This Sunday, February 14, 2016, we will take a break from our study of the Gospel of John to start a short series on the Book of Ruth. We often hear that this much-loved book is a love story between Ruth and Boaz, Ruth’s commitment to Naomi, and Boaz’s kindness and generosity. But are these the only themes in this book, as told in many children’s Sunday schools? Preview the whole series schedule, titles and texts below.
Read why I almost always preach a sermon series: “6 Advantages of Consecutive Expository Preaching” by Derek Thomas.
