Ruth: Loyal Love — Adult Small Group Study

The book of Ruth is one of the most carefully crafted narratives in Scripture. In four chapters, it covers loss, loyalty, providence, vulnerability, and redemption. It is also one of the clearest Old Testament pictures of the gospel. This 4-week small group study through Ruth is written for Adult Small Group in small churches.

Each session includes a complete Facilitator Guide with background, discussion questions, and application, plus a Participant Handout with take-home questions and reflection fields. Sessions are designed for 60-75 minute sessions and work well for Sunday school classes, midweek groups, or small group settings with 4-12 participants.
