The Ruth Challenge

Our pastor issued “The Ruth Challenge” as our current Bible reading plan to allow for the church to be saturated in this Biblical book and prepared to receive fresh instruction from it in the upcoming sermon series through Ruth.  The sermon series starts on June 27.

The Ruth Challenge is to read the entire book of Ruth (4 chapters) once a week for the next 3 weeks (leading up to 6/27), asking the Holy Spirit to reveal new insight every time you read it.

One comment that was shared already was that it was helpful for one to read through the book from the specific perspective of one of the characters (Ruth, Boaz, narrator, etc.).  This technique can bring new understanding into the message it contains.

Take the Ruth challenge! And as you go through your readings, help teach each other by sharing any thoughts/insight by commenting on this post.
