    We Owe Everything To God Series

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Jun 1, 2009
     | 10,425 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

    God has some bitter medicine that can kill or cure the scoundrel in you.

    Airport security personnel have a fairly mundane job. They scan people with metal detectors, look through their bags, check their shoes, and sometimes pat them down. It’s probably not uncommon to find a knife accidentally left in someone’s pocket. On rare occasions they might find drugs or fire ...read more

    The Testimony Of Judah

    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

    What’s So Amazing About Grace? Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Apr 12, 2013

     | 14,054 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

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 17, 2011

     | 6,380 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

    Perfect… You’re Not Perfect… ~ God

    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.

    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.

    Looks Like I'm Going To Have To Make Something Happen

    Tamar is an amazing and brilliant woman. She waited a long time for Judah to do the right thing, she lived the life of a grieving widow for years without getting her due, she was still hoping that Judah would do the right thing. But Tamar realizes that she is going to have to make something happen.

    Looks Like I'm Going To Have To Make Something Happen Genesis 38: 1- 30 Text: v. 8-10 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

    Dishonouring The Family Series

     | 11,569 views

    Among the sins which God judges most harshly and most swiftly are sins dishonouring one’s family. Such swift and terrible judgement speaks to the importance of the family in the divine economy.

    “Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, and the LORD put him to death. Then Judah said to Onan, ‘Go in to your brother’s wife and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your ...read more

    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

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 16, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,283 views

    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
