Tamar - When Life Feels Unfair

Tamar’s story in Genesis 38 also looked impossible. It is marked by death, deception, dysfunction, and disgrace as she was abandoned, forgotten, and hopeless. Yet even in her darkest and messiest moments, God’s mercy was still at work.

In this message, Dr. Pete Pawelek walks through Tamar’s life to show us five powerful truths:

1. Mercy in the Problem – when life felt unfair.

2, Mercy in the Ploy – when desperation led to bad decisions.

3. Mercy in the Proof – when sin was exposed.

4. Mercy in the Provision – when God preserved her family line.

5. Mercy in the Plan – when God wove her messy story into the line of Christ.

The same mercy that redeemed Tamar’s story is available to you today. What looks impossible to you—healing, forgiveness, restoration, eternal life—has already been made possible through the cross of Jesus Christ.
