How should we act? Chapter 4 provides 3 lessons we should learn.

Introduction: This morning we are going to begin a study through the Book of Ruth. The story of Ruth is a story of faithfulness, second-chances, grace, dignity, but above all, it is the story of the faithfulness of God. We don’t deserve God’s faithfulness.
