00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.799
 We're here to worship God. We're going to begin by singing to his praise in Psalm 139a.

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:12.720
! So the Sing Psalms version of Psalm 139, you'll find that on page 180 in your psalm books.

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:21.120
 We're going to sing from the beginning down to the verse marked 10. These are words that remind us of

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:30.160
 God's awareness of everything about us. Psalm 139a on page 180. At the beginning,

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:37.100
 O Lord, you have examined me. You know me through and through. My sitting, rising, all my thoughts

00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:43.960
 afar are known to you. Verses 1 to 10 of Psalm 139a to God's praise.

00:00:51.119 --> 00:01:19.099
 You have examined me. You know me through and through. My sitting, rising, all my thoughts afar are known to you.

00:01:19.099 --> 00:01:45.099
 My going and I'm lying down, I've been before you. Before I speak a word, O Lord,

00:01:45.099 --> 00:02:11.439
 our heart is well known to you. You have me in behind before. You lay on me in your hand. Such

00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:25.159
 The story is too wonderful, too high to understand.

00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:43.159
 Where can I draw your spirit dream, or from your presence go?

00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:58.859
 If to the heavens you are there, or in the depths below.

00:02:58.860 --> 00:03:15.860
 If I should take the wings of dawn, and dwell beyond the sea.

00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:31.860
 There also you will be my guide, your right and holding me.

00:03:36.860 --> 00:03:40.160
 Let's bow our heads as we call on God's name in prayer.

00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:41.360
 Let us pray together.

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:50.280
 Lord, we praise you this morning for your knowledge of us, of all things.

00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:53.920
 There's everything, everything about us is known to you.

00:03:54.020 --> 00:03:56.660
 And Lord, that can be a great comfort to us at times.

00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.760
 It can also be something that unsettles us also.

00:04:01.660 --> 00:04:04.840
 Lord, even as the psalmist penned these words, it's not clear.

00:04:05.540 --> 00:04:11.080
 Whether he was comforted by that fact, or whether he was wanting to escape from you.

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.700
 But he knew that wherever he went, Lord, you would be there.

00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:22.560
 And Lord, even when our circumstances are bleak, when we're in dark and difficult situations, Lord,

00:04:23.259 --> 00:04:24.400
 you're aware.

00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:25.900
 You are with us.

00:04:26.020 --> 00:04:26.740
 You know us.

00:04:27.060 --> 00:04:28.480
 We thank you, Lord, for that.

00:04:28.540 --> 00:04:30.860
 And we thank you that you're here today.

00:04:31.400 --> 00:04:35.340
 You're always there where your people meet to worship you.

00:04:35.500 --> 00:04:38.080
 We thank you for every individual that has come here today.

00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.639
 We're a large group of people, and yet we're all different.

00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:44.719
 And we're all known to you.

00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:49.779
 Everything about our circumstances, everything that's going on in our lives, Lord,

00:04:50.419 --> 00:04:53.279
 you are intimately aware of these things.

00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:57.939
 And we pray today, Lord, that you would meet us according to our need.

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.379
 Whether we're young or whether we're old, bless the children with us, we pray.

00:05:01.379 --> 00:05:06.600
 And we desire, Lord, and long for your blessing on their young lives.

00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:14.040
 Every single one of them is loved by you with a love that is even greater than the love of their own parents.

00:05:14.379 --> 00:05:17.519
 And Lord, we pray for them today as they go out to Sunday school shortly.

00:05:18.139 --> 00:05:19.560
 We pray for those who teach them.

00:05:19.659 --> 00:05:21.779
 We pray for those who look after them and crash.

00:05:21.779 --> 00:05:27.139
 And we ask, Lord, that you would be part of their lives.

00:05:27.339 --> 00:05:33.819
 And even as they grow up, that they would grow up loving and following and deciding to serve the Lord Jesus.

00:05:34.699 --> 00:05:38.219
 Be with the teenagers here as well, Lord, at a different stage in their lives

00:05:38.219 --> 00:05:44.799
 when there are so many temptations and so many things that could draw them away from you and away from your word.

00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.419
 Lord, guard them and keep them, we pray.

00:05:48.019 --> 00:05:50.839
 And draw them ever closer to yourself.

00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:58.239
 May we all, Lord, regardless of age, young or old, may we be brought closer to you today.

00:05:58.359 --> 00:05:59.459
 Be pleased to bless us.

00:05:59.579 --> 00:06:01.560
 Speak to us through the Bible.

00:06:02.659 --> 00:06:04.620
 And forgive us for all our sins.

00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:06.060
 We ask this in Jesus' name.

00:06:06.659 --> 00:06:07.000
 Amen.

00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:09.779
 Okay, I want to speak to the young folk for a moment.

00:06:09.939 --> 00:06:12.859
 And I can see that you're dotted about all over the place.

00:06:13.479 --> 00:06:16.399
 Today, I brought in an Advent calendar.

00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:18.239
 So put up your hand if you have an Advent calendar.

00:06:18.419 --> 00:06:19.579
 Let me see some hands go up.

00:06:19.579 --> 00:06:22.879
 I bet you some adults have one of these as well.

00:06:23.599 --> 00:06:24.579
 So, yeah, okay.

00:06:24.699 --> 00:06:26.120
 Quite a few of you have an Advent calendar.

00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:32.519
 An Advent calendar is a strange thing because the less that's left of it, the better.

00:06:33.459 --> 00:06:37.479
 Because the less that's left of it, then the closer we are to Christmas.

00:06:38.419 --> 00:06:46.199
 But, you know, it would be really strange if you got an Advent calendar and it didn't have any doors open by this stage in the month.

00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:50.399
 If you had an Advent calendar and you didn't actually bother to eat the chocolates.

00:06:50.599 --> 00:06:51.979
 That would be really odd.

00:06:52.219 --> 00:06:52.959
 Because you would get...

00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.420
 I knew somebody who had one like that last year, year before.

00:06:56.420 --> 00:06:59.980
 Halfway through December, there was still no doors that had been opened on the Advent calendar.

00:07:00.459 --> 00:07:01.560
 And I don't get that.

00:07:01.620 --> 00:07:07.419
 Because you get no benefit from the Advent calendar unless you open the doors.

00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:10.640
 And, you know, people are like that with Jesus as well.

00:07:10.980 --> 00:07:12.600
 Particularly at Christmas time.

00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:14.819
 Christmas, we should be remembering Jesus.

00:07:14.980 --> 00:07:15.720
 That he...

00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:17.040
 His birth into the world.

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:18.580
 It was an amazing event.

00:07:19.020 --> 00:07:20.980
 And the fact that he came to save us.

00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:25.680
 And yet there are people who celebrate Christmas and they forget about Jesus.

00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:32.980
 Now, if you forget about your Advent calendar for a day or two and you miss a few chocolates, that's not going to do you any harm.

00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:35.980
 It might actually do you some good to not eat so much chocolate.

00:07:36.699 --> 00:07:41.180
 But, you know, if we forget about Jesus, that will not be good for us at all.

00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:47.759
 So, I want you, if you have one of these, I want every single day that you open a door to have a chocolate.

00:07:48.420 --> 00:07:50.199
 I want you to remember Jesus.

00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:55.319
 And I want you to remember that Jesus came to save us from our sins.

00:07:55.819 --> 00:08:00.339
 So, every day when you have your chocolate, thank the Lord for Jesus.

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.219
 He came to save you.

00:08:02.860 --> 00:08:07.539
 And I hope and pray that you will grow up to trust and follow him.

00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:12.680
 We'll do the Lord's Prayer together now as a congregation.

00:08:14.019 --> 00:08:18.339
 Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

00:08:18.339 --> 00:08:20.179
 Thy kingdom come.

00:08:20.819 --> 00:08:24.259
 Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:27.139
 Give us this day our daily bread.

00:08:27.799 --> 00:08:31.799
 And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

00:08:32.100 --> 00:08:36.919
 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.659
 For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.

00:08:42.299 --> 00:08:42.759
 Amen.

00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.799
 I'm going to sing again now.

00:08:44.860 --> 00:08:48.600
 This time we're singing from Psalm 146 in the Scottish Psalter.

00:08:49.019 --> 00:08:51.399
 You'll find that on page 446.

00:08:57.179 --> 00:08:59.259
 Page 446.

00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:04.319
 Psalm 146.

00:09:04.319 --> 00:09:06.379
 And at verse 5, the top of the page,

00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:10.639
 singing to the end of the psalm.

00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:13.799
 Psalm 146 at verse 5.

00:09:14.299 --> 00:09:16.519
 Oh, happy is that man and blessed,

00:09:17.059 --> 00:09:19.000
 whom Jacob's God doth aid,

00:09:19.500 --> 00:09:21.779
 whose hope upon the Lord doth rest,

00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.919
 and on his God is stayed.

00:09:25.019 --> 00:09:25.879
 Psalm 146.

00:09:26.019 --> 00:09:28.960
 We're singing verses 5 to 10 to God's praise.

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:40.019
 O happy is that man and blessed,

00:09:40.019 --> 00:09:47.220
 whom Jacob's God doth aid,

00:09:47.220 --> 00:09:55.180
 whose hope upon the Lord doth rest,

00:09:55.179 --> 00:10:01.899
 and on his God is stayed.

00:10:01.899 --> 00:10:09.919
 Who made the earth and heavens high,

00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:16.919
 who made the swelling deep,

00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:24.919
 and all the cliffs within the sea,

00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:31.919
 who took the heaven of the Lord doth.

00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:40.099
 Who made the righteous judgment and saviour,

00:10:40.099 --> 00:10:46.479
 for those so blessed that he,

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:55.399
 who to the hungry giveth food,

00:10:55.480 --> 00:11:01.480
 God sets the listeners free.

00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:10.879
 The Lord doth give the blind their sight,

00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:17.480
 that the legend doth raise.

00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:24.480
 The Lord doth fear the wise,

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:32.480
 that walk in a bright place.

00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:41.539
 Let stranger's shield the widow's sting,

00:11:41.539 --> 00:11:47.480
 they o'er flat self-esteem,

00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:56.480
 but yet by him the wicked's clay,

00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:02.480
 turned up sight and shall be.

00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:11.539
 The Lord shall reign forevermore,

00:12:11.539 --> 00:12:17.480
 like God, O Zion, he.

00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:26.480
 Praise to all generations,

00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:32.480
 Praise to the Lord give thee.

00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:44.340
 We're going to read God's word now,

00:12:44.340 --> 00:12:45.899
 from the Old Testament,

00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:46.980
 in the book of Ruth.

00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.100
 So we're going to Bethlehem this morning,

00:12:51.259 --> 00:12:53.340
 but not for the birth of Jesus,

00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:57.840
 but for the story of one of his ancestors,

00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:03.840
 Ruth, from whom the Messiah was descended.

00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:06.940
 So we're going to read the first chapter of Ruth.

00:13:07.040 --> 00:13:08.220
 The first chapter of Ruth,

00:13:09.060 --> 00:13:13.500
 maybe on page 267 in your Bibles.

00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:17.680
 We'll read the whole of this chapter together.

00:13:17.820 --> 00:13:19.480
 So let's hear God's word.

00:13:20.259 --> 00:13:21.100
 Ruth chapter one.

00:13:23.340 --> 00:13:25.960
 In the days when the judges ruled,

00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:27.519
 there was a famine in the land,

00:13:27.940 --> 00:13:29.560
 and a man of Bethlehem in Judah

00:13:29.560 --> 00:13:32.519
 went to sojourn in the country of Moab,

00:13:33.060 --> 00:13:35.320
 he and his wife and his two sons.

00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:37.740
 The name of the man was Elimelech,

00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:40.100
 and the name of his wife, Naomi,

00:13:40.740 --> 00:13:41.960
 and the name of his two sons

00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:43.280
 were Malon and Kilion.

00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:47.080
 They were Ephratites from Bethlehem in Judah.

00:13:47.920 --> 00:13:49.600
 They went into the country of Moab

00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:50.480
 and remained there.

00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.340
 But Elimelech, the husband of Naomi, died,

00:13:54.800 --> 00:13:56.980
 and she was left with her two sons.

00:13:57.800 --> 00:13:59.580
 These took Moabite wives.

00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:01.159
 The name of one was Orpah

00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:02.980
 and the name of the other Ruth.

00:14:03.800 --> 00:14:05.620
 They lived there about ten years,

00:14:05.899 --> 00:14:08.300
 and both Malon and Kilion died,

00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.039
 so that the woman was left

00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:14.100
 without her two sons and her husband.

00:14:14.100 --> 00:14:17.060
 Then she arose with her daughters-in-law

00:14:17.060 --> 00:14:18.940
 to return from the country of Moab,

00:14:19.460 --> 00:14:21.360
 for she had heard in the fields of Moab

00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.200
 that the Lord had visited his people

00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:24.720
 and given them food.

00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:27.940
 So she set out from the place where she was

00:14:27.940 --> 00:14:29.940
 with her two daughters-in-law,

00:14:30.040 --> 00:14:30.920
 and they went on the way

00:14:30.920 --> 00:14:32.740
 to return to the land of Judah.

00:14:34.340 --> 00:14:36.860
 But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law,

00:14:36.860 --> 00:14:40.100
 Go, return each of you to her mother's house.

00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:42.899
 May the Lord deal kindly with you

00:14:42.899 --> 00:14:45.820
 as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.800
 The Lord grant that you may find rest

00:14:48.800 --> 00:14:50.360
 each of you in the house of her husband.

00:14:51.220 --> 00:14:52.300
 Then she kissed them,

00:14:52.940 --> 00:14:55.159
 and they lifted up their voices and wept.

00:14:55.899 --> 00:14:57.080
 And they said to her,

00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:59.740
 No, we will return with you to your people.

00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:01.899
 But Naomi said,

00:15:02.060 --> 00:15:03.060
 Turn back, my daughters.

00:15:03.580 --> 00:15:04.779
 Why will you go with me?

00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:06.940
 Have I yet sons in my womb

00:15:06.940 --> 00:15:08.500
 that they may become your husbands?

00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:10.519
 Turn back, my daughters.

00:15:10.779 --> 00:15:11.639
 Go your way.

00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:14.159
 For I am too old to have a husband.

00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:16.500
 If I should say I have hope,

00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:18.840
 even if I should have a husband this night

00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:19.919
 and should bear sons,

00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.580
 would you therefore wait till they were grown?

00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:25.180
 Would you therefore refrain from marrying?

00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:26.779
 No, my daughters,

00:15:27.100 --> 00:15:29.639
 for it is exceedingly bitter to me

00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:31.179
 for your sake,

00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:33.120
 that the hand of the Lord

00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.059
 has gone out against me.

00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.039
 Then they lifted up their voices and wept again.

00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:40.279
 And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law,

00:15:40.379 --> 00:15:41.639
 but Ruth clung to her.

00:15:42.379 --> 00:15:42.939
 And she said,

00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:44.559
 See, your sister-in-law has gone back

00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.340
 to her people and her gods.

00:15:47.379 --> 00:15:48.939
 We turn after your sister-in-law.

00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:50.659
 But Ruth said,

00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:52.819
 Do not urge me to leave you

00:15:52.819 --> 00:15:55.100
 or to return from following you,

00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:56.759
 for where you go, I will go,

00:15:57.399 --> 00:15:59.000
 and where you lodge, I will lodge.

00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:00.799
 Your people shall be my people,

00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:02.759
 and your God my God.

00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:05.019
 Where you die, I will die,

00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:06.620
 and there will I be buried.

00:16:07.299 --> 00:16:08.779
 May the Lord do so to me,

00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:09.559
 and more also,

00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:13.720
 if anything but death parts me from you.

00:16:15.019 --> 00:16:17.299
 And when Naomi saw that she was determined

00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:18.179
 to go with her,

00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:19.000
 she said,

00:16:19.059 --> 00:16:19.399
 No more.

00:16:20.139 --> 00:16:21.299
 So the two of them went on

00:16:21.299 --> 00:16:22.340
 until they came to Bethlehem.

00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:24.019
 And when they came to Bethlehem,

00:16:24.059 --> 00:16:26.139
 the whole town was stirred because of them.

00:16:26.139 --> 00:16:27.699
 And the woman said,

00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:28.699
 Is this Naomi?

00:16:29.539 --> 00:16:30.539
 She said to them,

00:16:30.939 --> 00:16:32.199
 Don't call me Naomi.

00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:34.059
 Call me Mara,

00:16:34.580 --> 00:16:36.059
 for the Almighty has dealt

00:16:36.059 --> 00:16:37.340
 very bitterly with me.

00:16:38.019 --> 00:16:39.039
 I went away full,

00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:42.100
 and the Lord has brought me back empty.

00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:43.699
 Why call me Naomi?

00:16:44.819 --> 00:16:47.059
 When the Lord has testified against me,

00:16:47.620 --> 00:16:50.819
 and the Almighty has brought calamity upon me.

00:16:51.780 --> 00:16:52.780
 So Naomi returned,

00:16:53.520 --> 00:16:54.720
 and Ruth the Moabite,

00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:56.940
 her daughter-in-law with her,

00:16:57.460 --> 00:16:59.000
 who returned from the country of Moab,

00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:01.220
 and they came to Bethlehem

00:17:01.220 --> 00:17:04.799
 at the beginning of barley harvest.

00:17:05.460 --> 00:17:05.759
 Amen.

00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:06.779
 This is the word of the Lord,

00:17:06.860 --> 00:17:08.120
 and we trust and we pray

00:17:08.120 --> 00:17:11.140
 that he will follow it with his blessing.

00:17:11.380 --> 00:17:12.620
 Let's just bow our heads once more

00:17:12.620 --> 00:17:13.820
 in a word of prayer.

00:17:13.900 --> 00:17:14.279
 Let's pray.

00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:14.380
 Amen.

00:17:15.820 --> 00:17:18.120
 Lord, we thank you for your word,

00:17:18.220 --> 00:17:18.620
 the Bible,

00:17:18.619 --> 00:17:20.259
 that is just so honest

00:17:20.259 --> 00:17:21.599
 and shares with us

00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:22.139
 the struggles

00:17:22.139 --> 00:17:24.339
 that your people have.

00:17:24.479 --> 00:17:25.439
 Most of us would

00:17:25.439 --> 00:17:27.639
 be fearful of using

00:17:27.639 --> 00:17:28.500
 the kind of words

00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:29.719
 that Naomi used

00:17:29.719 --> 00:17:30.839
 when she said

00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:31.579
 that the Almighty

00:17:31.579 --> 00:17:33.500
 has dealt very bitterly with me.

00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:36.239
 But not only did she say that and more,

00:17:36.339 --> 00:17:38.259
 but the Bible reports it for us,

00:17:38.899 --> 00:17:41.039
 and it doesn't condemn her for it.

00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:42.979
 Lord, her pain is evident,

00:17:43.219 --> 00:17:45.159
 and her pain is understandable.

00:17:45.659 --> 00:17:47.439
 After she had lost so much

00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:48.860
 that was precious to her

00:17:48.860 --> 00:17:50.200
 in the world.

00:17:51.059 --> 00:17:52.860
 And Lord, we want to pray today

00:17:52.860 --> 00:17:53.960
 for those who have pain

00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:55.480
 in their hearts

00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:56.779
 and those who are struggling

00:17:56.779 --> 00:17:58.259
 this morning.

00:17:58.519 --> 00:17:59.519
 We thank you, Lord,

00:17:59.580 --> 00:18:01.759
 that while we can feel powerless

00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:03.519
 to help people very often,

00:18:04.080 --> 00:18:05.580
 we can pray to a God

00:18:05.580 --> 00:18:06.240
 who is able.

00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:08.360
 And so we ask you today, Lord,

00:18:08.380 --> 00:18:09.360
 that you would come alongside

00:18:09.360 --> 00:18:11.299
 those who are struggling.

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:13.240
 The Bible tells us

00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:14.380
 that those that are broken

00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:15.079
 in their hearts

00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:17.640
 and grieved in their minds,

00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:18.559
 God heals,

00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:20.700
 and their painful wounds

00:18:20.700 --> 00:18:21.980
 he tenderly abides.

00:18:22.500 --> 00:18:23.819
 So, Lord, we ask that you

00:18:23.819 --> 00:18:25.160
 would deal tenderly

00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:26.099
 with all who face

00:18:26.099 --> 00:18:28.440
 challenging situations

00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:29.700
 in their own lives,

00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:30.500
 in their own homes,

00:18:30.620 --> 00:18:31.400
 in their own hearts,

00:18:31.579 --> 00:18:32.740
 in their own families today.

00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:33.920
 We pray, Lord,

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:35.000
 for those whose turmoil

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.120
 may be in their minds,

00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:38.640
 those who are cast down,

00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:40.759
 those who feel

00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:41.920
 that are in a dark place.

00:18:42.220 --> 00:18:44.400
 Lord, may you shine

00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:45.640
 your light of hope

00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:46.799
 into that darkness

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:49.240
 and transform their situations,

00:18:49.379 --> 00:18:49.779
 we pray.

00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:51.839
 Bless your word.

00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:53.059
 Bless the gospel today

00:18:53.059 --> 00:18:54.339
 as it is preached

00:18:54.339 --> 00:18:55.420
 up and down our land

00:18:55.420 --> 00:18:56.720
 and to the ends of the earth.

00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:57.480
 We pray, Lord,

00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:58.460
 for the preaching

00:18:58.460 --> 00:18:59.480
 of your word here

00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:00.759
 and in the other churches

00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:01.519
 in the town

00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:03.799
 and throughout this presbytery.

00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:05.579
 We thank you, Lord,

00:19:05.619 --> 00:19:06.879
 that we have a promise

00:19:06.879 --> 00:19:07.619
 that your word

00:19:07.619 --> 00:19:09.920
 will not return to you empty.

00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:11.420
 It will accomplish

00:19:11.420 --> 00:19:12.980
 your purposes.

00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:13.480
 And, Lord,

00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:14.900
 we pray that you would purpose

00:19:14.900 --> 00:19:17.160
 that it would do us good today,

00:19:17.740 --> 00:19:18.460
 that your word

00:19:18.460 --> 00:19:19.279
 would be the means

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:20.080
 of drawing us

00:19:20.080 --> 00:19:21.200
 closer to yourself.

00:19:21.800 --> 00:19:22.779
 And we pray, Lord,

00:19:22.900 --> 00:19:25.500
 that you would send workers

00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:26.800
 into your harvest field.

00:19:26.900 --> 00:19:27.500
 You've asked us

00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:29.180
 to pray that prayer,

00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:31.000
 to pray for laborers, Lord.

00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:32.640
 And you know

00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:34.480
 that the need is great

00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:35.980
 within this presbytery,

00:19:36.140 --> 00:19:37.800
 within our presbytery

00:19:37.800 --> 00:19:38.500
 in the north

00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:40.000
 and sky in Westeros.

00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:40.299
 Lord,

00:19:40.380 --> 00:19:42.039
 we ask that you

00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:43.599
 would be calling men

00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:44.299
 into ministry

00:19:44.299 --> 00:19:45.200
 and calling others

00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.160
 to serve you

00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:48.799
 in different ways

00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:49.660
 and that you, Lord,

00:19:49.700 --> 00:19:50.359
 would provide

00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:52.200
 for the need is great.

00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:53.460
 Bless this congregation.

00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:55.000
 Be with its minister,

00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:56.200
 its office bearers.

00:19:56.900 --> 00:19:57.839
 Be with all those

00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.400
 who are members

00:19:58.400 --> 00:19:59.720
 and adherents of it, Lord.

00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:00.619
 Bless the children

00:20:00.619 --> 00:20:01.640
 who've just gone out

00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:02.500
 to Sunday school

00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:03.119
 and creche.

00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:04.000
 And, Lord,

00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:05.039
 we pray that you would be

00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:06.399
 at work in their young lives.

00:20:06.539 --> 00:20:07.220
 Help calm them

00:20:07.220 --> 00:20:08.799
 in all the responsibilities

00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:09.579
 that he bears.

00:20:09.700 --> 00:20:10.339
 Be with himself

00:20:10.339 --> 00:20:10.839
 and Joan

00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:11.839
 and with the family

00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:13.500
 and uphold them, Lord,

00:20:13.619 --> 00:20:14.740
 and equip them

00:20:14.740 --> 00:20:15.859
 for the work, we pray.

00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:18.059
 And bless the congregation

00:20:18.059 --> 00:20:19.379
 in all its efforts

00:20:19.379 --> 00:20:21.259
 to reach out to others.

00:20:21.379 --> 00:20:22.799
 For the Christmas outreach

00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:23.639
 next Saturday

00:20:23.639 --> 00:20:24.659
 and the family service

00:20:24.659 --> 00:20:25.220
 on Sunday,

00:20:25.659 --> 00:20:26.279
 we ask, Lord,

00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:27.339
 that you would be in it

00:20:27.339 --> 00:20:28.460
 and that you would be

00:20:28.460 --> 00:20:29.659
 using these means

00:20:29.659 --> 00:20:31.019
 to draw people

00:20:31.019 --> 00:20:31.680
 to yourself.

00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:32.779
 So bless us now

00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:34.320
 as we turn to your word,

00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:35.480
 as we continue to sing it

00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:36.140
 and as we shortly

00:20:36.140 --> 00:20:36.960
 will study it.

00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:37.880
 We ask, Lord,

00:20:37.900 --> 00:20:38.620
 that you would bring

00:20:38.620 --> 00:20:40.539
 this book alive to us

00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:42.560
 and bring us alive to it.

00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:43.920
 And may your Holy Spirit

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:44.840
 be our teacher

00:20:44.840 --> 00:20:46.720
 and our guide today

00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.680
 and make us willing students

00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:50.120
 of your word,

00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:51.660
 ready to learn from it

00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:53.820
 and to be changed by it.

00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:55.259
 And all of these things

00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:55.900
 we ask, Lord,

00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:56.880
 we ask with the cleansing

00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:57.560
 and the forgiveness

00:20:57.560 --> 00:20:58.360
 of our sins.

00:20:58.920 --> 00:20:59.759
 In Jesus' name.

00:21:00.259 --> 00:21:00.580
 Amen.

00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:03.580
 We're going to sing

00:21:03.580 --> 00:21:04.400
 once more this time

00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:05.759
 from Psalm 55

00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:08.279
 in Sing Psalms.

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:10.100
 You'll find that

00:21:10.100 --> 00:21:11.100
 on page 71.

00:21:15.600 --> 00:21:17.279
 Sing Psalms 55

00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:20.779
 on page 71.

00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:22.580
 And we're going to sing

00:21:22.580 --> 00:21:23.220
 from the beginning

00:21:23.220 --> 00:21:24.620
 down to the verse

00:21:24.620 --> 00:21:26.519
 marked 8.

00:21:28.700 --> 00:21:29.660
 Page 71.

00:21:29.660 --> 00:21:30.480
 O God,

00:21:30.600 --> 00:21:32.220
 please listen to my prayer.

00:21:32.840 --> 00:21:34.060
 Do not ignore my plea.

00:21:34.700 --> 00:21:35.560
 My anxious thoughts

00:21:35.560 --> 00:21:36.560
 make me distraught.

00:21:37.100 --> 00:21:37.560
 O hear

00:21:37.560 --> 00:21:39.519
 and answer me.

00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:40.620
 Psalm 55.

00:21:40.840 --> 00:21:41.240
 We're going to sing

00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:42.440
 verses 1 to 8

00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:43.220
 to God's praise.

00:21:43.220 --> 00:21:55.480
 O God, please listen to my prayer.

00:21:55.480 --> 00:22:01.539
 Do not ignore my plea.

00:22:01.539 --> 00:22:03.440
 O God, please listen to my prayer.

00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:06.920
 My anxious thoughts

00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:11.319
 make me distraught.

00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:17.759
 O hear and answer me.

00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:27.200
 I'm troubled by the voice of hope.

00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:33.960
 By their malicious fear

00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:42.660
 For they bring suffering to me

00:22:42.660 --> 00:22:50.200
 The hatred I must bear

00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:59.539
 Within the anguish lifts my heart

00:22:59.539 --> 00:23:06.080
 It's ever shot the near

00:23:06.080 --> 00:23:14.620
 I tremble out of dead and fire

00:23:14.619 --> 00:23:22.259
 I know the wealth I fear

00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:31.459
 Though that I lie not on the wings

00:23:31.459 --> 00:23:37.959
 Then I would fly away

00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:42.460
 And be at rest

00:23:42.460 --> 00:23:46.880
 I'd live from here

00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:53.960
 And in the desert stay

00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:58.960
 Then would I do

00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:03.180
 My hiding place

00:24:03.180 --> 00:24:10.060
 Forever you see my fight

00:24:10.060 --> 00:24:18.180
 But from the raging of the storm

00:24:18.740 --> 00:24:25.180
 And from the tempest might

00:24:25.180 --> 00:24:33.799
 As we seek God's help

00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:35.060
 Can we turn back in our Bibles

00:24:35.060 --> 00:24:36.519
 To the passage that we read together

00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:38.640
 In the book of Ruth

00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:41.080
 And we're in chapter 1 today

00:24:41.080 --> 00:24:43.799
 We're looking at most of this chapter

00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:46.880
 But we can read again a verse 21

00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:49.259
 Ruth chapter 1

00:24:49.259 --> 00:24:51.220
 And at verse 21

00:24:51.220 --> 00:24:53.720
 Naomi is speaking

00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:54.560
 And she says this

00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:55.559
 I went away full

00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:59.799
 And the Lord has brought me back empty

00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:03.000
 Why call me Naomi

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:06.259
 When the Lord has testified against me

00:25:06.259 --> 00:25:11.359
 And the Almighty has brought calamity upon me

00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:12.240
 I went away full

00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.980
 And the Lord has brought me back empty

00:25:15.980 --> 00:25:21.240
 If this first chapter of the book of Ruth

00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:22.839
 Were to be made into a film

00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:24.359
 It might be called

00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:26.000
 Three Funerals

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:27.339
 And a Famine

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:30.339
 It is a chapter filled with hardship

00:25:30.339 --> 00:25:32.480
 And with pain

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:34.359
 It's a story of a family going through

00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:36.859
 An incredibly challenging

00:25:36.859 --> 00:25:40.240
 And sad experience

00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:42.119
 But it also reminds us

00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:43.799
 That God is interested

00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:45.500
 In our families

00:25:45.500 --> 00:25:47.619
 The book that comes before it

00:25:47.619 --> 00:25:48.619
 The book of Judges

00:25:48.619 --> 00:25:48.619


00:25:48.619 --> 00:25:50.460
 Gives us an insight into

00:25:50.460 --> 00:25:52.660
 The life of the Israelites

00:25:52.660 --> 00:25:54.940
 In broad brush strokes

00:25:54.940 --> 00:25:55.700
 You could say

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:57.559
 But then when we come into Ruth

00:25:57.559 --> 00:25:59.400
 It's as if the camera zooms

00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:00.700
 Right in

00:26:00.700 --> 00:26:03.119
 To focus on one household

00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:05.640
 And one family

00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:07.520
 And this particular family

00:26:07.520 --> 00:26:09.000
 Is a family that is struggling

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:11.540
 A family that is hurting

00:26:11.540 --> 00:26:15.100
 And if the camera were to zoom in

00:26:15.100 --> 00:26:17.200
 On your family today

00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:22.480
 Might it be a similar picture

00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:24.480
 Difficulties

00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:25.860
 Trials

00:26:25.860 --> 00:26:27.340
 Struggles

00:26:27.340 --> 00:26:28.759
 Pain

00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:31.819
 But what this book reminds us of

00:26:31.819 --> 00:26:33.500
 Is that God knows

00:26:33.500 --> 00:26:35.220
 What's going on

00:26:35.220 --> 00:26:37.160
 As you read through this chapter

00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:39.279
 He ensures that

00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:41.759
 The name of every person

00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:42.519
 In this family

00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:43.920
 Is recorded then

00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:45.640
 A reminder that

00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.539
 God knows each of us by name

00:26:48.539 --> 00:26:51.480
 God knows us intimately

00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:54.099
 And God knows whatever struggles

00:26:54.099 --> 00:26:54.779
 Or hurts

00:26:54.779 --> 00:26:55.440
 Or pains

00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:56.099
 Or trials

00:26:56.099 --> 00:26:58.259
 That you might be experiencing today

00:26:58.259 --> 00:27:00.839
 And this book of Ruth

00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:02.599
 Also reminds us of this fact

00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:03.420
 That the Bible

00:27:03.420 --> 00:27:04.879
 Always deals

00:27:04.879 --> 00:27:07.099
 With reality

00:27:07.099 --> 00:27:09.980
 There's no sugar coating here

00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:11.619
 No airbrushing

00:27:11.619 --> 00:27:12.519
 Of the fact that

00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:14.720
 Life is incredibly tough

00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:17.220
 There are times when it's painful

00:27:17.220 --> 00:27:20.140
 There are times when it's really sad

00:27:20.140 --> 00:27:22.759
 And yet even in the midst

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:24.940
 Of these sad circumstances

00:27:24.940 --> 00:27:26.319
 In Ruth chapter 1

00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:28.140
 God is at work here

00:27:28.140 --> 00:27:29.759
 God's at work

00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:31.580
 And the heartwarming

00:27:31.580 --> 00:27:33.580
 Aspect of this story

00:27:33.580 --> 00:27:34.560
 Is that Ruth

00:27:34.560 --> 00:27:37.380
 This complete outsider

00:27:37.380 --> 00:27:39.300
 A Moabite

00:27:39.300 --> 00:27:42.240
 From among the enemies

00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:43.180
 Of God's people

00:27:43.180 --> 00:27:44.100
 She comes

00:27:44.100 --> 00:27:46.520
 To be

00:27:46.520 --> 00:27:49.600
 Attached to the people of God

00:27:49.600 --> 00:27:51.120
 And more than that

00:27:51.120 --> 00:27:52.160
 She comes to trust

00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:53.460
 The Lord

00:27:53.460 --> 00:27:55.220
 And even more than that

00:27:55.220 --> 00:27:57.940
 The Lord Jesus himself

00:27:57.940 --> 00:27:59.039
 Is descended

00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:00.380
 From her

00:28:00.380 --> 00:28:01.200
 You don't need to read

00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:01.759
 Very far

00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:02.860
 Into the genealogy

00:28:02.860 --> 00:28:03.920
 At the beginning

00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:05.640
 Of the New Testament

00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:07.220
 In Matthew chapter 1

00:28:07.220 --> 00:28:09.039
 To find the name

00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:11.240
 Of this outsider

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:12.400
 Ruth

00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:14.460
 Amongst the ancestors

00:28:14.460 --> 00:28:16.120
 Of Jesus

00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:18.639
 So God's great plan

00:28:18.639 --> 00:28:19.500
 Of salvation

00:28:19.500 --> 00:28:20.559
 For the world

00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:22.819
 His plan for the coming

00:28:22.819 --> 00:28:23.419
 Of the Messiah

00:28:23.419 --> 00:28:24.739
 It's being worked out

00:28:24.739 --> 00:28:25.699
 Right here

00:28:25.699 --> 00:28:26.579
 In this chapter

00:28:26.579 --> 00:28:28.000
 Among the mess

00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:29.699
 And the misery

00:28:29.699 --> 00:28:31.619
 Ruth

00:28:31.619 --> 00:28:34.139
 Is one of only two women

00:28:34.139 --> 00:28:35.500
 Who have a book

00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:36.379
 Of the Bible

00:28:36.379 --> 00:28:37.299
 Named after them

00:28:37.299 --> 00:28:37.939
 The other is

00:28:37.939 --> 00:28:38.559
 Esther

00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:39.799
 And they're two

00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:41.200
 Very different people

00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:42.659
 Esther was a queen

00:28:42.659 --> 00:28:44.599
 Who lived in a palace

00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:46.899
 Ruth was a peasant

00:28:46.899 --> 00:28:48.700
 Who lived

00:28:48.700 --> 00:28:49.980
 In poverty

00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:52.019
 Massively different

00:28:52.019 --> 00:28:53.000
 Circumstances

00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:54.480
 Opposite ends

00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:55.819
 Of the social spectrum

00:28:55.819 --> 00:28:57.940
 And yet God cared

00:28:57.940 --> 00:28:59.460
 For both of them

00:28:59.460 --> 00:29:00.680
 So today

00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:01.460
 We're just going to study

00:29:01.460 --> 00:29:02.500
 This first chapter

00:29:02.500 --> 00:29:03.519
 In the book of Ruth

00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:05.259
 You need to go home

00:29:05.259 --> 00:29:06.059
 And read the rest

00:29:06.059 --> 00:29:06.720
 Of the story

00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:07.319
 You may already

00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:08.180
 Be familiar with it

00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:08.839
 Maybe you're not

00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:10.779
 But in this first chapter

00:29:10.779 --> 00:29:12.399
 The focus is actually

00:29:12.399 --> 00:29:13.459
 More on Naomi

00:29:13.459 --> 00:29:15.659
 Than it is on Ruth

00:29:15.659 --> 00:29:16.599
 So we'll spend a little

00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:17.119
 Of our time

00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:17.959
 Talking about Ruth

00:29:17.959 --> 00:29:19.500
 But most of our time

00:29:19.500 --> 00:29:20.759
 Will be focused

00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:22.339
 On Naomi

00:29:22.339 --> 00:29:23.500
 So I want to look at this

00:29:23.500 --> 00:29:24.319
 Under four headings

00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:25.079
 This morning

00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:27.299
 First of all

00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:27.919
 The problem

00:29:27.919 --> 00:29:29.339
 This famine

00:29:29.339 --> 00:29:30.220
 That caused them

00:29:30.220 --> 00:29:31.059
 To have to leave

00:29:31.059 --> 00:29:31.379
 Their homes

00:29:31.379 --> 00:29:31.919
 The problem

00:29:31.919 --> 00:29:33.319
 And then the parting

00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:35.039
 There are several

00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:35.899
 Partings

00:29:35.899 --> 00:29:36.740
 Bereavements

00:29:36.740 --> 00:29:37.740
 In this chapter

00:29:37.740 --> 00:29:39.079
 And then thirdly

00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:39.759
 The pledge

00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:40.920
 We'll look at Ruth

00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:42.099
 As she pledges

00:29:42.099 --> 00:29:44.559
 Herself to Naomi

00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:45.880
 And to her people

00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:46.940
 And to her God

00:29:46.940 --> 00:29:47.640
 The pledge

00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:48.420
 And then finally

00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:49.140
 The poverty

00:29:49.140 --> 00:29:51.420
 From the verse

00:29:51.420 --> 00:29:51.819
 That we took

00:29:51.819 --> 00:29:52.500
 As our text

00:29:52.500 --> 00:29:53.440
 Where Naomi

00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:54.279
 Talks about

00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:55.500
 Going out full

00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:57.079
 And coming back

00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:57.920
 Empty

00:29:57.920 --> 00:29:58.799
 So we'll break it up

00:29:58.799 --> 00:29:59.660
 Into these four sections

00:29:59.660 --> 00:30:00.559
 And we'll work our way

00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:01.680
 Through the chapter

00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:02.220
 The problem

00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:02.819
 The parting

00:30:02.819 --> 00:30:04.000
 The pledge

00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:05.839
 And the poverty

00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:06.759
 So let's begin

00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:08.240
 With the problem

00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:09.939
 What is the problem here

00:30:09.939 --> 00:30:10.919
 Well verse 1

00:30:10.919 --> 00:30:12.000
 Sets the scene

00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:12.659
 For us

00:30:12.659 --> 00:30:13.899
 By telling us

00:30:13.899 --> 00:30:14.899
 That this took place

00:30:14.899 --> 00:30:15.939
 In the days

00:30:15.939 --> 00:30:17.799
 When the judges ruled

00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:19.799
 And that immediately

00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:20.859
 Alerts us to the fact

00:30:20.859 --> 00:30:21.899
 That these were dark

00:30:21.899 --> 00:30:23.759
 And difficult days

00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:24.939
 In Israel

00:30:24.939 --> 00:30:25.700
 We know that

00:30:25.700 --> 00:30:26.500
 Because you only have

00:30:26.500 --> 00:30:27.819
 To look across the page

00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:28.919
 To the end

00:30:28.919 --> 00:30:29.919
 Of the book of Judges

00:30:29.919 --> 00:30:30.559
 To find out

00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:31.480
 What these days

00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:32.319
 Were like

00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:33.319
 The closing verse

00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:34.180
 Of the book of Judges

00:30:34.180 --> 00:30:35.200
 Says in those days

00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:36.440
 There was no king

00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:36.900
 In Israel

00:30:36.900 --> 00:30:38.120
 Everyone did

00:30:38.120 --> 00:30:39.059
 What was right

00:30:39.059 --> 00:30:41.900
 In his own eyes

00:30:41.900 --> 00:30:43.559
 There was no leadership

00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:45.140
 And the people

00:30:45.140 --> 00:30:46.740
 Had drifted away

00:30:46.740 --> 00:30:47.620
 From the faith

00:30:47.620 --> 00:30:49.620
 And then the next thing

00:30:49.620 --> 00:30:50.259
 You find out

00:30:50.259 --> 00:30:52.400
 In Ruth chapter 1

00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:54.079
 It's also something

00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:55.099
 That should surprise us

00:30:55.099 --> 00:30:55.460
 That is that

00:30:55.460 --> 00:30:56.240
 There was famine

00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:57.299
 In Bethlehem

00:30:57.299 --> 00:30:59.200
 Because the very name

00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:00.120
 Bethlehem

00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:01.699
 It means house of bread

00:31:01.699 --> 00:31:03.399
 And it was given

00:31:03.399 --> 00:31:04.439
 Part of the reason

00:31:04.439 --> 00:31:05.099
 It was given that name

00:31:05.099 --> 00:31:06.919
 Was it was a fertile place

00:31:06.919 --> 00:31:08.979
 So it was unusual

00:31:08.979 --> 00:31:10.099
 To have famine

00:31:10.099 --> 00:31:11.479
 In Bethlehem

00:31:11.479 --> 00:31:13.619
 And then we meet

00:31:13.619 --> 00:31:14.099
 The family

00:31:14.099 --> 00:31:16.519
 In verse 2

00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:18.899
 All of them are named

00:31:18.899 --> 00:31:20.139
 And we're told

00:31:20.139 --> 00:31:20.959
 That they decide

00:31:20.959 --> 00:31:22.719
 To go to Moab

00:31:22.719 --> 00:31:25.319
 For a while

00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:26.779
 Verse 1 uses

00:31:26.779 --> 00:31:28.119
 The word soldier

00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:29.639
 Which just means

00:31:29.639 --> 00:31:32.199
 A short trip

00:31:32.199 --> 00:31:34.079
 But clearly

00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:35.079
 The situation changes

00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:35.879
 Because by the end

00:31:35.879 --> 00:31:36.379
 Of verse 2

00:31:36.379 --> 00:31:36.939
 We're told that

00:31:36.939 --> 00:31:39.219
 They remained there

00:31:39.219 --> 00:31:40.159
 So the plan

00:31:40.159 --> 00:31:41.039
 Has changed

00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:41.899
 They're going to go

00:31:41.899 --> 00:31:42.539
 For a time

00:31:42.539 --> 00:31:43.339
 Because there's famine

00:31:43.339 --> 00:31:44.099
 But they end up

00:31:44.099 --> 00:31:45.239
 Staying there

00:31:45.239 --> 00:31:46.399
 Now going to Moab

00:31:46.399 --> 00:31:47.919
 Is a strange choice

00:31:47.919 --> 00:31:48.679
 Of place

00:31:48.679 --> 00:31:49.859
 To go

00:31:49.859 --> 00:31:52.079
 Because Moab

00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:53.899
 Was enemy territory

00:31:53.899 --> 00:31:54.679
 The Moabites

00:31:54.679 --> 00:31:55.299
 Were enemies

00:31:55.299 --> 00:31:56.159
 Of the people

00:31:56.159 --> 00:31:57.399
 Of God

00:31:57.399 --> 00:31:59.839
 If you read

00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:00.279
 Through the book

00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:00.720
 Of Judges

00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:01.220
 You'll find that

00:32:01.220 --> 00:32:01.740
 Moab

00:32:01.740 --> 00:32:02.859
 Had attacked

00:32:02.859 --> 00:32:04.159
 And subdued Israel

00:32:04.159 --> 00:32:05.180
 Ruled over them

00:32:05.180 --> 00:32:06.559
 For 18 years

00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:08.220
 So it's an odd

00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:08.740
 Place

00:32:08.740 --> 00:32:09.940
 To go

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:11.759
 It's even worth

00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:12.319
 Bearing in mind

00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:13.559
 Where Moab

00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:14.480
 Came from

00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:17.879
 The Moabites

00:32:17.879 --> 00:32:18.379
 Were descended

00:32:18.379 --> 00:32:19.039
 From Lot

00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:20.960
 From that

00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:22.759
 Incestuous

00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:23.500
 Encounter

00:32:23.500 --> 00:32:24.019
 He had

00:32:24.019 --> 00:32:24.599
 With his own

00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:25.019
 Daughter

00:32:25.019 --> 00:32:26.579
 When he got

00:32:26.579 --> 00:32:27.019
 Drunk

00:32:27.019 --> 00:32:28.759
 And one of

00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:29.359
 The children

00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:30.579
 Born

00:32:30.579 --> 00:32:31.079
 Was called

00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:31.619
 Moab

00:32:31.619 --> 00:32:33.240
 The Moabites

00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:33.940
 Came from there

00:32:33.940 --> 00:32:34.359
 And they were

00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:36.079
 Long term

00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:36.920
 Enemies

00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:37.579
 Of the people

00:32:37.579 --> 00:32:38.160
 Of God

00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:39.480
 And it's just

00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:40.500
 A reminder to us

00:32:40.500 --> 00:32:41.079
 That sin

00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:41.779
 Has long

00:32:41.779 --> 00:32:42.380
 Lasting

00:32:42.380 --> 00:32:43.500
 Consequences

00:32:43.500 --> 00:32:45.579
 Decades

00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:46.279
 And decades

00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:47.079
 And decades

00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:47.460
 Later

00:32:47.460 --> 00:32:48.420
 The Moabites

00:32:48.420 --> 00:32:49.460
 Were a thorn

00:32:49.460 --> 00:32:50.640
 In the side

00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:51.359
 Of God's

00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:52.180
 People

00:32:52.180 --> 00:32:54.920
 We meet

00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:55.460
 Elimelech

00:32:55.460 --> 00:32:56.279
 He's the head

00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:56.900
 Of this home

00:32:56.900 --> 00:32:57.360
 His name

00:32:57.360 --> 00:32:58.180
 Means my God

00:32:58.180 --> 00:32:58.720
 As king

00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:01.060
 Although

00:33:01.060 --> 00:33:02.539
 Some will

00:33:02.539 --> 00:33:03.259
 Suggest that

00:33:03.259 --> 00:33:03.900
 He's not

00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:04.440
 Really living

00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:05.060
 Up to his

00:33:05.060 --> 00:33:05.360
 Name

00:33:05.360 --> 00:33:07.080
 If he's

00:33:07.080 --> 00:33:08.060
 Leaving Bethlehem

00:33:08.060 --> 00:33:08.480
 The house

00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:09.140
 Of bread

00:33:09.140 --> 00:33:10.220
 Where God

00:33:10.220 --> 00:33:10.620
 Has blessed

00:33:10.620 --> 00:33:10.900
 Them

00:33:10.900 --> 00:33:12.400
 To go

00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:13.500
 To enemy

00:33:13.500 --> 00:33:14.279
 Territory

00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:15.779
 To Moab

00:33:15.779 --> 00:33:18.019
 Well maybe

00:33:18.019 --> 00:33:19.099
 That's the case

00:33:19.099 --> 00:33:19.759
 The passage

00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:20.940
 Doesn't say

00:33:20.940 --> 00:33:21.639
 So it doesn't

00:33:21.639 --> 00:33:22.059
 Say that he

00:33:22.059 --> 00:33:22.539
 Was wrong

00:33:22.539 --> 00:33:23.079
 To go

00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:24.940
 Should Elimelech

00:33:24.940 --> 00:33:25.460
 Have stayed

00:33:25.460 --> 00:33:27.680
 In Bethlehem

00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:28.700
 Even when

00:33:28.700 --> 00:33:29.460
 There was famine

00:33:29.460 --> 00:33:31.279
 Would you

00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:31.599
 Have

00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:33.639
 It is hard

00:33:33.639 --> 00:33:34.259
 To study this

00:33:34.259 --> 00:33:35.019
 Chapter and

00:33:35.019 --> 00:33:35.839
 Study this book

00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:36.740
 Without forming

00:33:36.740 --> 00:33:37.220
 A view

00:33:37.220 --> 00:33:38.480
 Over whether

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:39.200
 He was wrong

00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:39.799
 To go

00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:41.139
 Or not

00:33:41.140 --> 00:33:41.780
 But more

00:33:41.780 --> 00:33:42.380
 Important

00:33:42.380 --> 00:33:43.840
 Than what

00:33:43.840 --> 00:33:44.480
 We think

00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:45.100
 Of his

00:33:45.100 --> 00:33:45.800
 Decision

00:33:45.800 --> 00:33:47.520
 Is how

00:33:47.520 --> 00:33:48.460
 We respond

00:33:48.460 --> 00:33:50.480
 When trials

00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:51.540
 And difficulties

00:33:51.540 --> 00:33:53.100
 And challenging

00:33:53.100 --> 00:33:54.000
 Circumstances

00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:54.660
 Face us

00:33:54.660 --> 00:33:55.740
 There are three

00:33:55.740 --> 00:33:56.420
 Main options

00:33:56.420 --> 00:33:57.660
 That are open

00:33:57.660 --> 00:33:58.060
 To you

00:33:58.060 --> 00:33:59.140
 When life

00:33:59.140 --> 00:33:59.780
 Gets difficult

00:33:59.780 --> 00:34:01.500
 Escape

00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:03.220
 Try and run

00:34:03.220 --> 00:34:03.840
 From it

00:34:03.840 --> 00:34:05.880
 Endure

00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:08.220
 Simply put up

00:34:08.220 --> 00:34:08.960
 With it in some

00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:10.099
 Stoic kind

00:34:10.099 --> 00:34:10.519
 Of way

00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:12.679
 Or embrace

00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:13.119
 It

00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:14.960
 See it as

00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:16.280
 Part of God's

00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:16.980
 Plan for your

00:34:16.980 --> 00:34:17.259
 Life

00:34:17.259 --> 00:34:17.519
 Now

00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:18.980
 Embrace might

00:34:18.980 --> 00:34:19.739
 Be too strong

00:34:19.739 --> 00:34:20.259
 A word

00:34:20.259 --> 00:34:21.079
 I used it

00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:21.320
 Obviously

00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:21.679
 Because the

00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:22.059
 Other two

00:34:22.059 --> 00:34:22.900
 Were ease

00:34:22.900 --> 00:34:24.420
 But just

00:34:24.420 --> 00:34:25.139
 Simply

00:34:25.139 --> 00:34:26.219
 Accepting

00:34:26.219 --> 00:34:27.739
 This is what

00:34:27.739 --> 00:34:28.400
 God has

00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:28.980
 For me

00:34:28.980 --> 00:34:29.639
 Just now

00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:31.039
 That is how

00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:31.559
 We should

00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:31.940
 Deal

00:34:31.940 --> 00:34:33.500
 With our

00:34:33.500 --> 00:34:34.099
 Trials

00:34:34.099 --> 00:34:35.539
 But I'm not

00:34:35.539 --> 00:34:35.920
 Saying it's

00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:36.480
 Easy to do

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:36.759
 So

00:34:36.759 --> 00:34:38.000
 It wasn't

00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:38.739
 Easy for Elimelech

00:34:38.739 --> 00:34:39.179
 He took the

00:34:39.179 --> 00:34:39.679
 Other option

00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:40.440
 He went

00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:40.719
 For the

00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:41.199
 Escape

00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:41.519
 Route

00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:42.639
 But that's

00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:43.119
 The problem

00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:43.440
 That he

00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:43.659
 Faced

00:34:43.659 --> 00:34:43.960
 There was

00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:44.519
 Famine

00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:45.579
 And he

00:34:45.579 --> 00:34:45.819
 Had a

00:34:45.819 --> 00:34:46.179
 Family

00:34:46.179 --> 00:34:47.059
 Who were

00:34:47.059 --> 00:34:47.419
 Hungry

00:34:47.419 --> 00:34:48.199
 So that's

00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:48.719
 Our first

00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:49.139
 Point today

00:34:49.139 --> 00:34:49.559
 The problem

00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:50.039
 Life was

00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:50.759
 Incredibly

00:34:50.759 --> 00:34:51.480
 Difficult

00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:52.980
 For this

00:34:52.980 --> 00:34:53.759
 Family

00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:54.540
 But we're

00:34:54.540 --> 00:34:54.680
 Going to

00:34:54.680 --> 00:34:55.080
 Look secondly

00:34:55.080 --> 00:34:55.500
 At the

00:34:55.500 --> 00:34:56.120
 Parting

00:34:56.120 --> 00:34:57.920
 Life

00:34:57.920 --> 00:34:58.140
 Wasn't

00:34:58.140 --> 00:34:58.300
 Going to

00:34:58.300 --> 00:34:58.420
 Get

00:34:58.420 --> 00:34:58.820
 Easier

00:34:58.820 --> 00:34:59.860
 By taking

00:34:59.860 --> 00:35:00.640
 The escape

00:35:00.640 --> 00:35:01.460
 Route

00:35:01.460 --> 00:35:02.360
 The very

00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:02.920
 Next thing

00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:03.520
 We're told

00:35:03.520 --> 00:35:04.600
 After we

00:35:04.600 --> 00:35:04.880
 Read that

00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:05.280
 They go to

00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:05.580
 Moab

00:35:05.580 --> 00:35:06.340
 Is that

00:35:06.340 --> 00:35:07.020
 Elimelech

00:35:07.020 --> 00:35:07.900
 Died

00:35:07.900 --> 00:35:10.300
 How tough

00:35:10.300 --> 00:35:10.920
 Was that

00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:12.340
 They're in a

00:35:12.340 --> 00:35:13.000
 New place

00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:14.040
 Unfamiliar

00:35:14.040 --> 00:35:14.800
 Territory

00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:16.260
 And the

00:35:16.260 --> 00:35:16.760
 Head of the

00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:17.240
 Home is

00:35:17.240 --> 00:35:17.540
 Gone

00:35:17.539 --> 00:35:19.199
 Now

00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:20.460
 There must

00:35:20.460 --> 00:35:20.659
 Have been

00:35:20.659 --> 00:35:21.139
 Some good

00:35:21.139 --> 00:35:21.759
 Times in

00:35:21.759 --> 00:35:22.239
 Moab as

00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:22.699
 Well because

00:35:22.699 --> 00:35:23.360
 They celebrated

00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:24.460
 Two weddings

00:35:24.460 --> 00:35:24.960
 While they

00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:25.219
 Were there

00:35:25.219 --> 00:35:25.539
 The two

00:35:25.539 --> 00:35:25.800
 Boys

00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:26.159
 Marlon

00:35:26.159 --> 00:35:26.340
 And

00:35:26.340 --> 00:35:26.639
 Killian

00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:26.940
 Found

00:35:26.940 --> 00:35:27.279
 Wives

00:35:27.279 --> 00:35:27.539
 And got

00:35:27.539 --> 00:35:27.880
 Married

00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:29.699
 But clearly

00:35:29.699 --> 00:35:31.039
 The good

00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:31.759
 Times were

00:35:31.759 --> 00:35:32.960
 Short lived

00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:34.719
 Within ten

00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:35.300
 Years

00:35:35.300 --> 00:35:36.940
 It had all

00:35:36.940 --> 00:35:37.500
 Fallen

00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:37.920
 Apart

00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:39.380
 And I've

00:35:39.380 --> 00:35:39.699
 Called the

00:35:39.699 --> 00:35:40.119
 Second point

00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:40.779
 The parting

00:35:40.779 --> 00:35:41.380
 Because there

00:35:41.380 --> 00:35:42.079
 Are repeated

00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:43.039
 Partings

00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:44.059
 If you look

00:35:44.059 --> 00:35:44.460
 At verse

00:35:44.460 --> 00:35:44.980
 Five

00:35:44.980 --> 00:35:45.360
 It says

00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:45.840
 The woman

00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:46.679
 Was left

00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:47.400
 Without

00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:48.340
 Her two

00:35:48.340 --> 00:35:48.940
 Sons

00:35:48.940 --> 00:35:50.800
 And her

00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:51.340
 Husband

00:35:51.340 --> 00:35:54.000
 It's just

00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:54.519
 A few

00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:55.119
 Verses

00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:56.920
 And everything

00:35:56.920 --> 00:35:57.579
 Changed

00:35:57.579 --> 00:35:58.860
 Everything

00:35:58.860 --> 00:35:59.380
 Changed

00:35:59.380 --> 00:35:59.980
 First there's

00:35:59.980 --> 00:36:00.539
 One widow

00:36:00.539 --> 00:36:02.119
 Then there's

00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:02.820
 Two widows

00:36:02.820 --> 00:36:04.160
 And then there's

00:36:04.160 --> 00:36:04.840
 Three widows

00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:06.460
 And you know

00:36:06.460 --> 00:36:07.200
 It's easy to

00:36:07.200 --> 00:36:08.420
 Suggest

00:36:08.420 --> 00:36:09.059
 Maybe even

00:36:09.059 --> 00:36:10.079
 Tempting

00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:11.840
 To conclude

00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:13.000
 That they

00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:13.300
 Must have

00:36:13.300 --> 00:36:13.840
 Been wrong

00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:14.639
 To go

00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:16.139
 If it all

00:36:16.139 --> 00:36:16.519
 Went

00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:17.320
 So

00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:17.780
 Pearship

00:36:17.780 --> 00:36:19.900
 But we

00:36:19.900 --> 00:36:20.219
 Need to

00:36:20.219 --> 00:36:20.739
 Be careful

00:36:20.739 --> 00:36:21.159
 We need

00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:21.639
 To be careful

00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:22.300
 In forming

00:36:22.300 --> 00:36:22.960
 That kind

00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:23.500
 Of view

00:36:23.500 --> 00:36:24.079
 Because

00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:25.860
 The bible

00:36:25.860 --> 00:36:26.300
 Doesn't say

00:36:26.300 --> 00:36:26.519
 So

00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:28.300
 What we

00:36:28.300 --> 00:36:28.940
 Can say

00:36:28.940 --> 00:36:30.159
 With certainty

00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:30.960
 Is that

00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:31.659
 Naomi

00:36:31.659 --> 00:36:32.780
 Believed

00:36:32.780 --> 00:36:34.179
 That this

00:36:34.179 --> 00:36:34.559
 Was

00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:35.860
 God's

00:36:35.860 --> 00:36:36.840
 Chastisement

00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:38.539
 For something

00:36:38.539 --> 00:36:39.039
 Wrong

00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:40.199
 In her

00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:40.679
 Life

00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:41.420
 So you'll

00:36:41.420 --> 00:36:41.679
 Notice

00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:42.559
 That in a

00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:42.980
 Few verses

00:36:42.980 --> 00:36:43.440
 So say

00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:44.360
 At the end

00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:44.679
 Of verse

00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:45.340
 Thirteen

00:36:45.340 --> 00:36:48.240
 She says

00:36:48.240 --> 00:36:49.019
 It's exceedingly

00:36:49.019 --> 00:36:49.619
 Bitter for

00:36:49.619 --> 00:36:49.900
 Me

00:36:49.900 --> 00:36:50.880
 For your

00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:51.019
 Sake

00:36:51.019 --> 00:36:51.420
 That the

00:36:51.420 --> 00:36:52.000
 Hand of

00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:52.420
 The lord

00:36:52.420 --> 00:36:52.800
 Has gone

00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:53.360
 Out against

00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:53.679
 Me

00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:55.199
 God's

00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:56.000
 Against

00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:56.340
 Her

00:36:56.340 --> 00:36:57.000
 She says

00:36:57.000 --> 00:36:57.860
 And then

00:36:57.860 --> 00:36:58.099
 Look at

00:36:58.099 --> 00:36:58.260
 Verse

00:36:58.260 --> 00:36:58.599
 Twenty

00:36:58.599 --> 00:36:59.000
 One

00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:02.840
 Middle of

00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:02.920
 The

00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:03.139
 Verse

00:37:03.139 --> 00:37:03.619
 Towards the

00:37:03.619 --> 00:37:03.820
 End of

00:37:03.820 --> 00:37:03.860
 The

00:37:03.860 --> 00:37:03.960
 Verse

00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:04.320
 Why call

00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:04.420
 Me

00:37:04.420 --> 00:37:04.740
 Naomi

00:37:04.740 --> 00:37:04.960
 When

00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:05.340
 The lord

00:37:05.340 --> 00:37:05.579
 Has

00:37:05.579 --> 00:37:06.800
 Testified

00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:07.300
 Against

00:37:07.300 --> 00:37:07.619
 Me

00:37:07.619 --> 00:37:12.659
 The lord

00:37:12.659 --> 00:37:13.779
 Has testified

00:37:13.779 --> 00:37:14.279
 Against

00:37:14.279 --> 00:37:14.440
 Me

00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:14.699
 She's

00:37:14.699 --> 00:37:14.839
 Saying

00:37:14.839 --> 00:37:15.079
 God

00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:15.239
 Has

00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:15.440
 Some

00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:16.239
 Evidence

00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:18.099
 Against

00:37:18.099 --> 00:37:19.019
 Me

00:37:19.019 --> 00:37:20.079
 And that's

00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:20.380
 Why she

00:37:20.380 --> 00:37:20.679
 Believes

00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:21.159
 Everything's

00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:21.500
 Gone

00:37:21.500 --> 00:37:22.579
 So

00:37:22.579 --> 00:37:23.000
 Pearship

00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:23.500
 Why she's

00:37:23.500 --> 00:37:23.859
 Had so

00:37:23.859 --> 00:37:24.039
 Much

00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:24.359
 Trouble

00:37:24.359 --> 00:37:25.299
 Now

00:37:25.299 --> 00:37:26.000
 Maybe

00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:26.299
 She's

00:37:26.299 --> 00:37:26.619
 Right

00:37:26.619 --> 00:37:27.699
 Maybe

00:37:27.699 --> 00:37:27.920
 She's

00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:28.139
 Right

00:37:28.139 --> 00:37:28.659
 But even

00:37:28.659 --> 00:37:29.039
 If she

00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:29.319
 Is

00:37:29.319 --> 00:37:29.599
 Even

00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:29.799
 If

00:37:29.799 --> 00:37:30.019
 This

00:37:30.019 --> 00:37:30.279
 Is

00:37:30.279 --> 00:37:30.779
 And

00:37:30.779 --> 00:37:31.019
 This

00:37:31.019 --> 00:37:31.139
 Is

00:37:31.139 --> 00:37:31.339
 Just

 Her

00:37:31.579 --> 00:37:31.839

00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:32.319
 This

00:37:32.319 --> 00:37:32.420
 Is

00:37:32.420 --> 00:37:32.579
 Not

00:37:32.579 --> 00:37:32.980
 Scripture

00:37:32.980 --> 00:37:33.299
 That's

00:37:33.299 --> 00:37:33.539
 Saying

00:37:33.539 --> 00:37:34.019
 This

00:37:34.019 --> 00:37:34.159
 Is

00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:34.299
 A

00:37:34.299 --> 00:37:34.739
 Chastisement

 From

00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:35.099

00:37:35.099 --> 00:37:35.259
 This

00:37:35.259 --> 00:37:35.380
 Is

00:37:35.380 --> 00:37:35.539
 Just

00:37:35.539 --> 00:37:36.039
 Naomi's

00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:36.059

00:37:36.059 --> 00:37:36.500
 Conclusion

00:37:36.500 --> 00:37:36.519
!

00:37:37.619 --> 00:37:37.880
 But even

00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:38.319
 If she's

00:37:38.319 --> 00:37:38.559
 Right

00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:38.900
 That this

00:37:38.900 --> 00:37:39.019
 Is

00:37:39.019 --> 00:37:39.179
 A

00:49:22.359 --> 00:49:22.539
 Just

00:49:22.539 --> 00:49:22.939
 Tie

00:49:22.939 --> 00:49:23.179
 Us

00:49:23.179 --> 00:49:23.439
 In

00:49:23.439 --> 00:49:24.279
 Knots

00:49:24.279 --> 00:49:26.000
 Sometimes

00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:28.099
 Sometimes

00:49:28.099 --> 00:49:28.500
 You

00:49:28.500 --> 00:49:28.819
 Need

00:49:28.819 --> 00:49:29.019
 To

00:49:29.019 --> 00:49:29.500
 Just

00:49:29.500 --> 00:49:30.119
 Trust

00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:30.799
 God

00:49:30.799 --> 00:49:31.899
 Rather

00:49:31.899 --> 00:49:32.139
 Than

00:49:32.139 --> 00:49:32.619
 Question

00:49:32.619 --> 00:49:32.959
 Him

00:49:32.959 --> 00:49:34.199
 Or

00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:34.319
 By

00:49:34.319 --> 00:49:34.519
 All

00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:34.739
 Means

00:49:34.739 --> 00:49:35.059
 Bring

00:49:35.059 --> 00:49:35.639
 Bring

00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:35.839
 Your

00:49:37.219 --> 00:49:37.659
 Tormile

00:49:37.659 --> 00:49:37.839
 To

00:49:37.839 --> 00:49:38.000
 Him

00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:38.299
 Pour

00:49:38.299 --> 00:49:38.500
 Out

00:49:38.500 --> 00:49:38.639
 Your

00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:38.839
 Heart

00:49:38.839 --> 00:49:38.939
 To

00:49:38.939 --> 00:49:39.239
 Tell

00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:39.379
 Him

00:49:39.379 --> 00:49:39.500
 How

00:49:39.500 --> 00:49:39.619
 You

00:49:39.619 --> 00:49:39.839
 Feel

00:49:39.839 --> 00:49:40.419
 Tell

00:49:40.419 --> 00:49:40.539
 Him

00:49:40.539 --> 00:49:40.699
 What

00:49:40.699 --> 00:49:40.839
 You're

00:49:40.839 --> 00:49:41.259
 Struggling

00:49:41.259 --> 00:49:41.739
 With

00:49:41.739 --> 00:49:43.759
 But

00:49:43.759 --> 00:49:44.000
 Always

00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:44.299
 Remember

00:49:44.299 --> 00:49:44.519
 That

00:49:44.519 --> 00:49:44.879
 God

00:49:44.879 --> 00:49:45.459
 Doesn't

00:49:45.459 --> 00:49:45.779
 Owe

00:49:45.779 --> 00:49:46.139
 Us

00:49:46.139 --> 00:49:46.339
 An

00:49:46.339 --> 00:49:47.279
 Explanation

00:49:47.279 --> 00:49:49.259
 He's

00:49:49.259 --> 00:49:49.639
 God

00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:50.619
 And

00:49:50.619 --> 00:49:50.779
 We're

00:49:50.779 --> 00:49:51.159
 Not

00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:53.440
 God

00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:54.219
 I

00:49:54.219 --> 00:49:54.399
 Heard

00:49:54.399 --> 00:49:54.279
 A

00:49:54.279 --> 00:49:54.399
 Heard

00:49:54.399 --> 00:49:54.480
 A

00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:54.759
 Story

00:49:54.759 --> 00:49:56.019
 Not

00:49:56.019 --> 00:49:56.179
 That

00:49:56.179 --> 00:49:56.359
 Long

00:49:56.359 --> 00:49:56.599
 Ago

00:49:56.599 --> 00:49:56.980
 But

00:49:56.980 --> 00:49:57.799
 Maybe

00:49:57.799 --> 00:49:58.000
 You've

00:49:58.000 --> 00:49:58.179
 Heard

00:49:58.179 --> 00:49:58.399
 It

00:49:58.399 --> 00:49:58.599
 Or

00:49:58.599 --> 00:49:58.799
 A

00:49:58.799 --> 00:49:59.099
 Version

00:49:59.099 --> 00:49:59.379
 Of

00:49:59.379 --> 00:49:59.579
 It

00:49:59.579 --> 00:50:01.019
 But

00:50:01.019 --> 00:50:01.139
 A

00:50:01.139 --> 00:50:01.399
 Dad

00:50:01.399 --> 00:50:01.599
 He

00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:01.819
 Was

00:50:01.819 --> 00:50:01.980
 He

00:50:01.980 --> 00:50:02.019
 Was

00:50:02.019 --> 00:50:02.279
 Working

00:50:02.279 --> 00:50:02.500
 From

00:50:02.500 --> 00:50:02.879
 Home

00:50:02.879 --> 00:50:03.719
 And

00:50:03.719 --> 00:50:03.839
 He

00:50:03.839 --> 00:50:03.920
 Was

00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:04.099
 Looking

00:50:04.099 --> 00:50:04.359
 After

00:50:04.359 --> 00:50:04.599
 His

00:50:04.599 --> 00:50:04.920
 Son

00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:05.079
 And

00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:05.259
 His

00:50:05.259 --> 00:50:05.480
 Son

00:50:05.480 --> 00:50:05.819
 Was

00:50:05.819 --> 00:50:06.460
 Demanding

00:50:06.460 --> 00:50:07.019
 Attention

00:50:07.019 --> 00:50:07.480
 And

00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:07.899
 Board

00:50:07.899 --> 00:50:08.359
 And

00:50:08.359 --> 00:50:08.899
 Wanting

00:50:08.899 --> 00:50:09.119
 To

00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:09.259
 Be

00:50:09.259 --> 00:50:10.000
 Entertained

00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:11.119
 And

00:50:11.119 --> 00:50:11.319
 Dad

00:50:11.319 --> 00:50:11.480
 Didn't

00:50:11.480 --> 00:50:11.599
 Have

00:50:11.599 --> 00:50:11.940
 Time

00:50:11.940 --> 00:50:12.159
 To

00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:12.579
 Entertain

00:50:12.579 --> 00:50:12.599
!

00:50:12.659 --> 00:50:12.759
 Him

00:50:12.759 --> 00:50:12.859
 He

00:50:12.859 --> 00:50:12.960
 Had

00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:13.299
 Work

00:50:13.299 --> 00:50:13.799
 To

00:50:13.799 --> 00:50:14.039
 Do

00:50:14.039 --> 00:50:15.019
 And

00:50:15.019 --> 00:50:15.239
 So

00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:15.599
 He

00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:15.599


00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:16.199
 Tored

00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:23.500
 a page out of a magazine that had a map of the world on it. And he tore the map into pieces and

00:50:23.500 --> 00:50:27.980
 gave it to his son. And he said, you put that back together the way it should be. And when you're done,

00:50:28.079 --> 00:50:32.919
 come and show it to me. And he didn't think the boy would be able to do it because he'd never

00:50:32.919 --> 00:50:38.739
 really seen a map of the world before. But before long, the boy came back, dad, he said,

00:50:39.279 --> 00:50:42.679
 I've pieced it all together and he'd stuck it with tape. And his dad was shocked.

00:50:42.679 --> 00:50:48.179
 And he said to him, how did you do that? You don't even know what the map of the world looks like.

00:50:49.059 --> 00:50:56.059
 And the boy said, yes, but there was a picture of a man on the back. And he said, I recognized him.

00:50:57.179 --> 00:51:06.440
 And so by looking at him, I was able to put it all back together. He knew the man behind the picture

00:51:06.440 --> 00:51:17.280
 and that helped to put it together. And friends, if you know the one who is behind the jumbled mess

00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:25.960
 that may be your life today, that helps. That helps. It might not enable you to make sense of everything,

00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:35.039
 but how reassuring to know that he's there behind it all. Notice one final thing just as we finish.

00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:45.800
 Naomi said she was empty and we have no reason to doubt that she was. Her hands were empty. Her heart was empty.

00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:53.920
 Her head. Her home. But just notice this glimmer of hope in the closing words of the chapter

00:51:53.920 --> 00:52:01.039
 where it says, they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:08.619
 There will be food at least. There will be food at the very minimum should be fed.

00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:15.900
 But we know because we know the rest of the story that there were further blessings to follow.

00:52:17.179 --> 00:52:21.639
 God was about to do something new in Naomi's life.

00:52:21.639 --> 00:52:30.400
 God was about to do something new in Jerusalem as well. Amen.

00:52:30.900 --> 00:52:31.659
 Let us pray.

00:52:32.799 --> 00:52:41.379
 Lord, we thank you for your word. We thank you that it just tells us the story as it is, with all its pain.

00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:45.619
 It doesn't seek to make people out to be better than they are.

00:52:45.619 --> 00:52:55.099
 It doesn't edit comments that are made about you that we might be uncomfortable with.

00:52:55.500 --> 00:53:01.940
 We thank you, Lord, that it tells us how people dealt with the troubles that came into their lives.

00:53:02.739 --> 00:53:07.480
 But we thank you also, Lord, that it reminds us there is a God who is in control,

00:53:07.940 --> 00:53:11.299
 even when everything seems out of control.

00:53:11.300 --> 00:53:13.740
 So bless us today. Be with us, each one of us.

00:53:14.120 --> 00:53:18.260
 We're known to you, Lord. Meet us as you see our need today.

00:53:18.940 --> 00:53:21.380
 We ask these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:53:23.140 --> 00:53:26.680
 I'm going to finish singing in the Scottish Psalter, Psalm 126.

00:53:27.620 --> 00:53:29.560
 You'll find that on page 419.

00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:41.519
 Page 419.

00:53:44.019 --> 00:53:47.500
 Psalm 126. We're going to sing the whole of this psalm to God's praise.

00:53:48.840 --> 00:53:51.239
 When Zion's bondage, God turned back.

00:53:51.420 --> 00:53:57.420
 As men not dreamed were we, then filled with laughter was our mouth, our tongue with melody.

00:53:57.420 --> 00:54:00.039
 Psalm 126. The whole of this psalm to God's praise.

00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:02.039
 When Zion's bondage, God turned back.

00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:10.079
 When Zion's bondage, God turned back.

00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:27.360
 As men not dreamed were we, then filled with laughter was our mouth, our tongue with melody.

00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:41.360
 We hung the hill and said the Lord, great things for them have brought.

00:54:41.360 --> 00:54:53.360
 The Lord hath done great things for us, when joy to us is brought.

00:54:53.360 --> 00:55:23.360

 morn

00:55:33.740 --> 00:55:36.440

00:55:40.420 --> 00:55:42.519
 rejoicing

00:55:42.519 --> 00:55:45.840

00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:50.420
 Now may the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ

00:55:50.420 --> 00:55:51.980
 the love of God

00:55:51.980 --> 00:55:53.699
 and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit

00:55:53.699 --> 00:55:55.760
 be with you all. Amen

00:55:55.760 --> 00:55:55.820
 Amen

00:56:21.980 --> 00:56:25.760
 Amen
