BIBLE STUDY WITH ME | Ruth 1

It's finally time for a new #BibleStudyWithMe series and I AM SO EXCITED to share that we will be doing the book of #Ruth! 🥳

This is the first Old Testament book I've done a Bible study series through, and I love how so much of the Old Testament is written in the genre of storytelling. Ruth is no exception. It's commonly understood as a love story, and it is - but it's not just a love story. It's a rich story of REDEMPTION that ultimately points to the redemption bought for us in Jesus Christ.

In Ruth chapter 1 we meet two of our main characters, Ruth and Naomi - and we find them in a place of dire need. The stage is being set for God to move! This is such a beautiful, masterfully-written story, and I'm so excited to dig deeper into all the little details that ultimately point us back to the character of our incredible God who wrote it. 💛

As always, don't forget to comment below letting me know what you learned from this #BibleVideo, and what verse(s) from Ruth chapter 1 stood out to you most. ✨

IT'S HERE! Our new BIBLE STUDY series! Who's excited to go through the book of Ruth?! 🙋🏼‍♀️ Share some thoughts in the comments below of what stood out to you most from chapter 1. ✨

I noticed an interesting point (don’t know if you catched it also). This chapter not only reflects blind faith in our spiritual walk with God, but also in our leaders. Naomi kinda served as the leader Ruth is following in this story. Yet despite how faithless and pessimistic her leader is, Ruth still chose to follow (perhaps because she trusted more in God than in Naomi). So perhaps this can also be used to show us how to support our leaders even when our leaders themselves are struggling. Just a thought :)

I Love how she decided to become completely vulnerable and trust God completely, stepping out in complete blind faith even after seeing everything that's happened. I find that to be an extreme, monumental display of what our faith as believers should look like. Even when everything seems to go wrong abd we don't understand at all, to still choose to trust God completely and stay dependant on him as well as completely vulnerable but still standing in strenght and determination. WOW!

I’m 49 years old and am so impressed by you and your devotion to God and sharing the Word so publicly with others. Your parents must be very proud! 🥰

“Noemi had NO IDEA what God was about to do” INDEED! We are gleaning from her and Ruth’s story in the year 2020 ! 😁

I feel like I relate to Naomi in this story. I've been going through things lately where I feel as if God has left me behind and is putting me through a struggle I cannot understand the meaning behind. im trying to put my life into Gods hands and understand that the timing of everything he does is perfect but it is really hard for me right now. I hope that continuing on with the books of Ruth I will be able to understand the purpose of the hardship he is putting me through.

Ruth was faithful to Naomi when she didn't have to be and God reward both women. Can't wait for next week ch 2

“The stage is being set for God to move” I love that it gives perspective

I’M new to BIBLE study and I just opened up to Ruth and found the answers I need ❤️

[AngelaWang]

Yay SO excited for the book of Ruth!!!💗 I love the background/context you give before going into the chapter - that was super helpful!🤗

[celinevalenzuela]

This was so helpful. This is Bible study girl! I went straight from the Bible project video and then clicked back after getting the context of the story and found this video and I don’t regret it. The break down the details . I’ve read Ruth before and got the gist of it but I’m excited to dig deeper in these next few videos 🙏🏽💕

[shelbylynnyork]

I have been waiting for another BSWM! I'm so excited to be going through Ruth! I absolutely love these videos :)

[constancelindsey]

You are the best! I'm so glad you are back! This is one of my favorite stories.... that also applies to my personal life. I have been writing an autobiography for six years now that ultimately glorifies God and hopefully saves souls.... And this story relates to some of my testimony. Thanks again for all your effort in creating these Bible study videos....I'm so grateful for the teaching and to be able to pass them along to others in need of the Lord's Word. God bless!

[AromaMomBibleStudy]

Thank you so much for bringing out the full meaning of the book of Ruth. It really is exciting! I am working on a Ruth Bible study also. Your advice about context is key. Keep up the great work doing Bible studies! It is nice to see a younger generation woman so passionate about the Bible!

[divinetenn]

Loved this! Especially as in studying the Book of Ruth now. It’s refreshing to hear your in depth points that I may have missed while studying!
Thank you for sharing, I look forward to Chapter 2.

[thalitacruz]

Wow! This video is simply amazing! Ruth's story is really incredible and her example of faith, commitment, friendship just encourages us to always trust that God will provide no matter the circumstances. God bless you so much, this bible study video edified me so much!

[jesusiskingofmyheart]

The Devil looks for weaknesses in our self direction but God turns the situation for the better even when we don't imagine. I love the book of Ruth! ❤✨

[meganlouiseoregan]

Thankyou Kaci, this is amazing, I recently finished reading through the new testament which I started in January, I then decided only yesterday that I was going to pick up where I left off in the old testament which by coincidence was at RUTH! So your study has now become the start of my journey in the old testament. Great context and history details given, thankyou so much. Ruth is so relatable to my own life right now as I'm feeling some of those things, destitute and in need of a family and then food haha, I am turning 30 soon and still live with my parents which feels not good sometimes. I need to step out in faith abit more like Ruth does I think. Its encouraging to see how God always provides and knows our needs. Thankyou Kaci, really really enjoy your studies. Feeling blessed! Xx

[BlessedBeABlessing.]

I’m studying the book of Ruth today, and I thank God that he gives you the knowledge to packed so many information to share with us. I love watching your study videos. I always learned from them. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to the body of Christ. Heaven bless you.

[caitlincaceres]

I just found this video after spending months keeping my distance from God because life became challenging and I felt alone and unloved. Most of my time away was on purpose but the other part of it was seasons of business. I looked for a book and for some reason was drawn toward Ruth. I watched the Bible project to understand the context of it before reading and then shortly after reading the first chapter found your video. God loves to work in our lives haha! I listened and watched to your whole video with so much engagement that I haven’t had in a very long time reading the Bible. I am so thankful that you made this video Bc it really is reaching the right people! Thank you for helping me find my way back! ❤️
