Ruth 3 opens with Ruth and Boaz alone for the first time. In a moment of vulnerability and temptation, they choose obedience, worship, and integrity. Pastor Jon unpacks how their faithfulness points us to Jesus, our ultimate Redeemer, and calls us to pursue purity—even when no one is watching. This moment, though quiet, is part of God’s bigger plan. We’re reminded not to live just for the moment, but beyond it—because our daily faithfulness can impact generations, and only in heaven may we see its full effect.

How do you think about the people in your world who are 'others'? Do you welcome them as loved neighbours towards whom you can show the same generosity God has given you? Pastor Jon looks at Boaz's response to Naomi - a foreigner and a widow's daughter-in-law - and how his understanding of God's mercy and care shape how he treats her.  Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: May 18, 2025

What “only” statements have you believed? What limited labels have you let define you? In Week 3 of our Ruth series, Pastor Lucas highlights a powerful moment in Ruth’s story when she says, “I’m only a foreigner.” He reminds us that, like Ruth, we can sometimes believe the lie that we are “only” what our circumstances or past say we are. But our true identity is rooted in God—we are children of the King, and we can find refuge and strength in Him. Through Scripture and powerful reminders, this message calls us to exchange limiting beliefs for the truth of who we are in Christ. Speaker: Lucas Prado Publication: May 11, 2025

What are you committed to? Maybe it's your family, your job, or a charity you volunteer for. Pastor Ange takes us another step deeper in to the book of Ruth and looks at God's hesed - his faithful and eternal love for us, a commitment so much more radical than anything we are capable of.     Speaker: Angela Mason Publication: May 4, 2025 Table Talk: https://youtu.be/0Run0mu5tv4
