    Shows the frustrations that fester from Broken, Dead and Spilled Over Promises.

    Waiting On What Has Been Promised Genesis 38: 7-15 Scripture tells us that Onan was a charge to go in unto Tamar (Sister In Law)that the blood line of Judah would be carried on. Onan took it upon himself to spill over the seed and did not impregnate Tamar. God ...read more

    What’s So Amazing About Grace? Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Apr 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,792 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

    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. 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.

    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

    The Choices That We Make

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Jul 28, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,993 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

    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
     | 5,829 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

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

    Boaz is the "goel"--the guardian-Redeemer. God is the Redeemer, and Jesus is our Kinsman-Redeemer.

    Ruth 4: God Provides a REDEEMER (Preacher: I began with a children’s message, asking the children about their favorite fairy tale or animated movie. Is there a rescuer?

    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.

    Two Brothers - So Different Series

     | 2,025 views

    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
     | 4,971 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

     | 9,890 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
