This week, Pastor Chris walks us through the gut-punch opening of Ruth’s story — a tale of loss, uncertainty, and unexpected loyalty. In a world filled with both beauty and brokenness, how do we respond when life doesn’t go as planned? Drawing from Ruth 1, we explore the spiritual tension between hardship and hope, and how the gospel empowers us to live faithfully in that space. If you've ever felt stuck between grief and grace, this message will help you name what’s true, lean into compassion, and trust God’s work—even when life feels like it’s falling apart.
