The following lesson was taught in our children’s Sunday School
classes on Sunday, October 7. We would encourage you to use
the ideas below to review Sunday’s lesson with your family.
God Preserves Joseph and Israel
Read: Genesis 37, 39-50
Sing: “Rejoice in the Lord Always”
Ask your child:
- What did Joseph’s brothers do to him?
His brothers sold him into slavery. - What happened after Joseph was sold into slavery?
He interpreted dreams for Pharaoh and was put in charge of Egypt. - How did God reunite Joseph and his brothers?
The famine brought them together. Joseph forgave and cared for his family.
Emphasize this principle: God uses everything in our lives to help us grow. Therefore, we should please him with every choice we make.
Practice what we learn:
- Trust God, even when life is hard.
- Forgive others when they sin against you.
Next week: Genesis 1-50
Memory verse for Sep 16 – Oct 7: “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17*
