The Redeemer

Continuing through the story of Boaz and Ruth this sermon examines the scene when Boaz is before the elders of the city to discuss and decide who will redeem Ruth and Naomi. We see that Boaz reflects the self-sacrificing love of God and the blessing of a household built up in the Lord. This story challenges our lack of sacrifice and our selfish priorities. Only a vision of God's grace and love can set us free from such self-focus.
