NEXT Ep. 56 - Faith and Righteousness

The Author of Your Story

God is the author and director of your story, though most of us want to be like Invictus: “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” When we approach God’s Word and submit to His authority, we find a God who chooses to use us. He meets us in our brokenness and calls us to greater purpose. To Moses, God said “Go and free my people from slavery in Egypt”, but Jesus says to you “Go and make disciples”. In a world where our culture says “go and write your story”, the Bible says “God ...

THe Ruler of the Universe

God is the main character of the biblical story. He is the Creator, and we are His creatures. But our God is not like other “gods” people know. The fact that He’s sovereign means that He is in control, and yet this God is personal and cares about our troubles. So much so that He entered our world as humanity and made Himself known through the person of Jesus… “Who is this, that even the wind and the waves obey Him?” The Ruler of the Universe is personal and powerful, and He has a Word for you: “...

The Purchase Price

This week we’ll be reminded of the truth…the truth that is at the heart, the soul, the center of the book of Ruth. This book is about redemption! Boaz paid the price to redeem Ruth…and in doing so, redeemed Naomi too! And of course, his actions in their lives point us to the price our Lord Jesus would pay to redeem us…not just in time, but for eternity!

His Plan

We’re planners at heart. Even the least planning person in our midst has some amount of plans in the works. Sometimes however, that can be our undoing. Are we making plans without consulting, leaning into, and trusting what God has planned? Are we running ahead of Him and His will for our lives? This week we’ll remember that we need to seek God first and then trust Him and trust His plans for us since His plans are always, always perfect!

Perspective in Pain

This segment of Ruth is especially interesting because Naomi says something that is something we would think or say if we were in her shoes. She was bitter about her life, and she was straight up about her bitterness. So, what do you do when the world deals you a lousy hand? What do you do when it seems as if even God is against you? Do you proclaim "Just all me 'bitter'"? No, this week we'll remember that, in fact, God is for us, even when it seems He's not. Remembering that wonderful truth, we...
