Genesis: The Road to Timnah
Join us as we continue our journey through the book of Genesis, exploring God’s partnership with a specific family to bring His redemption plan to humanity. This week, we shift our focus from Joseph to Judah—one of Jacob’s twelve sons—and discover how his story is a reflection of our own. Judah’s journey is filled with mistakes, deception, and broken relationships, yet through ownership and repentance, his legacy becomes part of God’s redemptive plan. No matter how big our mistakes, God does not require perfection—only a willingness to recognize, own, and turn from our sin. If you’re struggling with past mistakes or at a crossroads in life, this message is for you. There is no condemnation for those in Christ—only freedom and restoration when we surrender to Him.00:00 - Welcome & Introduction to Genesis Series 00:25 - The Partnership Between God & Abraham 00:54 - Abraham’s Mistake & The Promise of Isaac 01:57 - Isaac & Rebecca’s Sons: Esau & Jacob 02:27 - Jacob’s Deception & His Journey to Laban 02:57 - The Story of Leah, Rachel, & Jacob’s Family 04:50 - Judah’s Story Begins – A Reflection of Our Own 07:08 - The Reality of Mistakes & Their Consequences 09:12 - Joseph, Judah, & The Power of Recognition 10:47 - Selling Joseph into Slavery – The Depth of Betrayal 12:37 - Judah’s Personal Downfall & The Road to Timna 15:38 - Tamar’s Bold Move & Judah’s Moment of Truth 18:32 - The Turning Point – Recognizing & Owning Sin 25:16 - Judah’s Transformation & The Lineage of Jesus 29:54 - God’s Grace: No Condemnation in Christ 32:08 - A Call to Repentance & Restoration 33:36 - Closing Prayer & Invitation to Receive Prayer 36:00 - Final Blessing – Walk in Freedom & Right Relationship

Understanding Generosity
Generosity isn’t just about giving—it’s an act of worship, a blessing, and a powerful witness. In this message, PB shares key insights from his recent Holy Land trip to Egypt and an inspiring conversation with a remarkable woman named Robyn. Through her story and the principles in 2 Corinthians 9, we learn that when we live generously, God blesses us abundantly—not for personal gain, but so we can bless others. Join us as we explore what it means to live a life of radical generosity and how it shapes our faith, church, and community.
