Deuteronomy 24:20

To be generous is to give freely to others. By living generously, we can be conduits of God’s blessings, sharing what’s been given to us with those in need. In this 5-day plan, you’ll discover what the Bible says about our generous Creator and how you can live generously for him.

Join us and read the book of Ruth. You will see how God weaves His wonderful purposes into the individual lives of the people in the story. Hope and new life break into discouraging times, poor decisions, major transitions, and the loss of beloved ones.

The story of Ruth and her mother-in-law, Naomi, is one of love, hope and redemption. Through a series of challenging circumstances, these women found the need to relocate to a faraway land. This story is one repeating itself throughout the world today. Whether we are the ones on the move or those welcoming new neighbors, how will we allow God’s providence to work in our lives and those around us?

The Bible speaks to the unique contributions of outsiders to God’s kingdom and of God’s special care for outcasts. Whether you’ve always been an outsider, are looking to become one, or just want to better love the ones in your midst, this plan will help you explore the ways that the gifts of the outsider benefit us all, leading us into greater unity and a stronger faith in Christ.
