Jesus invites us to come to Him in our weariness in order to receive rest. Let’s face it, many of us are exhausted and on the brink of burnout.

To kick off our sermon series on the important women in the genealogy of Jesus, we focus on Tamar. Tamar’s story is filled with prositution, death and incest.

And what can we learn from her story so that we can live righteous lives?
