Even when Naomi returns to Canaan she hinders the salvation work of God: 1. Naomi scorns the grace of God 2. Naomi undermines the work of God 3. But God overcomes Naomi’s unbelief
Questions to think about during the sermon: Introduction: 1. Why do we evangelize / witness? What do we hope to achieve? What can we say about the way that Naomi evangelized to her daughters-in-law? Point 1: 2. In which respects is Canaan the same as Egypt? 3. What does Naomi think about God? What does she confess when she refers to Him as ‘the Almighty’ 4 If we confess that God controls all things (providence), what is the other side of the coin? Which facts does Naomi ignore? Point 2: 5 Why does Naomi encourage her daughters-in-law to go back to Moab? 6 What does Naomi say about Canaan? What might we say about Yarrow (or the Fraser Valley)? 7 How does Naomi evangelize? What does she say about God? What do we need to believe in order to evangelize? Point 3: 8 What is the miracle in our text? What encouragement does this offer to us all (and especially to elders and deacons)?
