Ben Grisez - Genesis 38:1-30 God's Grace Breaks Through

Calvary Chapel Sydney

Synopsis: This chapter takes a brief detour from the life of Joseph to reveal circumstances from the life of Judah and his daughter-in-law Tamar only God could redeem. Bible passages that seem most repugnant can be most relevant because we are all sinners in need of God's gracious intervention, salvation and redemption. It is a small thing to point out the faults of others, but the wise will follow God's prompting to confess and forsake their own sin.
