FAMILY THEME:  REDEMPTION

REVERSAL OF FORTUNE
 
Ruth 1-4
In the story of Ruth, we see a picture of Jesus, our kinsman redeemer.

     Naomi returned to Israel in need of a redeemer.

2.  God Has a Plan for Redemption  (Ruth 2-3)
     God guided Ruth to just the right field to provide a redeemer.

     Ruth's connection to David and then to Christ is not coincidental.

BAD APPLES IN THE BARREL

Just one generation after arriving in the Promised Land,
Israel began to turn away from God.

1.  Corruption Begins When a Generation Fails (Judges 2:1-15)

     repentance, liberation, and back to failure.

     God worked on Israel's behalf despite their rebellion and idolatry.
