About this sermon
In this first session of Secret Church 24 on Ruth 1, Pastor David Platt covers the complex historical and cultural context that sets the stage for this unique story. He recounts how Ruth has relinquished her heritage and people to willingly follow Naomi into a land that will reject her due to her origin and history. The book of Ruth showcases how God takes ordinary, unsuspecting people from hurt to hope amidst difficult, dark times. Pastor David Platt encourages Christians to view this story, and their own, through the lens of God’s unwavering faithfulness. 🇰🇵Hard to Reach: North Korea Part 1 premiered during this session.
