Genesis 38 – The Detour That Led to Jesus

Genesis 38 shows us that even in the messiest, most unexpected parts of life, God is still at work. The story of Judah and Tamar is raw, uncomfortable, and often skipped—but it reminds us that God uses broken people and strange detours to accomplish his purposes.

Pastor Kyle unpacks these themes and points to the only true solution: a heart transformed by Jesus Christ. Jesus came for spiritually cracked people—and instead…
