does that tell us about the family the Son of God was born into?
