Message: “Ruth – The Story Within The Story Week One: Providence – Ruth 1:1” from Aaron Carlberg

Ruth is a book that gives us stories within stories! Ruth might be a short book in the Old Testament, but it is a big part of God’s sweeping redemption story being told throughout all of the Bible. Sinclair Ferguson wrote that “all great narrative…is composed of a problem, an unraveling of it, and a solution to it.” This is true of not only the book of Ruth, but of our lives as well. We have a central problem called sin, we are unraveling, and Jesus comes to rescue and save us.

From Series: "Ruth"

Ruth is a book providence and redemption. In one sense all of the Bible is about God’s providence and Redemption, but it is very strongly pronounced in Ruth; it is one of the reasons we are calling the series “The Story Within the Story.” All of our stories find meaning and hope within God’s larger story of us. Providence simply means God’s care and guidance over His creation, but when it comes to our lives we should have an understanding that He knows all that has been done to us and all that we have done…and that He can make things work out for His glory and our ultimate joy.
