This episode is the first part (episode) in a four-part series based on the Book of Ruth. In this episode we cover Chapter 1 of the Book of Ruth. We take a look at Elimelech and his family as they left their hometown for Moab because of the famine.

I also touch on the history of Moabites, and on the life of Naomi, Ruth and Orpah. In this episode I show you how a woman from a pagan nation became a part of the Family of God and the genealogy of Jesus Christ.

Ruth 1 :16-17 (NIV)
16 But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.

17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.”

To God Be All Honor.
