SPOT Lesson Preview

In last Sunday's lesson on Boaz, I mentioned the story took place during the time in Israel's history that the nation was governed by judges.  I even mentioned one of the judges, Gideon.  He is one of the most well-known people to serve in that capacity.  So I have decided we should take a closer look at the man, Gideon.  This Sunday we will do that.

Now, after March 15, there will be two more weeks in August.  That means we will only have two more Adult Rated Bible studies left.  I am giving you the task of deciding which two Bible characters we will look at.

The options are:

• David
• Ahab
• Elijah
• Daniel

You will have an opportunity to cast your vote Sunday and I will let you know the results on a weekly basis as I send out the Lesson Preview. 

See you Sunday,
Don

Mid-Week Update!!!

Sunday Lesson Recap

On Sunday, we read and discussed about a man of honor...Boaz.  Read read the bulk of the story in Ruth 1:19-4:10.  We covered the famine and Ruth's dedication to Naomi.  It is so deep that she leaves her people and clan to go back with Naomi.

In Bethlehem, once the two women return, Noami is defeated.  Her husband and son's are dead.  She has no means of financial survival.

One day Ruth offers to go gleaning...gathering leftover barley.  The fields were close to the city of Bethlehem, where we find a relative of Naomi's husband, Boaz.

Boaz offered to keep Ruth safe in his fields.  He was kind to Ruth because of the way she had taken care of Naomi.  Ruth gleaned a lot of grain.  When this barley was presented, the mention of what Boaz did was mentioned. Boaz was a wealthy man, and for him to give pause to a gleaner was highly unusual.  What does this tell us about Boaz?

One day Naomi came to Ruth with a plan to "catch her man".  This plan works, and as a result Boaz and Ruth are married.  As we read the generational sections of the Word, we find that their descendants are David and Jesus!
