The book of Ruth is more than just a love story—it’s a powerful picture of our redemption story. Throughout these chapters, we see faith, redemption, and God’s providence beautifully at work. Ruth’s bold trust and Boaz’s integrity lead to a story of restoration and grace. Through their obedience, God not only redeems their circumstances but also weaves Ruth into the lineage of David, leading to the birth of Jesus. This story powerfully reveals the unchanging faithfulness of God, even in the midst of brokenness.

Lesson 4 - Notes

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - ​Ephesians 6:14 (James 4:7 & 17; Ephesians 2:1; 6:10 & 13-14; Titus 3:5; Isaiah 45:19; 64:6; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 10:9-10; Matthew 5:8 & 28; 12:34; Psalm 23:3 & 6; 51:10; 139:23-24; Proverbs 3:5-6; 4:23; 1 Corinthians 6:18; 1 John 1:9)

In this unseen battle against the darkness, we are constantly under attack. Our enemy is watching us, looking for our weaknesses—waiting for his opportunity to attack. Remember, he is strategic! God has given us all that we need to protect us against the enemy’s attacks. The second item of our armor is the breastplate of righteousness. Its purpose is to guard the heart. Satan targets our hearts, and his weapon is sin. We have been given the gift of righteousness by our righteous God. When we stand in the righteousness of God, we stand strong in the power of His might!

We serve the living God—He is alive, active, and working in the world today! This is a truth we celebrate and stand on. But we must also acknowledge another reality: we have an enemy who is also alive, active, and at work.

There is an unseen war happening around us every day. Satan’s attacks aren’t always visible, but they’re deeply felt—through broken lives, damaged marriages, and chains of addiction, anxiety, and depression.

Do you know your enemy? Do you know who you are in Christ? Do you know what God has already given you to stand firm and fight back?

You don’t have to live in defeat. God has equipped you with everything you need to stand your ground and live in victory. The Unseen is real—but we are on the winning side.
