Fulfilled Hope

December 21, 2025 | Ruth 4 | Rob Collis

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, Rob Collis preaches from the fourth and final chapter of Ruth, as he looks at the fulfillment of hope. As God has been moving behind the scenes in Ruth and Naomi’s lives, there’s an important part of this story that needed to happen – a part that we sometimes gloss over and forget: the only way Naomi and Ruth could be redeemed was for someone to pay the cost.
