This semester we’re going through a sermon series entitled, “Living In God’s Story As We Live In This World.” As you go through life, it’s easy to forget who you are and what story you’re a part of. Alasdyre McIntyre reminds us that before we ask, “What do I have to do today?” we must first ask ourselves, “What story am I a part of?” The story you’re living in informs the choices you make in the world.
The claim of the semester is this: if the story of Jesus is true, then His story completely changes how we live in this world. For we are not only a character in God’s story (because God’s story of redemption is still happening right now!), we are also a carrier of God’s story. We are called to carry God’s story of love and redemption into the world because we are also a character in the story who needed to be loved and redeemed too.
So every week we ask ourselves, “How does this biblical passage teach us how to live in God’s Story as we live in the world?”
This week we look at what it means to live in God’s story with risk as we tell the story of an encounter of love between Ruth and Boaz.
