The Favor of God

God’s favor isn’t something you earn — it’s freely given, shown in the small, ordinary ways of life, and perfectly fulfilled in Jesus.  

In Ruth 2 we meet Boaz, a “worthy” kinsman-redeemer who becomes God’s means of provision for Ruth and Naomi. This message shows that God’s favor is not the result of our effort or worthiness but the gracious action of a sovereign, loving God. We experience his favor in his direction (being placed where he wants us), in his people (others who embody his care), and in his provision (meeting our needs both large and small). Ultimately Boaz points us to Jesus — the true Redeemer who provides, protects, and makes us his children.
