Theme: ''It's never too late to come back home to God''
John Denver broke onto the country music scene with an entirely different sound and type of music. He was known as a pop singer, but his music was also played on country music stations. He was considered as an interloper and was scoffed at by true country music artist and fans.
Then he wrote and sang the song ''Good to be back home again.'' This song vaulted him swiftly to the forefront of country music, where he won country music's two biggest awards. In one night he took home the song of the year and entertainer of the year, for his song ''Good to be back home again.'' This all happened in 1975 and upon presenting the award that night, Charlie Rich took the paper nomination and burned it in front of the CMA audience.
The beauty of John Denver's songs is this; he makes them personal and believable. John Denver wanted you to see his songs with your eyes and feel them with your heart.
In our sermon today we can relate to the song ''Good to be back home again'' as we watch Naomi and Ruth wind their way to the very city of her heritage, the city of her birth, the lowly city of Bethlehem.
We will be privy to seeing a woman coming home to a crowd of revelry and rejoicing, but we will see that it is short lived. Naomi is going to allow us to be up close and personal with the bitterness of a broken person.
We live in a world of broken people, many have backslide on the Lord and have given up on the church, yet they aren't honest about their feelings. Naomi refuses to hold back as she unloads her pain and her heartache upon those that have come to welcome her home. ...
