Sunday

Reflect on the weekly readings with the following questions:

1. Boaz takes initiative to resolve the redemption matter at the town gate (Ruth 4:1–6). What does Boaz’s willingness to act teach us about responsibility and leadership?

2. Boaz publicly commits to redeem Naomi’s family and marry Ruth (Ruth 4:9–10). Why do you think public commitment and accountability were important in this moment?

3. The community blesses Boaz and Ruth, praying their family will flourish (Ruth 4:11–12). How can encouragement and blessing from a community strengthen faith and relationships?

4. Naomi, who once felt empty, now experiences joy through the birth of Obed (Ruth 4:14–17). How does Naomi’s story show that God can restore hope after seasons of bitterness or loss?

5. The book ends with a genealogy leading to King David (Ruth 4:18–22). What does this remind us about how God can use ordinary acts of faithfulness to accomplish extraordinary purposes?
