Jesus Our Successor – Part 8
Ruth chapter number four. Hopefully. Hopefully, you’ve been learning some things. I’ve learned a ton in this little book. And I see why so many girls like this book now. And I’m not a girl, but it’s a good book. A love story. That’s exactly right. It’s the progress of a love story. Scripture Reference Ruth 4:13-17 Then Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she…
Jesus Our Successor – Part 7
Ruth chapter three. We’re going to canvass all of Ruth chapter three tonight. So when you get there, stand with me. I want to point out one specific verse which I think is really a catalyst of a lot of this chapter, verse 11. “And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.” Scripture Reference Ruth 3:1-18 Introduction Title:…

Ruth 1:16-22 Scripture Reference Ruth 1:16-22 16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go, and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me. 18 Then…
Jesus Our Successor – Part 2
Ruth 1:6-15 Scripture Reference Ruth 1:6-15 Introduction Today we consider the sermon titled “Jesus Our Successor” preached by Dr. Terry LeQuieu from the Book of Ruth, chapter one, verses 6–15. This passage follows Naomi’s turning point — her resolve to leave Moab and return to Bethlehem, and the responses of her daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth. The text is a vivid picture of spiritual renouncement, the hard road back to God, and how God can use even broken circumstances to lead…
Jesus, Our Successor – Part 1
Ruth, Chapter number one. Scripture Reference Ruth 1:1-5 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he and his wife, and his two sons. And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they…
Leading Like Jesus – Part 7
Titus 3:9-15 Scripture Reference But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretic, after the first and second admonition, reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos…
Leading Like Jesus – Part 6
Titus 3:4-8 Scripture Reference But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a faithful saying,…
Leading Like Jesus – Part 5
Pastor Terry opened Titus 3 and began a three-message focus on the “consummation of a faithful leader”—putting everything together we’ve learned about leadership so our lives openly announce God to the world. Leadership is influence; the Christian leader’s influence must point people past us to Christ. In Titus 3:1–3 Paul gives three public-facing marks of Christlike leadership: (1) be subject to authorities, (2) be civil in accusations—gentle and meek, and (3) be seasoned with humility, remembering what we ourselves once…
Leading Like Jesus – part 4
What holds a Christian leader together when life hurls temptations and trials? Grace. From Titus 2:11–15, Pastor Terry shows that God’s grace is the catalyst—it saves, sanctifies, sustains, is sovereign in purpose, and supports us as we speak, exhort, and rebuke with authority. Grace doesn’t just get us to heaven; grace trains us to deny ungodliness and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world—zealous of good works and looking for our blessed hope, the glorious appearing of…
