Ruth 4
God has brought you here tonight to speak to your heart because, although you might be sad tonight, God wants to turn that around. God is a miracle-working God.

Hey, they are still fighting in the Middle East over land, the Palestinians and the Jews. They fight over land. Land is important. And God wanted to keep the land in the family. When the twelve tribes got the land when they went into the Promised Land, they divided out the land. Each tribe got a hunk of land. And God wanted to keep the land in that tribe, keep the land in the family. So He had this law called the law of the kinsman redeemer, which me ...
