This morning we begin the season of Easter, a season of celebrating and reflecting on the wonder of our redemption through Jesus Christ. There are a lot of redemption stories in the Bible, but perhaps one of the best is the story found in the book of Ruth, a story so familiar to most of us that we often miss the depths of the redemptive work God is doing throughout this story. Over the next few weeks, we will explore a story that is as deep as it is short, as tragic as it is marvelous, one that turns the lives of its characters as upside down as Jesus Christ does with ours.

The ultimate problem we all have is that we are all broken on the inside, bent from how we are supposed to be. The Bible calls this brokenness sin. Theologians, at least in our theological tradition, call it “total depravity.” This sermon series explores the reality of our sinfulness and how our brokenness affects not just the decisions we make, but every area and facet of our being and lives as well. Through this series, we will look at how our brokenness has twisted our understanding of love, relationships and community, truth and even hope. And in each area that we have twisted, Jesus Christ has come to show us the better and right way – a way that can only be found in him. What has been twisted since Adam and Eve first sinned is Untwisted by Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection.
