    We see how God will have his way, even through the sinful schemes and foolish ways of his creatures.

    Two Brothers - So Different Series

     | 2,554 views

    Have you witnessed two brothers or sisters, who were so different in their personality, you wondered, “How could these two people come from the genetic pool?” Today, I want you to see two brothers who were very different from each other.

    When we consider famous brothers… … some famous brothers come to mind… 1) Wilbur and Orville Wright ushered in the era of flight; 2) The Brothers Grimm, Wilhelm and Jacob, popularized fairy tales such as “Snow White,” “Cinderella,” and “Sleeping Beauty”; 3) Outlaws Frank and Jesse James; 4) The ...read more

    Tamar - A Christmas Story Series

    Instead of seeing them for who they were, Judah blames Tamar for their deaths. Because he blamed her, he outwardly played the respectable father-in-law part for society but he inwardly and secretly deceived his daughter-in-law. Judah doesn’t want to admit what a mess his family is.

    We begin a short series designed to make room in your heart to worship Jesus, entitled The Mothers of Jesus. This isn’t going to feel like a Christmas series, but I promise you it is. I want to tell you a story a messy, gritty story about injustice, sex, and cover-up. It’s the story of a baby’s ...read more

    Boaz is the "goel"--the guardian-Redeemer. God is the Redeemer, and Jesus is our Kinsman-Redeemer.

    Ruth 4: God Provides a REDEEMER (Preacher: I began with a children’s message, asking the children about their favorite fairy tale or animated movie. Is there a rescuer? Someone is in trouble, and they are rescued. At a deeper level, right or good wins, love overcomes, wrong is defeated by a hero ...read more

    If you want to be a positive influence on others, don't compromise with the world, take care of your family, be consistent in the way you live your life, but most of all, count on God's grace.

    Peter Falk (1927-2011), who died just a few years ago, will always be remembered for the role he played as an eccentric, sloppy detective in the TV series called “Columbo.” More often than not, he played dumb, but that put his subjects off guard, and he was always able to solve his cases as a ...read more

    Sin in the life of a child of God will be exposed by the Father who loves us too much to permit us to hide our sin.

    “In the course of time the wife of Judah, Shua’s daughter, died. When Judah was comforted, he went up to Timnah to his sheepshearers, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. And when Tamar was told, ‘Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,’ she took off her widow’s garments ...read more

    We Owe Everything To God Series

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Jun 1, 2009
     | 10,520 views

    When we say “we are simply saved by grace”, aren’t we saying that we really owe everything to God?

    Last week we talked about Genesis 37 which talks about the beginning of the story of God’s hero, Joseph. As we will note, there is no mention of Joseph in Genesis 38 and Joseph’s story continues in Genesis 39. God takes a break in telling the story of Joseph with a story about Judah and Tamar. What ...read more

    Last week we discovered the beginning of the story of Joseph. His story began with his brothers selling him into slavery that would take him to Egypt. A tough way to begin your adult life – but God would use it to shape him into the man he needed to be. But the story of Joseph seems to get ...read more

    Judah finds both repentance, and amendment of life.

    THE TESTIMONY OF JUDAH. Genesis 44:18-34. I have often wondered why the account of Joseph’s plight in Egypt is interrupted by a chapter about his half-brother Judah (Genesis 38). However, this part of the narrative (Genesis 37-50) is headed ‘the generations of Jacob’ (Genesis 37:2). The whole of ...read more

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Thirty-Eight. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    God didn’t hide Judah’s story. He redeemed it. And He can redeem yours too. In fact this might be where God is just getting started in your life.

    Today, we’re looking at a story in Genesis about Judah, the fourth son of Jacob (Israel) and great-grandson of Abraham. Last Sunday, we were studying Joseph, Jacob’s favorite son — so it may seem strange that Moses suddenly leaves the story of Joseph to tell us what’s happening in the life of ...read more

    Contributed by William Akehurst on Oct 7, 2024
     | 628 views

    Why is this account of this record in here? Because GOD’s Grace continues despite man’s failures. The Line of Judah is established through SIN, so that GOD’s GRACE can rescue the sinful. JESUS didn’t come for the righteous, but to call the sinful to repentance.
