Ruth | Nothing Wasted | Week Two | Love Against All Odds | Pastor Brad Brown

FWC SERMON SERIES RUTH | NOTHING WASTED WEEK TWO | LOVE AGAINST ALL ODDS SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 2026 Pastor Brad Brown SERMON RECAP: In a culture where marriage rates are collapsing and relationships are more complicated than ever, this sermon opens the ancient Book of Ruth to show that God's design for love still works. Through the story of Ruth — a foreign widow with nothing but her faith and work ethic — and Boaz — a man of godly character, integrity, and generosity — the sermon lays out four qualities every godly woman should have and four qualities every godly man should display in relationships. The heart of the message is that Ruth came to the field empty-handed expecting very little, but the generosity of Boaz exceeded every need — a picture of how God himself works in our lives when we trust Him. Most powerfully, the sermon draws a direct line between Boaz inviting Ruth to his table and Jesus inviting every broken, empty-handed person to His — reminding us that no past is too messy and no chapter one is too dark for God to rewrite. If you have ever felt forgotten, overlooked, or disqualified by your own history — this message is for you.
