7. Truth - Rev. Chris Currie | 4.12.26

    Ruth 4:13-22 The great narrative, to which Christians are called to be faithful, begins at the beginning of all things and ends at the end of all things, and within the arc of it civilizations blossom and flourish, wither and perish. This would seem a great extravagance, all the beautiful children of earth lying down in a final darkness. But no, there is that wondrous love to assure us that the wo
