Lesson 1: Background
	Background Ruth lived during the time of the events of the book of Judges. Ruth was not an Israelite. She was a Moabite woman. The Moabites were enemies of Israel during the time of the judge named Ehud. God was not pleased when the Israelites served the gods of Moab and other nations.
The Purpose of the book of Ruth The book of Ruth gives us a glimpse of how God Works through all kinds of people in different circumstances...to accomplish His purpose.
Focus for Teachers In the Old Testament, the Israelites were the chosen nation of God, but God showed his love and mercy to all people who trusted in Him. "For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him." (II Chronicles 16:9a)
