setting the scene
The Places and People in The Story
► When “judges” ruled: During the time of the Judges 1300 BC- 1000 BC
► Bethlehem in Judah: House of bread
► Moab: Genesis 19:36-37
► Elimelech: My God is the king
► Naomi: Pleasantness
the Wrong direction
always equals The wrong destination
Ruth 1:1-5
► Dead ends and famines can be:
A mess we made
A mess someone else made
Setting the stage for a miracle
Just life
the first two steps back home
❶ Pursue obedience more than comfort.
❷ The best new chapters begin with faith and honesty.
