Preaching the Gospel from Ruth

by Alistair Begg

Ruth 1:1–22
 (ID: 0159)

Whether one is preaching from the Old Testament, the Epistles, or directly from the Gospels, Scripture itself should determine the way in which a sermon unfolds. Pointing to the book of Ruth, Alistair Begg explains the importance of immersing oneself in the details of the story—the sights, the sounds, and the emotion—and warns against overlooking the pieces that hint at something more. There is in the narrative of Ruth a question that presses readers to make a choice about their relationship with God.
