We started a new series this Sunday in Ruth. Ruth is a fantastic romance story, but in order to get to the good part, you have to find your way through a few rough patches. If that doesn't sound like real life. Chapter 1 has a lot to teach us. We start off with three deaths and a famine, and amidst them, we see the beauty of boldness through the faith of Ruth. You don’t have it in you to be bold and courageous apart from the Holy Spirit working in and through you.
