Ruth is one of my favorite Old Testament books in the Bible. Though small and unassuming, it not only parallels our own Christian journey from darkness and sin to light and salvation, but it also has incredible depth that helps our spiritual growth as believers.

While many think of the book of Ruth as merely a love story (between Ruth and Boaz), the book actually is an incredible foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, the gospel, and His redemptive work on the cross.

In this episode, we briefly look at how the book of Ruth parallels the Christian life, foreshadows Jesus Christ, enriches and deepens our spiritual growth, and highlights Nathan's new Christ-centered study/commentary on the Book of Ruth.

Many Christians read the Bible slowly, one chapter or a few verses at a time—but there are tremendous benefits to reading Scripture through quickly.

In this video, Nathan Johnson explains three important reasons every believer should consider reading through the Bible in 60, 90, or 120 days. Reading the Bible at a faster pace can help you see the grand storyline of Scripture, understand how the whole Bible points to Jesus Christ, and develop a deeper hunger for God’s Word.

If you have ever struggled to stay consistent in your Bible reading or wanted to better understand the overall message of Scripture, this teaching will help to inspire you with a fresh approach to reading God's Word.
