In this sermon we take a look at God’s plan for redemption and how it stretches from the beginning of time through all of history and invites us to find our place in this story. Ricky begins by reflecting on the story of Noah, a man who walks faithfully with God in the midst of a corrupt and violent world. Noah’s obedience to build the ark, even under ridicule, mirrors how faith calls us to trust God’s promises and provision.

Next, we look at Rahab, who risks her life to help Israel’s spies in Jericho, showing her belief in the one true God. Her bold faith, symbolized by a scarlet cord, points to the saving work of Jesus’ blood. Ricky reminds us how God welcomes everyone—regardless of their background—into His family through faith.

Finally, we look at the story of Ruth, who leaves everything behind to follow Naomi and trust in God. Through Ruth’s faith and obedience, God redeems her story, bringing her into the lineage of Jesus.

These lives reveal that God offers redemption and hope to all who trust in Him. Just as Noah, Rahab, and Ruth step out in faith, we too can embrace the safety, restoration, and future God provides through Jesus, our Redeemer.
