故事与讨论(15分钟)

介绍：

今天我们将学习神如何帮助一个叫约瑟的年轻人度过一些非常困难的时期。他是十二个儿子中的一个。然而，他的父亲雅各最喜欢他。这让其他兄弟非常嫉妒。让我们读故事，看看发生了什么事情。

读创世记37:3-28; 39:1-6（约瑟和他的兄弟们）

讨论问题：

1.雅各给约瑟什么来表达他有多么爱他？（一件华丽的外袍。）

2.约瑟的兄弟们对他有什么感觉？为什么？（他们恨他，因为他是他们父亲最喜欢的儿子。）

3.神给约瑟什么让他的兄弟更加恨他？（两个梦。在这些梦中，约瑟的家人都向他俯伏。）

4.约瑟的兄弟们因为恨他嫉妒他而做了什么？（他们把约瑟卖给了去埃及的奴隶贩子。）

5.因为耶和华与约瑟同在，他在埃及经历了什么？（耶和华使他所作的一切都顺利，让他兴盛发达。）

6.波提乏见到耶和华与约瑟同在后，他做了什么？（他把约瑟任命为他整个家和所有财产的负责人。）

7.是谁让约瑟从一个奴隶的地位上升到了埃及的权力中心？（神。）

8.尽管约瑟的兄弟们试图加害他，但约瑟因选择敬畏和跟随神而兴盛。当面对困难时，我们应该怎么做？（无论何时，我们都应该爱、敬畏和跟随神，因为我们知道祂爱我们，并且会为供应爱祂的人。）

应用(4分钟)

约瑟的生活看似顺利。他是父亲的宠儿，受到特殊关注，然后突然间，他的生活被颠覆了。约瑟本可能变得消极愤世嫉俗。相反，他信靠并跟随神。别人打算用来作恶的事情，神却用来成就善事。神继续在约瑟的一生中帮助他兴盛。有时，我们生活中的事可能会变得更糟。我们的家人可能会伤害我们。如果我们无论如何都继续爱、敬畏和跟随神，祂会照祂的旨意供应我们。

下节课

约瑟似乎一切顺利，但请下周回来，看看事情如何迅速改变。

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes)

"The greedy stir up conflict, but those who trust in the Lord will prosper." Proverbs 28:25 NIV

Have the children look the verse up in their Bibles, and then read it together several times. Next, have them copy the verse to a blank sheet of paper. Under the verse, have them draw a picture of how God has helped them in the past.

SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)

Introduction:Today we will learn how God helped a young man named Joseph get through some very difficult times. He was one of twelve sons. However, Jacob, his father, liked him the best. This made the other brothers very jealous. Let's read the story and find out what happened to this young man.

Read Genesis 37:3-28; 39:1-6 (Joseph and His Jealous Brothers)

Discussion Questions:

1. What did Jacob give to Joseph to show how much he loved him? (A richly ornamented robe.)

2. How did Joseph's brothers feel about him and why? (They hated him, because he was their father's favorite son.)

3. What did God give to Joseph that made his brothers hate him even more? (Two dreams. In these dreams the members of Joseph's family were bowing down to him.)

4. What did Joseph's brothers do because of their hatred and jealousy toward him? (They sold Joseph to slave traders on their way to Egypt.)

5. What happened to Joseph in Egypt because the Lord was with him? (The Lord gave him success in everything he did, and allowed him to prosper.)

6. When Potiphar saw the Lord was with Joseph, what did he do? (He put Joseph in charge of his entire household and everything he owned.)

7. Who made it possible for Joseph to rise from being a slave into a place of power in Egypt? (God.)

8. Although Joseph's brothers tried to do harm, Joseph prospered because he chose to honor and follow God. What should we do when faced with difficult situations? (We should love, honor, and follow God no matter what, because we know that He loves us and will work for the good of those who love Him.)

APPLICATION (4 minutes)

Joseph had it made. He was his father's favorite and got some special attention, and then all of a sudden his life was turned upside down. Joseph could have given up and become bitter. Instead, he trusted and followed God's purpose. What others meant for evil, God used for good. God continued to help Joseph prosper throughout his life. Sometimes, things in our lives may change for the worse. Our family members may hurt our feelings or even harm us. If we continue to love, honor, and follow God no matter what, He will take care of us according to His purpose.

NEXT WEEK

Things seem to be going great for Joseph, but come back next week to find out how things can quickly change.
