 Text: Ruth 1: 1 - 22 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div class="chapter-1">
1 Now
 it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a 
famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn 
in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.</div>
2 And
 the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and 
the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of 
Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued 
there. 
 3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons. 
 4 And
 they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was 
Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten 
years. 
 5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband. 
 6 Then
 she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the 
country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the Lord had visited his people in giving them bread. 
 7 Wherefore
 she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in
 law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of 
Judah. 
 8 And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. 
 9 The Lord
 grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her 
husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept. 
 10 And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people. 
 11 And
 Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there
 yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? 
 12 Turn
 again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. 
If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night,
 and should also bear sons; 
 13 Would
 ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from 
having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your 
sakes that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me. 
 14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her. 
 15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law. 
 16 And
 Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following 
after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I
 will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 
 17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. 
 18 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her. 
 19 So
 they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when 
they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and
 they said, Is this Naomi? 
 20 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. 
 21 I went out full and the Lord hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me? 
 22 So
 Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, 
which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in
 the beginning of barley harvest.</blockquote>
 FEW PEOPLE ARE LOYAL: 
<ul>
<li> Loyal to their bosses.</li>
<li> Loyal to their pastor.</li>
<li> Loyal to God.</li>
</ul>
 1ST POINT A relationship where the greatest bond was faith in God – v. 16 KEY VERSE 16 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee: or to return from following after thee; for wither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. 2ND POINT A relationship of strong mutual commitment is motivated by God’s Love. 3RD POINT A relationship in which each person tries to do what is best for the other unselfishly.

Luke 16:19-31</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 
22 And
 it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels

The Victory of the Israelites   
1 Chronicles 12:38-40 
38 All
 these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to 
Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of 
Israel were of one heart to make David king. 
 39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them. 
 40 Moreover
 they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, 
brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and 
meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, 
and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel. 
 
Introduction: The Israelites fought for their victory. Victory is possible if we fight hard on this battle. 1st Point They have unity with one another. V-39     - Israelites were of one heart to make David their king. V-39     - They have fellowship. 
39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them. 2nd Point They encourage one another. 1 Chronicles13:1-3     - To join and act on it. 
<div class="chapter-2">
13 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.</div>
 2 And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the Lord
 our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are 
left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and 
Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather 
themselves unto us: 
 3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul. 
 3rd Point They inquired to God first. 1 Chronicles 14:10     - About their plans     - About their action taken. 
10 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand. 4th Point They inquired to God again. 1 Chronicles 14:14 
14 Therefore
 David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after 
them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry 
trees. 5th Point They were dependent to God. Conclusion Because of their obedience and dependency to God they experience victory against the Philistines. We can be victorious too, if we will first obey God and be dependent to Him.

Moving Forward Text: Philippians 3:13-14</div>
 
13 Brethren,
 I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, 
forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those 
things which are before, 
 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 
 1st Point Moving forward by forgetting those things which are behind.  
Ex. Frustrations Discouragement Failures 2nd Point Moving forward by loving what God loves.

the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that 
holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of 
the seven golden candlesticks; 2I
 know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst 
not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they 
are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Love for our enemies.– Matthew 5:44 44 But

Building a Strong Foundation Text: Matthew 7:24-29</div>
 24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The
 rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against 
that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the 
rock. 26 But
 everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into 
practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” 
 <div class="top-05">
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.</div>
 
Introduction: Foundation is the most important part of the house when it is built. 1st Point Build a strong foundation in your Christian life. 
<ul>
<li>Know your biblical belief as Christian.</li>
</ul>
2 Timothy 3:15-16 
 
15 And
 that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able 
to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 
 16 All
 scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for 
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 
 
<ul>
<li>Stand firm for what you believe.</li>
</ul>
 2nd Point 
<ul>
<li>Build a strong foundation in your family.</li>
</ul>
Ex. Joshua – Joshua 24:14-15 
<div style="text-align: left;">
14 Now therefore fear the Lord,
 and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which 
your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and 
serve ye the Lord.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord,
 choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your 
fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of 
the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we 
will serve the Lord.</div>
 
<ul>
<li>Be determine to have a united family together.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Be determine to serve God as a family.</li>
</ul>
 3rd Point Build a strong foundation in your church. 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 
12 For
 as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that 
one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 
 13 For
 by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or 
Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink 
into one Spirit. 
 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 
 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 
 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 
 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 
 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 
 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 
 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 
 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 
 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 
 23 And
 those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon 
these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more 
abundant comeliness. 
 24 For
 our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together,
 having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked. 
 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 
 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 
 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 
 
<ul>
<li>By having harmonious relationship with each other.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>By loving and forgiving one another.</li>
</ul>
1 John. 4:17-21 
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 
 18 There
 is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear 
hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 
 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 
 20 If
 a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he 
that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom 
he hath not seen? 
 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. 
 Conclusion Strong foundation will stand despite problems and trials in our lives.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Image from <a href="http://www.noop.nl/wp-content/uploads/The-12-Best-Questions-for-Team-Members-1-pi.jpeg">noop.nl</a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
 
Some of the great questions men have always asked are, "What is the Creator like? What shall I do about my sins? How can I overcome temptations? How can I know God? What is the purpose of life? What lies beyond the grave for those who reject Jesus Christ? Is there really a Heaven? All these questions have been fully answered in God's written Word, the Bible, and in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Living Word of God. 
 
What is the Creator like? 
Jesus answered this question. He said, "He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father:" (John 14:9). 
"I and my Father are one." (John 10:30). When a man looked at the face of Jesus, he could say, "I have seen God." Jesus was God appearing in human form. Jesus brought God down to men, and He lifted men up to God. 
Would you like to know what God is like? Then read the life of Jesus in the Gospels. Would you like something to know about the love of God? Jesus said, "God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life". (John 3:16) 
 
What shall I do about my sins? 
Many people live under the burden and guilt of sins. Friend, if your heart cries out in words like this, I have good news for you, "Through this man (Jesus Christ) is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins." (Acts 13:38). "Having made peace through the blood of His cross." (Colossians 1:20). 
Once I too was like the Prodigal Son described in Luke chapter 15. I was faraway from God. But when I turned to God for mercy, He freely forgave all my sins. At the Cross of Christ you can have your sins forgiven. Come to Him now and you'll begin to know the sweetness of His love and mercy. 
 
How can I ovecome temptations? 
 You need power to overcome temptations. You need a Savior who can brig strength and comfort to your heart. Jesus Christ can give you power to live a new life. H is the Living Savior, "able laso to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him." (Hebrews 7:25). 
 
How can I know God? 
In our hearts we long for a contact with a person greater than ourselves. God alone can satisfy that longing. Jesus Christ brings you into the family of God. "As many as received Him, to them gave he power to be the sons of God, even to them that believe in His name:" (John 1:12). 
 
What is the purpose of life? 
 After the conversion to Christ the Apostle Paul was sent by Him, to bear His name, and to turn men "from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God," (Acts 26:18). In this same glad service you too can find the greatest joy in fulfilling His will in your life. 
 
What lies beyond the grave? 
Jesus Christ deliver His people from the fear of death. For them it is to be, "absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord". (2 Corinthians 5:18) "To be with Christ which is far better," (Philippian 1:23). 
"Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;" (Psalm 23:4). 
For those who reject Jesus Christ, the Bible says, He will return "in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presense of the Lord and from the glory of His power;" 2Thesalonians 1;8-9). 
 
Is there really a Heaven? 
 Jesus has revealed to His people a great deal about this place which He has gone to prepare for us. Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also." (John 14:1-3). One of the reasons why I am a Christian is that I'm looking forward for meeting my Savior face to face, and thank Him for all His love to me. I am looking forward to enjoying the beauty of Heaven, which will be my eternal home.
