Rahab: The Transforming Power of Grace

Speaker Phil Congdon
Tamar, the first woman listed in the genealogy of Jesus, playing the role of a prostitute one time.  Rahab, the second woman listed, ran a brothel! Have we gone from bad to worse? No. God's just showing us what's possible when a life is touched by grace.

God's Amazing Grace , Judah and Tamar

Speaker Phil Congdon
James 4.17 says, "To one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin." God's perspective on sin, and His ability to sovereignly bring good out of a corrupt situation, is on display in our passage today - the scandalous story of Judah and Tamar.

A Decision to Choose Grace

Speaker Phil Congdon
Grace is at the heart of Christianity, yet too often it is missing from our Christian experience. Satan misrepresents and cheapens grace, and many believers have lost hold of it. But if you make a decision to choose grace, your life will be a shining witness for Christ.

Learning Patience on the Road of Faith

Speaker Phil Congdon
Genesis 36 is a tiresome and seemingly useless list of Esau's family tree...but it tells a story. Esau conquered the land of Edom; his sons and grandsons are prosperous and powerful. In contrast, Jacob is in Canaan, going nowhere. Why? What lessons are there for us here?
