Genesis 38:12-30
3. Judah to Perez

At first glance, Genesis 38 feels like a strange detour—a story of deception, immorality, and broken promises. But when we slow down, we find something powerful: a picture of God’s grace at work in the messiest places. This sermon explores how God used the story of Judah and Tamar—not just despite the scandal, but through it—to move His redemption plan forward. If you've ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you, this passage reminds us: God's grace runs deeper than our failure.
