What a redeemer really is: a 13-minute Bible study on Ruth 1–4. Hesed (loyal love), Naomi's journey from empty to full, "under his wings", the kinsman-redeemer, a Moabite welcomed into Israel, and the line "she happened to come".
A Bible study every Wednesday and a new story every Sunday, 8 PM ET. This Sunday: Esther, Part 1 (Nov 8, 8 PM ET).
