PARENTS PAGE CHAPTER 3: Joseph, From Slave to Deputy Pharaoh

Timeless Truth: Though man fails, Gods plan prevails.

Bible Basis: Genesis 3747:11
Key Verse: Joseph said to them, "Don't be afraid. You planned to harm me. But God planned it
for good. Genesis 50:1920, NIrV

Parent Tips:
Use the Table Talk questions to start a discussion around the dinner table during the week.
Additional activities are available on our website www.messiah-indy.org.

Get the Point:
Preschool: God took care of Joseph. God also takes care of me.
Elementary: God worked things out for Josephs good. God knows whats good for me.
Middle School: Through the difficult times in life, God is with me and has an ultimate purpose for my
life.
High School: Josephs life shows that good decisions dont always result in positive earthly
consequences. Following God is its own rewardbut sometimes these rewards are limited to
spiritual rewards.

Table Talk
Preschool/Elementary
Can anybody remember a funny or weird dream youve had recently? (If nobody remembers one,
share one of your own to get the conversation started.)
Do you think that dream has any chance of coming true? Would you like it to come true?
What do you think is the difference between your dreams and Josephs dreams?
What are your hopes and dreams for your life? (Let children share and then tell them some of your
hopes: that theyll always follow God; that youll always have a strong relationship and love them;
that theyll use their talents to serve God.)

Middle/High School
Has anybody told lies about you and gotten you in trouble, like Potiphars wife did to Joseph?
What did it feel like? Did you do anything to get even?
Has anybody made promises to you and then not followed through, like the drink-tester did to
Joseph?
How did that make you feel?
What can you learn from Joseph about patience and continuing to believe in Gods plan during
difficult times?
