    • As you look back on our study of Genesis 25–50, what is one truth you hope will make a practical difference in your life a year from now?

          • What makes reconciliation in broken relationships so difficult?
          • Why is it important for each person in a broken relationship to take ownership of their own sin rather than focus on the other person’s failures?

          • Waiting on the Lord

            Kevin Wolfe – Genesis 40-41

            Bulletin
            Discussion & Reflection Questions

            • Looking back over Joseph’s story to this point (Genesis 37–41), what has encouraged or challenged you most about his faith and God’s work in his life?
            • Why is waiting on the Lord so difficult? What makes it especially challenging to trust God’s timing?
            • Joseph’s circumstances changed dramatically, but God’s presence with him remained constant. How does knowing that the Lord is with you change the way you endure seasons of waiting?
            • Joseph consistently pointed others to God, both in prison and in the palace. What are some practical ways you can put the Lord on display while you wait on Him?
            • Looking back on your own life, can you think of a season when God was accomplishing far more than you realized while you were waiting? What did He teach you through it?

                  • What stood out most to you from this sermon? Why?
                  • How did favoritism contribute to the conflict in Joseph’s family? What lessons can parents, grandparents, and other family members learn from this account?
                  • Joseph could not see what God was doing while he was being betrayed and sold into slavery. How does the truth of God’s “hidden hand” encourage you when you face circumstances that seem confusing, painful, or unfair?
                  • Can you identify a difficult, disappointing, or even evil situation in your life through which God later brought about good? What did that experience teach you about God’s providence?
                  • What similarities do you see between Joseph’s life and the life of Jesus? How do these parallels help you better understand God’s plan of redemption and cause you to worship Him?

                    • What are the idols that may have survived your transformation? Do they seem to be more active or passive? What would repentance in these areas look like?

                    • God blessed Jacob right before some of the hardest seasons of his life. How does this challenge our typical definition of “blessing”?
                    • What might it practically look like to be honest about your frailty and more fully lean on God’s fortitude?
