Living Hope

When Hope Starts to Breathe Again

November 05, 2026

Summary

When loss empties us out, we stop daring to hope for anything more. Then the first glimmers appear, and Naomi's heart starts to beat again. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller shows how God's redemption is bigger than we think. Discover why a redeemer named Boaz hints at something far bigger than even Ruth could see.

This is part one of the sermon, "Glimmers of Hope."
