Moms Who Change The World

A Chance Encounter That Wasn't Chance

American television changed forever when a Cuban man and a red-haired woman met and then merged their professional careers in 1940. Their sitcom, “I Love Lucy” is still considered one of the greatest of all time.  In Ruth chapter 2, the widow Ruth meets a wealthy land-owner named Boaz. But because God is writing this story, their meeting isn’t chance at all. What encouraging insights can you uncover in this text about God’s active involvement in your life? What does God want you to know about your life story?  (The Book of Ruth, part 3)

Moms Who Change The World

Did you know that nearly 70% of people who are succeeding with their personal goals, careers, and families— attribute that success to their upbringing in a positive family environment? That statistic certainly underlines the tremendous impact of dads and moms.  One of the most godly moms in the Bible was a woman named Hannah—who would become the mom of the legendary prophet Samuel. What stands out about Hannah’s character and actions?  What are four qualities of moms who change the world? (Mothers Day 2026)

A Heartbreaking Homecoming

How do you typically respond when life comes crashing down? Do you complain and sink into a season of despair, or do you turn to the LORD in confidence and trust?  In Ruth chapter one, Naomi returns to her home country after a decade of heavy hardships. What happened to this family, and where was God in all of it? How does God want you to respond when the walls come falling in on you? (The Book of Ruth, part 2)

Broken Pieces Made Beautiful

On Sunday morning, we launched into a brand-new study of the Book of Ruth called “Broken Pieces Made Beautiful.”  Even though the story of Ruth is marked by famine, death, and heartbreak, God takes the broken pieces and writes a beautiful redemption story for His glory and His people’s good.  What kind of encouragement can you discover in the book of Ruth, when your life comes crashing down? What can God do with the broken pieces of your story? (The Book of Ruth, part 1)

Perils of Pride

On Sunday, April 19th, our church participated in an extra-special “Pulpit Swap Sunday”, where I exchanged pulpits for the day with Dr. Terry Felton from Mason Dixon Baptist Church in New Freedom, Pennsylvania.  That morning, Pastor Felton spoke at Wrightsdale on the critical topic of pride, from 2 Kings chapter 14.  Why is pride so devastating and debilitating in the life of a Christian— and how can you push back against it in your everyday life?
