Ruth 3- A Scheme in the Dark: Naomi's Plot and the Redeemer's Test

In Ruth 3, Rev. Christian Dove preaches on the matter of Naomi's plot to "help" Boaz redeem her and the test it presents for Ruth and Boaz. Being so distanced from the foreign cultural context of these events today, it can be easy for us to whitewash or slide over Naomi's plot without much thought (and with plenty of assumptions). But the context reveals a dark sinfulness to Naomi's plan, but God is faithful to overcome that darkness.
