LESSON: JACOB BECOMES A SLAVE. FOCUS: Jacob favored Joseph over his other sons, which made them jealous. Joseph's dreams indicated that he would one day rule over his family. This made his brothers even angrier. So they sold Joseph into slavery, and he was taken to Egypt. In spite of the brothers' sin, God used these events to bring Joseph to Egypt and accomplish his sovereign plan. PASSAGES: Genesis 37:5-11, 18-22, 36. OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to describe the meaning of Joseph's dream and identify the events God used to bring Joseph to Egypt. Memory Verse: Proverbs 3:5-6 - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths."
