What “only” statements have you believed? What limited labels have you let define you? In Week 3 of our Ruth series, Pastor Lucas highlights a powerful moment in Ruth’s story when she says, “I’m only a foreigner.” He reminds us that, like Ruth, we can sometimes believe the lie that we are “only” what our circumstances or past say we are. But our true identity is rooted in God—we are children of the King, and we can find refuge and strength in Him. Through Scripture and powerful reminders, this message calls us to exchange limiting beliefs for the truth of who we are in Christ. Speaker: Lucas Prado Publication: May 11, 2025
