Key Bible Passages: Ruth 3:1-18
Discussion
1. Read Ruth chapter 3 out loud together. What is most interesting or confusing about this part of the story?
2. At the end of Ruth chapter 1, Naomi is bitter and despondent. Now she is taking action and asking Ruth to do something bold. What do you think changed?
3. Ruth asks Boaz to be her guardian-redeemer (3:9). The message mentioned some of the laws of Israel related to redeeming land and people (see Leviticus 25:25-28, 47-53). Why would these laws have been important for Israel? What values do they uphold?

6. Where you do feel challenged to be more bold in your faith right now?
7. Why are you not more bold? What fears, attitudes, or habits prevent you from taking risks and trusting in God more?
