Welcome to the web archive for "Trusting God Anew: The Message of Ruth," a four-part expositional series preached by Pastor Jim Harmeling in September/October 2022.

Unfolding across four dramatic acts, this series traces Naomi and Ruth’s journey from bitter loss and famine to redemption, provision, and quiet restoration.  As the story moves from deep despair to unexpected kindness in the fields of Boaz, through a midnight act of faith, and ultimately to the redemptive resolution at the city gate, Pastor Jim highlights how God works behind the scenes in everyday faithfulness.  

Whether you are facing circumstances that feel beyond hope or simply learning to trust the Lord through life’s waiting seasons, these messages will direct your eyes to the God whose covenant love turns sorrow into joy, woven into both our individual stories and His greater redemptive plan.
