Relations get tangled quickly in a family. Most conflict could be avoided by doing the right thing first.. Audio available at http://edthepastor.podbean.com/e/family-affair-genesis-38/?token=1a72bac1efaaad06baf4ed1542b9ffde
Everyone in this chapter sins. Isaac is physically blind, but worse he is blind to the will of God. Esau has sold his birthright and seeks revenge when his brother steals the blessing. Rebekah, knowing the God has decreed Jacob to be blessed, uses her own cunning to accomplish God's purpose. Jacob, is willingly and knowingly complicit in expediting his mother's scheme, supplanting his brother and grasping his father's blessing. Yet, in spite of all this, God's sovereign purpose is fulfilled. Man's sin neither thwarts nor obviates divine providence!
This presentation moves verse-by-verse through the first chapter of Revelation and sets the stage for Christ's seven letters to His seven churches of the ancient world.

God provided the cities of refuge so that those who had accidentally killed another could flee to a place of justice and mercy. In the Messiah, we all have this hope.. We can flee to Jesus for refuge from our sins, but this also requires that we remember that our congregation is to be a place of refuge for one another and also those who are lost in sin.

God's amazing grace and mercy are profoundly evidenced in this account of Abraham and Sarah, who deceived a pagan king, just after they were promised by God the miraculous birth of Isaac. Their deception, unwittingly perhaps to Abraham and Sarah but clearly a scheme of Satan, threatened the fulfilment of God's promise. However, God providentially thwarted Satan's scheme and Isaac was born as God decreed.
Abraham's walk of faith provides invaluable practical lessons to every believer: the cost, the obstacles, the ups and downs, the rewards, and , most importantly, the object of faith. This chapter is a must read and study for every believer.
Among the many chapters in the Bible Genesis 22 stands out among the most significant, personal and poignant. As a vivid picture of substitutionary atonement, the event of Abraham's offering his son, portends the Father's offering of His Son, Jesus, on the cross.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. Genesis 38
1 And it came about at that time, that Judah departed
from his brothers and visited a certain Adullamite,
whose name was Hirah. 2 Judah saw there a daughter
of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; and he
took her and went in to her. 3 So she conceived and
bore a son and he named him Er. 4 Then she conceived
again and bore a son and named him Onan. 5 She bore
still another son and named him Shelah; and it was at
Chezib that she bore him. 6 Now Judah took a wife for
3. Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. 7 But Er,
Judah’s firstborn, was evil in the sight of the LORD, so
the LORD took his life. 8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in
to your brother’s wife, and perform your duty as a
brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your
brother.” 9 Onan knew that the offspring would not be
his; so when he went in to his brother’s wife, he wasted
his seed on the ground in order not to give offspring to
his brother. 10 But what he did was displeasing in the
sight of the LORD; so He took his life also. 11 Then Judah
said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Remain a widow in
your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up”;
4. for he thought, “I am afraid that he too may die like his
brothers.” So Tamar went and lived in her father’s
house. 12 Now after a considerable time Shua’s
daughter, the wife of Judah, died; and when the time of
mourning was ended, Judah went up to his
sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the
Adullamite. 13 It was told to Tamar, “Behold, your
father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
14 So she removed her widow’s garments and covered
herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the
gateway of Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for
she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she had not
5. been given to him as a wife. 15 When Judah saw her, he
thought she was a harlot, for she had covered her face.
16 So he turned aside to her by the road, and said,
“Here now, let me come in to you”; for he did not know
that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, “What
will you give me, that you may come in to me?” 17 He
said, therefore, “I will send you a young goat from the
flock.” She said, moreover, “Will you give a pledge until
you send it?” 18 He said, “What pledge shall I give you?”
And she said, “Your seal and your cord, and your staff
that is in your hand.” So he gave them to her and went
in to her, and she conceived by him. 19 Then she arose
6. and departed, and removed her veil and put on her
widow’s garments. 20 When Judah sent the young goat
by his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from
the woman’s hand, he did not find her. 21 He asked the
men of her place, saying, “Where is the temple
prostitute who was by the road at Enaim?” But they
said, “There has been no temple prostitute here.” 22 So
he returned to Judah, and said, “I did not find her; and
furthermore, the men of the place said, ‘There has
been no temple prostitute here.’ ” 23 Then Judah said,
“Let her keep them, otherwise we will become a
laughingstock. After all, I sent this young goat, but
7. you did not find her.” 24 Now it was about three months
later that Judah was informed, “Your daughter-in-law
Tamar has played the harlot, and behold, she is also
with child by harlotry.” Then Judah said, “Bring her out
and let her be burned!” 25 It was while she was being
brought out that she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “I
am with child by the man to whom these things
belong.” And she said, “Please examine and see, whose
signet ring and cords and staff are these?” 26 Judah
recognized them, and said, “She is more righteous than
I, inasmuch as I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And
he did not have relations with her again. 27 It came
8. about at the time she was giving birth, that behold,
there were twins in her womb. 28 Moreover, it took
place while she was giving birth, one put out a hand,
and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his
hand, saying, “This one came out first.” 29 But it came
about as he drew back his hand, that behold, his
brother came out. Then she said, “What a breach you
have made for yourself!” So he was named Perez. 30
Afterward his brother came out who had the scarlet
thread on his hand; and he was named Zerah.

his son many days. Then all
his sons and all his daughters
arose to comfort him, but he
refused to be comforted.
And he said, “Surely I will go
down to Sheol in mourning
for my son.” So his father
wept for him.
14. Found a wife
Not a bad thing
Physical attraction
Genesis 2:24 For this reason a
man shall leave his father
and his mother, and be
joined to his wife; and
they shall become one
flesh.

Genesis 38:10
22. Final choice
Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Remain
a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah
grows up”; for he thought, “I am afraid that he too may
die like his brothers.” So Tamar went and lived in her
father’s house.
Genesis 38:11
24. No Accident
It was told to Tamar, “Behold, your father-in-law is
going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.” So she
removed her widow’s garments and covered herself
with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gateway
of Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw
that Shelah had grown up, and she had not been given
to him as a wife. When Judah saw her, he thought she
was a harlot, for she had covered her face.
Genesis 38:13–15
25. Dirty Old Man
16 So he turned aside to her by the road, and said, “Here now,
let me come in to you”; for he did not know that she was his
daughter-in-law. And she said, “What will you give me, that you
may come in to me?” 17 He said, therefore, “I will send you a
young goat from the flock.” She said, moreover, “Will you give a
pledge until you send it?” 18 He said, “What pledge shall I give
you?” And she said, “Your seal and your cord, and your staff
that is in your hand.” So he gave them to her and went in to
her, and she conceived by him. 19 Then she arose and departed,
and removed her veil and put on her widow’s garments.
Genesis 38:16–19
26. Botched payment attempt
Sent his friend
No temple prostitute here
Let her keep them,
otherwise we will
become a
laughingstock. After all,
I sent this young goat,
but you did not find her.
28. Three months later
Judah was informed, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has
played the harlot, and behold, she is also with child by
harlotry.” Then Judah said, “Bring her out and let her be
burned!”
30. Her defense
“I am with child by the man to whom these things
belong.” And she said, “Please examine and see, whose
signet ring and cords and staff are these?”
Not even present!
32. What can he say?
Judah recognized them, and said, “She is more righteous
than I, inasmuch as I did not give her to my son Shelah.”
And he did not have relations with her again.
