Stroll Through The Story

T’was the night before Christmas
And all through the church
Soldiers were marching
As for a Saviour we searched
When a census is called
We gather around
To have our scroll stamped
At the gates of the town
For Cesaer Agustus
Issued the decree
We enter in Rome
Near the fig tree

“Welcome to Rome,” she says,
“Hand me your scroll
Have you paid your taxes?
To the market you go!”
Fish in the fountain
Games in the square
The children to teach
One how to play fair
When through the halls
Passing beggar and shrine
To see the Innkeeper
No room to recline
Out to the fields
Where their flocks they do keep
Shepherds tell tales of
Angels and sheep

To a table of crafts
Where with hot glue and clothes pegs
An angel we make or
Sheep with wooden legs
On to the King
Herod the Great
To pay our respects while his slave child waits

Then men from the east
In wisdom so rich
Teach us of stars
And the hope they predict

What’s this round the corner?
Swaddled in night
A baby lies wrapped in the 
Hay sleeping tight
He came here with nothing
No throne for a King
But offered us all
When He gave everything
Thank you to everyone who made our Stroll Through The Story a huge success!

What has been your greatest lesson learned through this Ruth series?  Why not jot down some of the highlights.  Write down some possible improvements and email them to Pastor Jason: jason@hanovermissionary.com

Ruth – Week 6, Friday

Friday, October 28

Apart from God, Naomi seems to be the main character in the book of Ruth.  Why isn’t her name in the title?  Have you ever felt like your life was being lived so that others get the credit?  What does this look like?

Ruth – Week 6, Thursday

Thursday, October 27

Obed’s genealogy contained people who had questionable reputations (eg. Tamar in Gen 38 and Rahab the prostitute in Jos. 2 mentioned in Matt. 1:5).  Yet God still used those people powerfully.  Is there anything in your past or family’s past that you’re afraid might hinder God from working?

Ruth – Week 6, Wednesday

Wednesday, October 26

What does the book of Ruth say about the character of God?  In the story He is silent; does that mean He is absent?  What does that mean for your life?

Ruth – Week 6, Tuesday

Tuesday, October 25

What do you notice about Boaz between his introduction in chapter 2 and his action in chapter 4?  What do his interactions with others tell us about his personality?  If your life were a story, how would the author depict you in your interactions with others?

Ruth – Week 6, Monday

Monday, October 24

What do we learn about Ruth’s character as a younger woman in chapter 1?  How is that reinforced in chapter 2 and 3?  What were your predominant characteristics as a younger person?  How have those characteristics changed through the years?

Ruth – Week 5, Saturday

Saturday, October 22

Read Ruth 4

Ruth the Moabitess became the great-grandmother of David.  Jesus came from this same genetic line.  What does having a non-Israelite in the lineage of the Messiah say about God’s nature and character?  How does this relate to you?

Ruth – Week 6, Sunday

Sunday, October 23

Reflect on the character of Naomi as the story develops.  What do you learn about her in chapter 1?  How does she changes as the story progresses?  Reflect on your own life: how have you changed through the years?  What have been some significant events that have caused you to change?
