    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

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Apr 12, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 13,816 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.

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

     | 12,860 views

    Life is full of choices. Our choices will affect our future destiny. We must learn to make the right choices with regards to the people we associate and with our duties before God and family.

    THE CHOICES WE MAKE We are now in Genesis 38. This is the story of Judah and Tamar. Not too many preachers talk about this chapter because this is like a parenthesis from the story of Joseph. One whole chapter devoted about the life and sin of Judah while Joseph was sold to Potiphar in Egypt. In ...read more
