Recap: Look back for evidence of God’s word reshaping your heart and life. Does anyone have a testimony to share with the group of how you applied last week’s “Respond” section? Engage: Look into the Word of God in light of Sunday’s preached sermon. Read Ruth 1:1-22 as a group and discuss your initial observations. Reflect: Look deeper at the preached and written Word. In what ways do we sometimes leave our ‘Bethlehem’ (the place of God’s blessing) to pursue security in our own ‘Moab,’ and what might God be calling us to return from today? What does Ruth’s conversion statement—’your people shall be my people and your God my God’—teach us about the relationship between personal faith and commitment to Christian community? How does the contrast between Orpah’s practical decision and Ruth’s faith-filled commitment challenge our own approach to following God when the cost seems high? In what ways does the theme of ‘return’ repeated eleven times in Ruth chapter one speak to God’s persistent grace calling us back from our wanderings? What ‘barley harvest’ moments of hope has God provided in your life when you felt most empty, and how can remembering those times strengthen your faith today? Respond: Choose one or two applications from Sunday’s message and commit to it/them this next week. Practice Gospel Remembrance: When you face difficulty or disappointment this week, intentionally stop and remember what Jesus has done for you. Write down 3-5 specific gospel truths to rehearse when you’re struggling. Be Honest Like Naomi: If you’re struggling, don’t say “I’m fine” when you’re not. Share your real struggles with at least one trusted Christian friend this week, but also practice remembering God’s faithfulness together. Evaluate Your “Moab”: Reflect on whether there are areas where you’ve left the “house of bread” (God’s provision, His people, His presence) to seek satisfaction elsewhere. What would “returning” look like for you? Make Ruth’s Confession Your Own: Rewrite Ruth 1:16-17 as your own personal declaration of faith. Share it with someone or journal about what it means to you. Invest in Community: Like Ruth committed to Naomi’s people, intentionally invest in your church community this week. Reach out to someone, serve in some way, or deepen a relationship.
