Today we wrap up the story of Ruth with a little bit of rhyme. This was a team effort with Junior School Chaplain, Aimee Owers, accompanying.

What are you like at waiting? Ever get restless? We all do, especially when rest is what we're seeking. Can we be restlessly patient? Ruth and Boaz show us how to do just that today.

"He's behind you!" That's the classic gag in a kids' show. It's always such an obvious setup. So why can't we see how obvious it is that God is behind everything in our own lives? It becomes very obvious in Ruth 2 today.

Schools are made for leaving. You come to go. A lot of life is like that, but leaving and returning can be confronting as we will see in Ruth 1 today.

After Noah's faithfulness through the flood it all seems to come undone as Noah unravels in his tent. What is the antidote to Noah the antihero?

It's the rainbow passage, the colourful backdrop to a dark story. But what is the source of all those complex and coalescing colours? Jesus!

God has provided the way through the flood for Noah so that he might respond in faithful obedience to God, but already something seems a little bit off...

Am I locked into or out of reading Noah's Ark as a global flood? What is leaking inside, outside and into the flood story?

Evan Almighty makes a big deal of a part of the flood story that is often overlooked or misunderstood–the animals flock to Noah. Why do they have a sense of what is going on when humans just carried on senselessly?

I don't get the Noah's Ark Play Centre because there's nothing playful about the flood. We might not get the OG Noah's Ark, but God gets it. Let's begin our quest to the depths of God's mercy and judgment.

If you think you’re a good person, you probably don’t have a lot of time for God, and that shows. Today's passage has some hard-hitting words, but the hardest hit comes from a woman who doesn't say a word...

How do you feel when someone doesn't like your taste in music? Banger or Bruiser, they won't listen. It can be frustrating, but in today's passage from Luke, Jesus is desperate for people to follow his taste in music that might taste life.

Talking about Jesus in the face of someone's suffering can be offensive, but talking with Jesus can be just as offensive. What's the best defence for this offence?

Death only takes, it never gives, and we the power to help is taken from us in the face of death. We care, but can we really help? Who can visit us in this time of need?

When hate bubbles to the surface in our society, do our shows of cultural respect and embracing of customs really heal the rift or are they just faux shows of peace? The same question pervades our passage this morning.
