We’re afraid of silence. It unsettles, makes us insecure, afraid. But no silence unsettles like the silence of God. Scripture consoles us that God is a not silent. He reveals Himself, is knowable. Yet at times He seems silent.  What then?

Elimelech and Naomi move their little family into the hated land of Moab to escape famine.  But things go from bad to worse.  Where was God?  Why was he so far from saving?  Why was he so silent? Join us as we examine Ruth 1:1-5 and wrestle with the question of why God sometimes appears silent and how we should respond.
