Summary: To show that the strong and wise in this world rejects and destroys GOD's WORDS for them.

I. EXORDIUM:

Do you destroy the seed?

No. I'm weak, GOD is strong in me.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (Amplified Bible)

But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!

1 Corinthians 1:28 (Amplified Bible)

And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing, that He might depose and bring to nothing the things that are,

III. OBJECTIVES:

To show that the strong and wise in this world rejects and destroys GOD's WORDS for them.

1 Corinthians 1:27-28 (Amplified Bible)

[No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame.

And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing, that He might depose and bring to nothing the things that are,

1 Corinthians 4:10 (Amplified Bible)

We are [looked upon as] fools on account of Christ and for His sake, but you are [supposedly] so amazingly wise and prudent in Christ! We are weak, but you are [so very] strong! You are highly esteemed, but we are in disrepute and contempt!

VIII. MAIN BODY:

Genesis 38:9 (Amplified Bible)

But Onan knew that the family would not be his, so when he cohabited with his brother’s widow, he prevented conception, lest he should raise up a child for his brother.

Definitely this verse is another S.M. (Secret Message) from the LORD that He tried to hide them in the names of Onan and Er and the Seed is obviously JESUS CHRIST as our Messiah, the Seed of Abraham that is obstructed or hindered to come out in this world from the tribe of Judah.

A. The strong man of this world hinders the Seed

"But Onan knew that the family would not be his, so when he cohabited with his brother’s widow,"

Onan, according to the same Hebrew word meaning: strong.

1 Corinthians 1:23 (Amplified Bible)

We preach Christ (the Messiah) crucified, [preaching which] to the Jews is a scandal and an offensive stumbling block [that springs a snare or trap], and to the Gentiles it is absurd and utterly unphilosophical nonsense.

1 Corinthians 1:25 (Amplified Bible)

[This is] because the foolish thing [that has its source in] God is wiser than men, and the weak thing [that springs] from God is stronger than men.

1 Corinthians 2:14 (Amplified Bible)

But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated.
