Through the Book of Ruth
When You Feel Like God is Against You | The Return by Shawn Weekly on February 9, 2026 is part of Through the Book of Ruth

About This Message

In this message, we dive deep into Ruth 1:6-22, following Naomi and Ruth on their journey back to Bethlehem. After years of loss, famine, and grief in Moab, Naomi returns convinced that the Almighty has dealt bitterly with her. She arrives empty, broken, and believing her story is over.

But while Naomi was focused on her punishment, God was focused on her provision.

In this sermon, you'll discover:
- How to handle the "silent years" when it feels like God has turned HIs back.
- The difference between a "consequence" and a "course of correction"
- Why "The Return" is often the hardest part of the miracle.
- How Ruth's loyalty became the bridge to Naomi's restoration--and the lineage of Jesus.

If you feel like you're in a season of "Moab"-- feeling empty or forgotten-- this word is for you.
God isn't finished with your story; He's just changing the scenery.
