Religion & Spirituality
Pastor Josh Carstensen is continuing a series on Ruth where Naomi and Ruth return to Bethlehem. Ruth enters the city as an outsider from Moab, a group of people constantly fighting with God's people. Like Ruth, we're all outsiders to God’s Kingdom and we need someone to vouch for us in the same way that Naomi vouches for Ruth. But unlike Naomi, Jesus pursues us and brings us to the gates of Heaven Himself. It's amazingly good news! After the message, you're invited to download, and fill out, the Ruth series journal, which you can find on our website, nwhills.com, right next to the worship service video. Thank you for listening to this message on October 3, 2021, at 9:00am from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon.
