Ruth 1:1-6

1

Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.

2

And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.

3

And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.

4

And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.

5

And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.

6

Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.

Summary: Naomi's Revival

Overview

This sermon uses the biblical story of Naomi from the book of Ruth to illustrate the concept of revival and restoration. It emphasizes that God desires to help us and can restore what the enemy has stolen, urging listeners to return to God's house and embrace His restorative power.

Key Points

  • The story of Naomi begins with a famine in Bethlehem, leading her family to sojourn in Moab, a decision that ultimately resulted in loss and hardship.

  • The speaker warns against making life decisions, especially moves, during times of hardship without first consulting God and ensuring a strong spiritual foundation.

  • Marrying outside of faith ("Moab") is depicted as a path leading to misery, highlighting the importance of godly influences for family and children.

  • Despite her suffering, Naomi eventually hears that God is visiting His people and decides to return to the "house of bread" (Bethlehem).

  • Ruth's steadfast loyalty to Naomi and her adoption of Naomi's God represents a powerful choice for faith and belonging.

  • The sermon stresses that God is a restorer and can bring new beginnings even after immense loss, as seen in Naomi's eventual encounter with Boaz and the birth of Obed.

  • The message concludes with a call to action, encouraging those who are tormented or feel their faith is low to come to the altar to receive healing, strength, and revival.
