A kinsman Redeemer was someone with the legal right to restore what had been lost, to cover and protect, and Boaz isn't just Mary Ruth. He covers her shame. He redeems her legacy and grafts her into a new family, and that's exactly what Jesus has done for us. He is our kinsman Redeemer. He stepped in to rescue us in our need.

He loves us in our brokenness. He loves us in our messes. He loves us in our mistakes. And he is near to the brokenhearted. He binds up our wounds. Let's thank him for being near to us through it all. In the valley seasons, in the mountain seasons, in our ups and downs, in our unfaithfulness, and in our faithfulness, he never stops loving us. Even while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. [01:19:12] (26 seconds) Edit Clip

You don't have to earn it. You don't have to fix your past to receive it. You simply have to say, yes, I receive it. Just like Ruth Humbert herself and laid at Boaz's feet, we come to Jesus in surrender, and he redeems our story. [01:42:03] (15 seconds) Edit Clip

He works out even the bad, the ugly, for our good. He takes our brokenness. He empowers us to impact literally generations. Look at our God. [01:12:13] (26 seconds) Edit Clip


Like Ruth, we can leave behind our broken past and step into God's arms of grace. God welcomes you into the family of faith. He becomes not just your savior, but also your father. He calls you his own. Praise God for grafting us into his family. [01:35:14] (15 seconds) Edit Clip


The seeds you sow in love, in prayer, on those knees, obedience will bear fruit, not just in your lifetime, but for generations to come. Eternity will be impacted, so keep planting, keep sowing seeds of righteousness, keep loving, keep speaking life to others, keep trusting, keep coming alongside people. You may never see in your own lifetime the full fruit of your legacy, but it will have an eternal impact. [01:40:24] (28 seconds) Edit Clip

Tell your neighbor, don't make a permanent decision in a temporary wilderness.Let me try that again. Tell your neighbor, don't make a permanent decision in a temporary wilderness. Instead of waiting on God's provision, they sought security outside the covenant. And while it may have seemed like a move for survival, it's also a step away from the land of promise.How often do we choose the easier route instead of God's perfect will?
