    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
     | 10,235 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

    When life takes an unexpected turn, will we trust God?

    Intro. Last week we saw that Jacob’s life changed before Joseph was born. Joseph had been trained well by his father. Not the same could be said about the rest of the sons. Jacob had been very passive in the lives of Joseph’s older brothers, but apparently more involved in the life of Joseph. ...read more

    today, let’s look into these verses and see the truths that God has placed here. I want to take these verses and preach on The Heartbreak of a Shattered Dream.

    Do you come from a dysfunctional family? Well... the good news is it doesn’t define who you are.

    Genesis 37:1-28 NIV Genesis 37:1 Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed, the land of Canaan. 2 This is the account of Jacob. Joseph, a young man of seventeen, was tending the flocks with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives, and he brought ...read more

    God has a great plan for each of our lives. He wants to fulfill our dreams. When we seek His will in our lives, He will align our dreams with His will.

    Dream Your Dreams Genesis 37 I. Have a Dream (37: 5a) a. We must have a dream b. People may not always like your dream (v. 5b) II. Share your dream (37: 6) a.

     | 4,983 views

    please enter a brief summary Is there a once cherished dream that comes to mind? Between the dream dreampt, and the dream realized, life happens. Like Joseph, during the in-between time, we have the choice to be faithful or write the dream off.

    September 16, 2012 “Joseph’s Precarious Path to ‘Providence’ ” Genesis 37:1-28; & 50:15-21 Joseph was born to Rachel, the true love - favorite wife of Jacob, but only after many long years of childlessness. Immediately doting Jacob starts showing ...read more

    Life has a way of bringing you down, BUT God WILL lift you up out of the pit that life throws you in. All you have to do is praise Him.

    Joseph’s own brother Rueben was responsible for Joseph’s pit. It was Rueben that suggested they throw Joseph in the pit. We don’t know what happened but whatever it was; we know that Rueben was there when Joseph was thrown into the pit but he was not there when Joseph was lifted ...read more

    God doesn't perfect us... then bring us into the church and into church leadership. He perfects us through change, challenge and allows His will to be done through imperfect people.

    Have you ever felt like life never goes the way you plan it? In my life, I had plans to do different things. When I was young, before even being a teen I wanted to be a professional football player. I used to play backyard football with all my friends and with my favorite cousin, Tim.

    What’s So Amazing About Grace? Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Apr 12, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 13,840 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

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 37 Series

    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
