Discussion Questions:

Watch the past message, then choose questions to get your group thinking and create openness.

  1. What was something that stood out to you from this Sunday’s sermon? Share what you learned and how it will impact your life.

  2. Read Ruth 2:1–18. The practice of gleaning is rooted in God’s law in Leviticus 19:9–10. What does this law reveal about God’s heart toward the poor, the foreigner, and the vulnerable?

  3. Read Ruth 2:3. This verse says, “As it turned out, she was working in a field belonging to Boaz…” What looked like a coincidence was actually providence. Where in your life might God be working behind the scenes, even though it feels routine or random?

  4. Read Ruth 2:8–16. Boaz gives specific instructions to protect Ruth, invites her to eat, and ensures she gathers more grain than required. How do we see God’s character reflected not just in the written law, but in the way Boaz applies it?

  5. Read Ruth 2:10–12. Ruth was a Moabite and an outsider. What does this passage teach us about how God views and includes those who feel excluded?

  6. Read Ruth 2:8–9, 15–16. Boaz had the option to obey the minimum requirement of the law. Instead, he made intentional choices to protect and provide for Ruth. What does this show about aligning personal decisions with Kingdom values?

  7. Ruth chooses action in faith, and Boaz chooses generosity beyond societal expectation. Where are you currently faced with a choice to either follow cultural norms or live by Kingdom principles? What would it look like to choose differently?

  8. Where are you currently faced with a choice to either follow cultural norms or live by Kingdom principles? What would it look like to choose differently?

  9. Read Ruth 2:17–18. Ruth thought she was receiving provision for the day. God was setting her up for redemption. If you truly believed God was writing a bigger story through your current season, how might that change your attitude or actions this week?

  10. If redemption comes through radical adoption, who might God be calling you to welcome, include, or invest in this season radically? What would that look like practically this week?
