today on Summit Life with J.D. Greer. Jesus has the right. He's got the resources and the resolve

to be our kinsman Redeemer. He's got the right. He was our relative, born of a woman, just like we

were. He had the resources. He was without sin with power over sickness and death. He had the

resolve. He said, I'll undergo even the curse of death itself to buy them back. In Ruth,

we see the entire gospel displayed before our eyes.

Welcome back to Summit Life with Pastor J.D. Greer. I'm Molly Vitovich, and I'm thrilled to guide you through

today's teaching here on the program. Let's get serious for a moment. Have you ever felt like

Well, today, Pastor Jady walks us through the story of a woman who lost everything,

her home, family, and security.

Yet even in her darkest season, she finds hope.

And the message for today is that we can too. Now, remember, we've been

walking through the Bible slowly the past through weeks. So if you've missed anything, visit

Biblical hope is something you are very sure about
