God Breaks Through | Genesis 38

He grew up in a complicated family. He endured betrayal, hardship, injustice, and isolation. Yet in one of the Bible’s most dramatic reversals, Joseph rose to a place of power and authority, delivering God’s people and preserving the covenant family. In this series, we explore Genesis 37-50, following the story of God's providence in the life of a “beloved son" who prefigures a Greater Son to come.

In one of the most R-rated chapters of the Bible, we follow Joseph’s brother Judah on a downward journey of sexual sin and selfishness. But in the end, we see God’s grace breaking through to transform Judah as he encounters the daring faith of his daughter-in-law Tamar.
