In the message, "Then She Arose," Pastor Rich Whitter walks through Ruth 1:1–13, a powerful narrative of loss, loyalty, and the first stirrings of hope. The story opens in the time of the judges, marked by famine and moral decline. Naomi, having lost her husband and two sons in the foreign land of Moab, finds herself empty, grieving, and seemingly without a future. Yet amid the ashes of sorrow, Pastor Rich draws attention to a quiet but pivotal moment in verse 6—“Then she arose.” This turning point signals a decision to return, to move forward, and to trust again in the God she once knew.Pastor Rich emphasizes that faith often begins not with triumph but with simply standing up and taking the next step. Naomi's decision to rise and return to Bethlehem, though tinged with bitterness, is the beginning of redemption—not just for her, but for Ruth, and ultimately, for the lineage that would lead to Christ Himself.We hope this message encourages you to arise—even in your grief or uncertainty—trusting that God can bring purpose from pain and hope from heartbreak.
