Welcome to the first edition of Explore Some More, the web based counter part to our Explore Together Sundays.
We’re aiming to give you a flavour of the morning and share the links to some of the resources we used
and found along the way.
This Sunday we looked at Ruth chapter one, we watched this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va6eMzP9GPA that
tells the story of a family that goes from one tragedy to the next. Making the trip from Bethlehem to Moab and back.
Even though chapter one is a bit dismal, we still learnt a lot and started to answer these questions:
I really enjoyed preparing this seesion and there is so much more to be discovered in the rest of the book. I read it a few times getting
ready for this session and promise its not all doom and gloom. One great way of getting into the story is by
watching this this 40 minute long dramatic reading of Ruth set to music - http://iainandcora.co.uk/video-recording. If that’s not your cup of tea the Bible Project have a great synopsis of the story
with helpful background information - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h1eoBeR4Jk or if you have some time and want to
be challenged check out this sermon by Timothy Keller https://player.fm/series/timothy-keller-sermons-podcast-by-gospel-in-life-83408/an-immigrants-courage
it’s 50 minutes long and nearly had me crying at the end.
If you like to read then links to the articles we used in the reading zone are below and if you really want to go
deep into the Ruth story get hold of a copy of Joshua, Judges and Ruth for Everyone
its a great read. Hope you enjoy exploring Ruth’s story - let me know how you get on.
