GracePoint Church
July 23, 2023 Sermon Notes
Welcome to GracePoint Sunday Morning! Our church’s purpose is to connect real people to the real God, and we believe one of the best ways to do that is to study the Bible together. This summer, we are working through the Book of Ruth as a church. This sermon is the first of two from Ruth cp 3. In this first part, we consider the momentous yet ambiguous midnight meeting of Ruth and Boaz and then draw three life lessons from what happens. May the Lord encourage your faith as you listen!
