Why is the story of Ruth, just four short chapters, so important that it’s included in the Bible? Because within one family’s pain, faith, and redemption, we see the whole sweep of God’s story, from the fall to the coming of Jesus.

In this opening message, we unpack why Ruth matters, where it fits in the Bible’s timeline, and how God’s sovereign hand is at work in both history and the everyday details of our lives.

Listen now to discover how this ancient story speaks directly to your present and your place in God’s bigger plan.

Ruth - Introduction – Simon Elliott

Bitter to Hopeful: When Pain Isn't the End of the Story
Naomi left Bethlehem full and returned empty, grieving and bitter. But even in her lowest moment, God was not absent. In Ruth chapter 1, we see how faithful friendship, sacrificial love, and quiet commitment begin to write a new story of hope.

This message invites us to be honest about pain, discover God’s presence in our grief, and see how Ruth’s unwavering loyalty points to Jesus himself.

Listen now to explore how God brings purpose even from loss and how he often begins redemption through the people who simply choose to stay.

Ruth - Chapter 1 – Simon Elliott

Hope in the Margins: A Story of Provision, Protection & God’s Grace
In Ruth chapter 2, hope begins to rise. Ruth sets out to glean, trusting in God’s law for the vulnerable, and ends up in the field of Boaz, a godly man who models kindness, protection, and generosity. Through his actions, we see how God provides through both His Word and His people.

This message challenges us to be like Boaz: creating margin for the poor, using power to protect the vulnerable, and trusting God enough to be radically generous.

Listen now to discover how small acts of faithfulness can lead to big moments of hope.

Ruth - Chapter 2 – Simon Elliott

Bold Faith, Godly Risk & the Hope of Redemption
In one of the most surprising and tender moments in Scripture, Ruth steps into the dark night with bold faith and a risky plan, and Boaz responds with honour, protection, and promise. Ruth chapter 3 isn’t just a romantic turning point; it’s a powerful picture of how trusting God’s Word leads to action, how godly character responds to risk, and how redemption begins with both courage and waiting.

Listen now to discover what it means to trust boldly, act faithfully, and wait expectantly for the fullness of God’s promise.

Ruth - Chapter 3 – Simon Elliott

In the final chapter of Ruth, we witness the beauty of redemption fully realised. Boaz steps up with integrity and courage, not only securing Ruth’s future but playing a key role in God’s unfolding salvation plan. This message explores the contrast between half-hearted faith and full commitment, and shows how God’s grace can redeem anyone, no matter their past. Ruth’s story ends not just in love and restoration, but in legacy, leading all the way to King David, and ultimately to Jesus.

Listen now to discover how your story can be part of God’s greater story.

Without Vision the People Perish | Proverbs 29:18
Vision isn’t just about looking ahead; it’s about seeing God’s purposes and letting them shape how we live today. Without vision, life drifts into confusion and emptiness. With God’s vision, life finds purpose, boundaries, and blessing.

In this message, we explore what it means to live as Image Bearers and Kingdom Bringers, unpacking our seven words: Son, Father, Spirit, Grace, Community, Kingdom, Love, that capture God’s vision for our lives and church.

Listen now to discover how God’s vision can bring clarity, direction, and hope to your life.

This message kicks off our Devoted series, reminding us that true devotion is not about striving in our own strength but living in dependence on the Holy Spirit.
