Lifegate Denver Sermons

In the second chapter we are introduced to another main character who points towards the revelation of Christ Himself. One of the keys in the story that is revealed in this chapter is the way in which God is always working behind the scenes. The author reminds us that while the presence of God is real to the characters, His purpose still remains hidden. We can trust in a God who has been the same and is unchanging because of the nature of His character. We see through Boaz the way in which God works – he gives bread, wine, safety and protection – His mercies are truly new every morning. What seemed like a story that would end in tragedy now has the beginning marks of God’s faithful turnaround.
