Sermons About Boaz
Wisdom
Our aim over the next six weeks is to walk through the story of Naomi and Ruth from the Old Testament book of Ruth. As we make our way through this Tale of Two Women, my hope is that you will see how God works in a providential way to reveal His sovereignty and goodness. One of the best ways that you can get the most out of this study is to devote to reading through this story once each week for the next six weeks. This is one of the most well written stories in the whole Bible and it follows the lives these two women as they experience suffering, reward, blessing, risk, wisdom, and ultimately redemption. There are many truths for us to grasp as we journey with Naomi and Ruth.

Where You Go, I Will Go Part 4
At Sovereign King, we have spent the past month discussing the promise that God is at work in this world and in our lives whether or not that work is always visible. A lot of the time, we have no idea where things are going or what God has planned. Because of that, the call of going where God takes us leads to a life of humility, trust, and patience. For example, we've followed Naomi from fleeing Israel during a famine through losing her husband and two sons to her return to Israel with daughter in law, Ruth to her expressed anger at feeling abandoned by God. We've followed Ruth from being a pagan, Moabite to becoming a widow herself to leaving behind her family and culture to professing faith in Jehovah God to working in the welfare fields so she and Naomi can eat to catching the eye of Boaz in whose field she works. Many of us have stories like that where we start in one place in life but wind up in another. Rarely are we able to chart out our life from point A to B and if we do decide where we want to be and wind up there, rarely is the road the one we thought it would be. In our church alone, we have folks who started out as social workers who are now training to be librarians. We have folks who were in the interior design field who now work at hospitals. We have folks who were homeless who are now headed to the military. We have folks who were school teachers who are now...pastors. We have folks who thought they would never get married who have are now happily married, and we have folks who thought they would never have kids but now they do. We may or may not like where we have ended up in life, but the big question all along has been and needs to be, "Can you rise up and call God good and blessed no matter the circumstance?" I mentioned a few weeks ago that God does have a purpose and a plan for everything, but it is important for us to remember that His purpose and a plan is just that…His. And we should think about that at times other than just when things don't go our way. We often hijack our own tribulations with the expectation that God is going to bring about some blessing other than our knowing Jesus better as if knowing Jesus better was not enough. I'm reminded of a conference that I attended a few months ago where one speaker said that failure was God's means of leading us to success. Then the following speaker stood up and said, "Only in America would a Christian say that failure was God's means of bringing you success. When it is all said you and done, you might just fail and all you will have is Jesus. The big question is…is Jesus enough?" Though the book of Ruth seems to be a million miles away from Jesus, I think that is a fair question to ask as we prepare to close this study. So this Sunday at Sovereign King Church, our Big Picture Question is this: Big Picture Question: No matter the consequence, whether good or bad, rich or poor, sickness or health, dreams fulfilled or dreams deferred, is Jesus alone enough for you?
