From Rejected to Redeemed

May 25, 2025    Pastor Pamela Woodfolk

In this powerful message, we're reminded that freedom from rejection is a gift from God. The story of Ruth, a Moabite woman who chose to follow her mother-in-law Naomi and embrace the God of Israel, teaches us about loyalty, faith, and God's redemptive power. Despite being from a rejected nation, Ruth's faithfulness led her to become part of Jesus' lineage. This narrative encourages us to look beyond our past rejections and embrace God's acceptance. We're called to surrender our hearts to God, allowing Him to work in our lives regardless of our current state. The message emphasizes that we don't need to 'get it right' before coming to God; instead, we should come as we are and let Him transform us. This story of redemption reminds us that no matter how rejected we may feel, God can use us for His glory and include us in His grand plan.
