TEACHING: Ruth: A Story of God’s Redemptive Love, Part 4

There is often a disconnect between how we see ourselves and how others see us. As representatives of Christ in a fallen world, we should take inventory of our character in light of Scripture. The character of Ruth and generosity of Boaz point us toward an integral life in Christ.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. As you reflect on this sermon, what one insight or principle stands out as being particularly helpful, insightful or difficult to grasp?
  2. What is “character”? Can you think of any examples of bad character? Of good character?
  3. Read and discuss Ruth 2. In terms of character, how does the foreman view Ruth?  How does Boaz view Ruth? How does Ruth view Boaz? How does Naomi view Boaz? How does the author view Naomi?
  4. How does the character and generosity of Boaz point us to Christ?
  5. Is it important to consider how others see us? Why or why not?
  6. In what ways are you prone to have a “heat index” in your view of yourself and think more highly of yourself than you ought?
  7. How does the gospel help us see ourselves as we really are? How does the gospel tell us about how God views us? How are our personal character deficits redeemed in the gospel?
  8. Just based on outward observation, would your faith in Christ be evident to others? Why or why not? Can you think of any areas for intentional improvement? Spend some time in prayer about this with your group.
