    The message deals with Joseph’s spirituality, Judah’s sinfulness and God’s sovereignty.

    Gen.37:36- 38:30. Judah’s sins Last time we looked at how maliciously the brothers dealt with Joseph and how in their hatred towards Joseph they threw him in that pit without any mercy. Not only that the dealt maliciously with their brother but they dealt deceitfully with their father. ...read more

    Sin is bad because it takes so much more than it gives - God is great because he takes only what is needed and gives more than we could ever ask or imagine

    Even in Judah’s horrendous sin the benevolent grace of our God was at work.

    Genesis 38 March 14, 2004 As we have been going through the book of Genesis these past number of months, I have come to a disturbing realization. Jacob and his family would have been the perfect recruits for the Jerry Springer show. For those of you who have never seen that show, or who want to ...read more

    God’s grace is shown in the fact that He would allow Jesus to be born through the line of Judah. Taken from Jim Cymbala’s book Fresh Faith.

    If you would turn your Bibles to the very first page of the New Testament, where the opening lines say, A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham: Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, Judah the ...read more

    Through the story of Perez, we learn how God loves to bring beauty out of our stupidity.

    Have you ever traced your family tree back as far as you can? It’s interesting to find out where your ancestors came from and what they were like.

    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

    We Owe Everything To God Series

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Jun 1, 2009
     | 9,854 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

    The inclusion of Tamar in the genealogy of Jesus demonstrates that, even when we find ourselves in a sinful situation because of our desperation, God is still willing to include us into His family line.

    Trust Christ with your life today, and let Him make you into the leader He wants you to be. Let Him give you a heart for God. Let Him save your family, and let Him make you a real and genuine Christian on the inside as well as the outside.

    Peter Falk (1927-2011), who died just this last June, 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 ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 37 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 17, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,086 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 37 1. And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. 2 These [are] the ...read more

    What’s So Amazing About Grace? Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Apr 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,330 views

    This story of Judah and Tamar reminds us that God’s grace comes in spite of our sin - even through our sin. Grace overcomes the mess that we make of our lives and provides us with something that we could never provide for ourselves.

    There are many passages in the Bible that are difficult to preach. Genesis 38 is right up there at the top of the list. It’s not BORING It’s not DEEP THEOLOGY It’s not IRRELEVANT Simply put, it’s TOO RACY! But the story must be told, because it’s an amazing story about GRACE. The story concerns ...read more
