2 Teacher BIBLE STUDY Joseph, his father s favorite son, was the son of Rachel, his favorite wife. Jacob gave his son Joseph a gift that the other boys did not get. Of course this did not endear him to his siblings. Can you imagine that strife was a constant at their home? After sharing his dreams with his brothers and father, he was rebuked by his brothers and his father. In Bible times God often spoke to people through dreams. Joseph s dreams were hard for his family to swallow and believe. Once Joseph was sent to Egypt, God blessed him in the house of Potiphar, a wealthy and influential man in Egypt. Remaining faithful to God, Joseph ended up imprisoned for quite some time. After Joseph had spent years in prison, Pharaoh had a dream which he could not understand. After he described the dream to Joseph, Joseph shared the divine interpretation with Pharaoh. Joseph was made the master of the storehouses and an important official within Egypt. Can you imagine going from prison to second in command overnight? Joseph had two sons whose names were significant to his ordeal. Manasseh means God has made me forget all my hardship in my father s house, and Ephraim means God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction. Joseph recognized who had been with him during his years of separation. Joseph was falsely accused of a crime, which caused him to be sent to prison. Joseph was violently mistreated, ridiculed, and rejected by his family. This was a foreshadowing of how Jesus Christ would be violently mistreated, ridiculed, and rejected by His people. Jesus was also falsely accused of a crime, leading to His death on the cross. Through Jesus death and resurrection, anyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

4 The BIBLE STORY Joseph Sent to Egypt Genesis 37:1-36; 39:1 41:57 Jacob settled in Canaan, the land God promised to Abraham and his family. Jacob s family included several sons, but his favorite son was Joseph. To show his favoritism toward Joseph, Jacob gave him a robe of many colors. At 17 years old, Joseph told his father that some of his brothers were not tending to the sheep like they were supposed to. For this Joseph s brothers hated him and were not kind to him. Joseph shared with his brothers a dream he had. He dreamed that he and his brothers were putting together bundles of grain. Suddenly Joseph s grain stood up and the others bowed down to his. Joseph had another dream that he shared with his brothers and Jacob, too. This dream had the sun, moon, and 11 stars bowing to Joseph. Jacob even rebuked Joseph this time because this dream meant all of Joseph s family, including his mom and dad, would one day bow down to Joseph. This made his brothers jealous. Jacob sent Joseph to check on his brothers, who were tending to the family s sheep several miles away. When the brothers saw him, they decided to kill him. When Reuben, his oldest brother, heard about their plans, he convinced the others to throw him into a pit instead. Reuben planned to rescue him later. The brothers took off Joseph s robe and threw him into the dry pit that was sometimes used to store water for the sheep. While eating a meal, they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites heading to Egypt to sell supplies. The brothers sold Joseph to them as a servant. When Reuben returned to the pit, he found that Joseph wasn t there. The brothers decided to dip Joseph s coat in goat s blood and show it to Jacob. Jacob thought an animal had killed Joseph. He mourned his son s death for a long time. Meanwhile, the Ishmaelites sold Joseph to an Egyptian officer named Potiphar. The Lord was with Joseph and made him successful at everything he did. Potiphar realized this and put him in charge of everything under his authority as his personal assistant. The Lord blessed Potiphar, too. Potiphar s wife tried to get Joseph to sin against God and Potiphar, but Younger Kids Bible Study Leader Guide Unit 3 Session LifeWay Christian Resources

5 Joseph refused. This angered her, and she accused him of doing something he didn t do. Potiphar listened to her, and Joseph was thrown in jail, where the king s prisoners were held. Even in jail, God was with Joseph and blessed him. The jail warden put all the prisoners under Joseph s care, and the Lord again made everything Joseph did successful. While in prison, Joseph was put in charge of two of Pharaoh s top officials, his cupbearer and his baker. Both shared dreams they had with Joseph, and he told them the meaning of the dreams. The dreams meant the cupbearer would serve Pharaoh again, but the baker would not. Joseph asked the cupbearer to tell Pharaoh that Joseph had been unfairly put in prison. The cupbearer forgot about Joseph until two years later when Pharaoh had two dreams. In his dreams seven fat cows were eaten by seven skinny cows, and seven fat heads of grain were eaten by seven thin heads. Pharaoh could find no one to tell him what the dreams meant. That s when the cupbearer remembered Joseph and told Pharaoh how Joseph could interpret the dreams. Pharaoh asked Joseph if he would tell him the meaning of the two dreams. Joseph said he couldn t, but God could use him to tell what they meant. Pharaoh shared his dreams with Joseph. Joseph explained to the Egyptian king that God was warning him about what was about to happen. The dreams represented seven years of lots of food followed by seven years with no food. Joseph told Pharaoh that he should pick someone to save food during the good years to use during the bad years. Pharaoh listened and realized that God s spirit was with Joseph. At age 30 Joseph was made second in command in all of Egypt. Joseph stored away food during the good years, and during the famine, people came from all nations to buy grain from Joseph. Christ Connection: God sent Joseph to Egypt and blessed him, so that he rose to a position of great power. In that position, he was God s instrument for saving his family and many others in the world from death by starvation. Jesus gave up his position of great power to be God s instrument for saving people. Christ s life and death made a way to save people from spiritual death, which is the penalty of sin.

6 Small Group Opening Session Title: Joseph Sent to Egypt Bible Passage: Genesis 37:1-36; 39:1 41:57 Big Picture Question: Who is always with us? God is always with us, even when things happen we don t understand. Key Passage: Genesis 28:15 Unit Christ Connection: Despite difficult circumstances, God remained faithful to the people to whom His promise was given, in preparation for the salvation that would come through Jesus Christ. Tip: As kids arrive this is a great time to collect the offering, fill out attendance sheets, and help new kids connect to your group. large container of crayons Welcome time Arriving activity: My color Place a large container of crayons and crayon pieces in the middle of the room. As kids arrive, share a color with each one. Encourage the kids to find as many crayons as possible that match the color you gave. Before class begins, ask the kids to take their collected crayons to their seats. Encourage the kids to count the whole ones and count the broken ones. Whole crayons are worth 10 points and broken crayons 1 point. The kid with the most points wins. Say We all have favorite colors, but what if something very colorful got you in a lot of trouble? Younger Kids Bible Study Leader Guide Unit 3 Session LifeWay Christian Resources

7 small plates (paper, plastic, or foam), 1 per child heavyweight paper, 1 sheet per kid scissors, 1 per kid sharpened pencil, 1 per kid crayons or markers Activity: Color spinner Provide each child with the materials. Instruct the kids to place their plates facedown on their heavyweight paper. Direct them to trace around the plate, forming a circle. Encourage them to color inside the circle with a mixture of colors. Then show them how to cut out the circle. An adult should use scissors to poke a hole into the center of the circle for each child. Tell each child to insert his pencil in the hole and push the circle almost halfway up the pencil. Each child can use the spinner like a top. Say You now have a spinner of many colors. In today s Bible story, someone receives something else with many colors. See if you can figure out what it is. Transition to large group The Covenant Renewed LifeWay Christian Resources

Introduce the session (1 minute) [Bring a notepad and pencil.] Leader Investigative reporters yes, that s you listen closely. We need another Bible story for today, and I have some tips to find just the right one. When you see an investigative report on TV, hear it on the radio, or read it online or in a newspaper, it only takes a few minutes and it s over. You may not realize that the story took hours, days, weeks, and sometimes months to unfold. Let s find some tips to get us started. Remember what you heard in small group. It might come in handy to help you figure out our story. Timeline map (1 minute) Leader Let s head to our Bible timeline map for our first tip. This is Joseph, and he has found himself in some trouble. This story has lots of ups and downs and took a lot of time to play out. That s our tip. Today s story is Younger Kids Bible Study Leader Guide Unit 3 Session LifeWay Christian Resources

9 about Joseph. It has lots of ups and downs and took a lot of time to take place. Big picture question (2 minutes) Leader It s time to show off your Bible if you brought it. Before we find out our second tip and our big picture question, hold your Bible out for all to see. Remember, if you ever have your own questions about who God is and His plan for you, look to God s Word for the answer. Here s our big picture question. Who is always with us? Our second tip is about Joseph. Despite the ups and downs, there was someone who was always with Joseph. Starry Night Wherever You Go key passage slide or poster Sing (4 minutes) Leader We ve learned from our tips that a lot of ups and downs happened over a long period of time, and they involved Joseph. God knows all about our ups and downs. He knows when we are happy and when we are sad. He knows and loves us. Let s sing to Him. Sing together Starry Night. Key passage (3 minutes) Leader God knew that life would not always be easy for those He chose to carry out the covenant He first made with Abraham, but God promised Jacob He would always be there. That promise is our key passage. Show the slide or poster of the key passage, Genesis 28:15. Lead the boys and girls to read the verse together. Leader God delivered this promise in a dream. Our third tip is that today s story includes several dreams. Before we put all the tips together to discover our story, let s see how well you remember our key passage song. Sing together Wherever You Go. The Covenant Renewed LifeWay Christian Resources

10 Bibles, 1 per kid Joseph Sent to Egypt video Tell the Bible story (10 minutes) Leader Let s look at our tips all together now: Joseph, dreams, and lots of ups and downs. Any ideas? All these tips lead us to Genesis 37. Choose to tell the Bible story in your own words, using the script provided, or show Joseph Sent to Egypt. Leader Joseph was unfairly thrown into a pit, sold into slavery, and put in prison. He was rejected by family and friends, but he remained faithful to God. God never left Joseph. Who is always with us? God is always with us, even when things happen we don t understand. God was not just with Joseph. God was using those bad moments in Joseph s life for something amazing. God was preparing Joseph for a place of power where he could save God s people. Jesus came to save us in a different way. Jesus gave up His place of power to save those who trust in Him. Use Scripture and the guide provided with this session to explain to boys and girls how to become a Christian. Assign individuals to meet with kids who have more questions. If this is not possible, encourage boys and girls to ask their parents, small group leaders, and other Christian adults any questions they may have about becoming a Christian. Ask the following questions about today s Bible story: 1. What did Jacob give Joseph that angered his brothers? (a special coat, Genesis 37:3) 2. Where did Joseph s brothers put him when he came to check on them? (a pit, Genesis 37:24) 3. Where did Joseph end up after being sold into slavery? (Egypt, Genesis 39:1) 4. How did Joseph end up second to only Pharaoh? (by interpreting Pharaoh s dreams, Genesis 41:39-40) Younger Kids Bible Study Leader Guide Unit 3 Session LifeWay Christian Resources

11 5. How does Joseph remind us of Jesus? (Joseph saved people from hunger. Jesus saves us from sin.) Get Back Zach? video big picture question slide or poster Discussion starter video (6 minutes) Leader When someone mistreats you, it is easy to try to hurt that person back. See if this video reminds you of a time in your life. Play Get Back Zach? video. Leader Should Brian let Zach borrow his spoon? Now, how would you respond if someone did something wrong to you? Joseph didn t live a life of revenge or anger. He remained faithful to God, and God never left him alone. Who is always with us? God is always with us, even when things happen we don t understand. When others wrong us, we need to remember that we have wronged God, too. God chose to send us a Savior instead of getting revenge. We should forgive others because God forgave us. God will often use those bad times that we don t understand for great good in our lives or in the lives of others. Show the big picture question slide or poster. Leader Another story solved and reported. Thank you, fellow investigators! Did you notice the answer to the big picture question? Let s say it together. Who is always with us? God is always with us, even when things happen we don t understand. Repeat the question, and let the kids answer. Ask all the kids whose first name starts with an A, B, or C to ask the question and those starting with D, E, or F to answer. Repeat with other combinations. Prayer (3 minutes) Before transitioning to small group, make any necessary The Covenant Renewed LifeWay Christian Resources

12 announcements and lead the kids in prayer. When you pray, thank God for remaining faithful to us even when we are not faithful to Him. Also, pray that each child will be faithful in difficult times. Dismiss to small groups Insights for Large Group Leaders Here are some tips to guide you as you present the gospel to kids in a large group setting. Focus on the gospel. Don t stress about reading every Scripture and every statement given in the guide. Focus on helping kids see their need for a Savior and how Jesus defeated sin. Allow kids an opportunity to respond without pressure from adults or peers. Try to have counselors available to meet one on one with kids. Make sure kids know who they can talk to and when they can talk. Be as concrete as possible. Avoid abstract or highly symbolic phrases like inviting Jesus into your heart or the blood of Jesus covers you. Abstract phrases often lead to distraction and confusion for concrete thinkers. Pray. Pray. Pray. Spend time in prayer as you prepare for the large group session. Pray during the large group time. Pray throughout the week for the kids who heard the gospel presentation. Younger Kids Bible Study Leader Guide Unit 3 Session LifeWay Christian Resources

13 The Gospel: God s Plan for Me Ask kids if they have ever heard the word gospel. Clarify that the word gospel means good news. It is the message about Christ, the kingdom of God, and salvation. Use the following guide to share the gospel with kids. God rules. Explain to kids that the Bible tells us God created everything, and He is in charge of everything. Invite a volunteer to read Genesis 1:1 from her Bible. Read Revelation 4:11 or Colossians 1:16-17 aloud and explain what these verses mean. We sinned. Tell kids that since the time of Adam and Eve, everyone has chosen to disobey God (Romans 3:23). The Bible calls this sin. Because God is holy, God cannot be around sin. Sin separates us from God and deserves God s punishment of death (Romans 6:23). God provided. Choose a child to read John 3:16 aloud. Say that God sent His Son Jesus, the perfect solution to our sin problem, to rescue us from the punishment we deserve. It s something we, as sinners, could never earn on our own. Jesus alone saves us. Read and explain Ephesians 2:8-9. Jesus gives. Share with kids that Jesus lived a perfect life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again. Because Jesus gave up His life for us, we can be welcomed into God s family for eternity. This is the best gift ever! Read Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21; or 1 Peter 3:18. We respond. Tell kids that they can respond to Jesus. Read Romans 10:9-10,13. Review these aspects of our response: Believe in your heart that Jesus alone saves you through what He s already done on the cross. Repent, turning from self and sin to Jesus. Tell God and others that your faith is in Jesus. Offer to talk with any child who is interested in responding to Jesus.

14 Small Group LEADER Session Title: Joseph Sent to Egypt Bible Passage: Genesis 37:1-36; 39:1 41:57 Big Picture Question: Who is always with us? God is always with us, even when things happen we don t understand. Key Passage: Genesis 28:15 Unit Christ Connection: Despite difficult circumstances, God remained faithful to the people to whom His promise was given, in preparation for the salvation that would come through Jesus Christ. key passage poster or slide dry erase board and markers (optional) Key passage activity (5 minutes) Make sure the key passage, Genesis 28:15, is visible for each child, either as the printed poster or written on a whiteboard. Read the verse together. Say Like Jacob, Joseph must have really understood that God was with him. It couldn t have been easy when Joseph was rejected, but Joseph trusted God to watch over him wherever he went. Because he trusted God in a difficult time, God blessed him and anyone who came in contact with him. Who is always with us? God is always with us, even when things happen we don t understand. Let s go over our key passage to help us remember it. Invite the kids to repeat the verse together. Designate a corner of the room as a pretend jail. Choose a student to be in jail. Take her to the corner and close the jail door. Tell the other kids that just like Joseph, she is accused of doing something she didn t do. The only way to release her is to use the key, the key passage. Make sure the key passage poster is hidden. Ask a volunteer to free the jailbird by saying the key passage from memory. Once the volunteer states the Younger Kids Bible Study Leader Guide Unit 3 Session LifeWay Christian Resources

15 passage correctly, free the prisoner. Choose another prisoner. Repeat as time allows. Bibles, 1 per kid small group visual pack big picture question slide or poster LOW PREP yarn, 1 piece several feet long scissors Bible Story Review (10 minutes) Help the kids find Genesis 37 in their Bibles. Use the small group visual pack to show kids where today s Bible story is on the timeline. Say Where can I find Genesis in my Bible? (first book) What Testament can I find Genesis in? (Old Testament) Where do I look to find the page number if I don t know where Genesis is? (Table of Contents page) Ask the kids to stand when something good happens to Joseph and sit when something bad happens. Review the Bible story provided or tell the story in your own words. Say Joseph went through some very tough times and was rejected by those he loved, but he remained faithful during those times because he knew God was with him. Show the big picture question slide or poster. Say Who is always with us? God is always with us, even when things happen we don t understand. God was using those times when Joseph was treated badly to raise Joseph to a position of power so he could save others. Jesus came to save others, too. Only He left a perfect heaven and position of power to become like us to save us from sin. Activity Choice (10 minutes) Activity: Path game Cut a piece of yarn several feet long. Lay it straight and invite the kids to walk it like a tightrope. Once every child has taken a turn, put a few curves in it. Allow each child to The Covenant Renewed LifeWay Christian Resources

16 walk it again. Lay it straight again, and ask each child to hop from one end to the other. Put a few curves in it and ask them to hop across it again. Repeat this pattern by inviting the kids to skip, hop on one leg, and walk backwards. Say When the path is straight, it is much easier to go across. When the path has some difficult turns, it becomes harder to stay on. Life is that way, too. It is easy to be faithful to God when everything is going well, but harder when things get difficult. Joseph remained faithful even then because he knew God was with him. Who is always with us? God is always with us, even when things happen we don t understand.

17 crayons or markers journals journal sheet, 1 per kid Bible story coloring sheet Journal and Prayer (5 minutes) Distribute a journal sheet for each child. Instruct the kids to draw or write on their journal sheet. For example, encourage the kids to draw Joseph in a pit on one half and Joseph as one of Pharaoh s officials on the other. Older kids can write the big picture question and answer below that. The journal is a great place to write prayer requests, too. Keep the journals in the classroom so they will be available every week or as often as you wish to use them. Say Let s look at our big picture question one last time. Who is always with us? God is always with us, even when things happen we don t understand. Make sure each child puts this week s sheet in his journal. Kids who finish the journal pages early may color the Bible story coloring sheet. Collect the journals. Take prayer requests aloud if time remains. End the session with prayer, thanking God for always being with us. Pray for each child by name, and ask God to help each child understand that God is with them during good and bad times.
