Well, howdy, Pastor Mark Triscoll here wanting to welcome you to my series on Ruth, the big little love story.

We're going through the Cinderella story of the Old Testament in six weeks with two amazing characters, Ruth, a Moabike gal who was widowed, Boas, an older, wealthy, affluent

single guy, they fall in love, get a little bad counsel from a gal named Naomi, and God works it all out so they can get

married, have a baby named Obed, and through him would come another guy you might have heard

about, his name is Jesus.

You're going to love this love story and I thank you for your

prayers. I thank you for your support and your gift of any amount as we get God's

word out to God's whole world. Thanks a bunch, Pastor Mark out.

Well, it's a great day.

We get to start the book of Ruth,

amen.

Who's excited?

Brand new book of the Bible.

We love books in the Bible here at the Trinity Church,

and today we start the favorite book of the Bible here at the Trinity Church and today we start the favorite book of

the Bible for my two daughters. So during the summers I like to tell my kids

say pick a section or a book of the Bible, make it the place that you're going to

study all summer.

Each of my daughters has studied this book in depth and so if I share anything that's

helpful I want to thank my daughters for allowing me to study with them

because that's where honestly I've learned all the good stuff

that's in this book. This is one of the best love stories. This might be the best
