Text: Ruth 3:1-18

Today’s Principles: 1. The value of good personal character qualities 2. The value of waiting on direction

Context & Culture Are Important!

Harvesting grain in Bible times Eight steps

Threshing floor - where threshing and winnowing both went on

Ruth 3:2-9

Boaz - Kinsman - Redeemer?

Ruth 3:10-13

Understanding these two phrases: 

“uncover his feet and lie down” 

“spread the corner of your garment over me” 

1. There is great value in personal character quality 

What do people in town think of you? What do people in church think of you? Are they the same? 

“But when we get behind closed doors…” 

2. There is great value in waiting on direction Ruth 3:18 

Seven great principles so far!
