RUTH 2: The Gift of Belonging

Ruth 2 might not look like an Advent passage… but it absolutely is.

This week we explore how God meets His people right in the middle of their emptiness, longing, and need—and how the surprising kindness of Boaz points us to the even greater kindness of Jesus, our true Redeemer.

In this message, Pastor Peter shows us:

Light Finds You - God’s quiet providence is always at work—especially when life feels random, empty, or out of control. Ruth “just happens” into the exact field where grace is waiting for her.

Love Embraces You - Boaz’s favor isn’t just kindness—it’s costly, committed, covenant love. His actions give us a glimpse of the steadfast chesed of God fulfilled in Christ.

Hope Shines Through You - Ruth is satisfied with grace that overflows—and her abundance rekindles hope in Naomi. In the same way, Jesus fills us so that our lives spill over into others.

And on this Membership Sunday, we reflect on what it means to belong to a gospel-shaped community—not because we’re impressive, but because grace has made room for us.

If you’re longing for hope, craving belonging, or wondering if God sees you—this message is for you.
