Ruth: Go

In this section of Ruth, we see Naomi give Ruth specific instructions on what to do next. These actions come with both risk and uncertainty, but Ruth obeys without question or hesitation. Where are we called to GO in our lives, to put our hands to the plow, to obey the Lord and follow Him, regardless of the outcome? Join us for session seven as we learn how we are called to follow and obey our Redeemer.
