Genesis 38:1—39:2
June 15, 2021
The Bible Bus takes a quick detour from the story of Joseph as we follow the line of Judah. Together we’ll hear more about Judah, his three children (Er, Onan, and Shelah), and meet Tamar, the chosen wife for Er who tricks Judah and gives birth to twins, Pharez and Zerah. It’s a tale of deceit and wickedness that serves as a warning to all of us today, but also a story of God’s redemption plan.
