When Grief Pushes People Away
What happens when grief starts to sound like kindness? “Look after yourself. I can’t do anything for you. You’d be better off without me.” In Ruth 1, Naomi says all of it, and none of it is malicious. But it may be pushing her toward an even more lonely and precarious place.
Grief That Takes Your Name
In this first message of a series on Ruth, we explore why Naomi, not Ruth, is the central character of the story, why many scholars think this woman-centred book may have been written as a quiet protest against the exclusion of foreigners in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah (Nehemiah 13), and how the meaning of the names in the story reveals what is really going on.
Love That Actually Lasts
What if the real miracle of love isn’t finding the right person—but becoming the kind of person who can stay? In this final message of The Miraculous series, we explore the ancient story of Ruth and uncover a vision of love that goes far beyond romance. This is a story about commitment, community, and the quiet, steady work of choosing one another—again and again.
