Description: Holiness is our calling and God's expectation for us.  
Scripture: 1 Peter 1:13-15

After undergoing a long journey to dream fulfillment, Joseph is now writing the story to help redeem his family. 

Title: Joseph the Dreamer. Genesis 41. 

Description: God is honored and Joseph moves from prison to a palace. 

Main Point(s):

Joseph's long route to the dream was developing his character. 

God has a divine direction and sovereign sequence for our lives that we often cannot see ahead of time. 

God can make us fruitful right in the midst of our past problems. 

Title: Joseph Forgotten

Description: In Genesis 40 we find Joseph in prison for a crime he didn't commit. While there he has the opportunity to interpret the dreams of two fellow prisoners - but when the dreams become reality Joseph is forgotten.

Main Point(s): 1. Nothing is wasted with God - despite his circumstances, Joseph is being prepared and equipped for his dream to become reality.

2. Even when we feel forgotten by others, God's "loyal love" never fails us.

Title: Mother's Day Panel
Description: What lessons have you learned as a mom?
Main Point: We all make mistakes, but we can learn from them and encourage one another. 

Title: Joseph the Dreamer. Genesis 39.

Description: After being sold into slavery by his brothers, Joseph rises to responsibility in Potiphar's house. Then he is falsely accused and lands in prison. 

Main Point(s):

1. Joseph's strategy to avoid sexual temptation was to pre-decide, and avoid it. 

2. We look for the right position for our dreams. God is looking for the right person. 

3. We are focused on our destination, he is focused on our development. 

Joseph's brother Judah lives for himself at the expense of others. He gives into the lure of power, pleasure and profit. 

Main Point(s):

1. God sees the victims of injustice and loves and provides for them. 

2. God sees the selfishness of people who hurt others, and confronts them with their sin and gives an opportunity to change. 

3. God still continues to work a good story through broken people. 

God-given dreams often come in glimpses, not the full picture right away. 

God-given dreams are not just about ME. There's always a bigger picture of redemption at work than our success. 

There's a big difference between seeing a moment and understanding the story.
