Glimmer of Hope

December 7, 2025 | Ruth 2 | Aberdeen Livingstone

The book of Ruth is situated in a time when God’s people kept doing what was right in their own eyes, and kept walking way from God in order to revel in the darkness of their own ways. But Ruth shows us that, even when darkness hangs so closely, God never abandons his people – and he is moving in the lives of his people so that his relentless love can shine to all the world.

This week we're excited to welcome Aberdeen Livingstone, who is an apprentice with the Artizo Institute. Aberdeen preaches from Ruth 2, and helps us see the glimmer of hope welling up in Naomi's heart. As she unpacks the three scenes in this passage, she directs us to see how God is always at work behind the scenes, and invites us to consider how we might join in.
