Built on Rock for Families Built on Rock

This week we’re reflecting on Genesis chapters 40-41, where God enables Joseph to interpret various kinds of dreams… and consider something of his character, over a 13 year period, as we encounter him hitting his lowest low before being raised up as one of the heads of the Egyptian empire.


It's dead easy to lose sight of God's big plan in the midst of the 'everyday mundane'. Can we think of ways to remind ourselves, in  these 'nothing' moments, when nothing major is happening to us, that the boring-every-day-routine is STILL a part of God's big plan?

This week we reflect on Genesis 39. 

Joseph is pursued by Potiphar's wife, and suffers as a result of doing what was right. 

We consider the plans God has for Joseph, even when it seems sin is going to derail those plans.

And even though Joseph is faithful and does what is right, he still endures hardship and injustice - where is God? Why isn't he rewarded, or blessed?

Between June and the summer break, Caleb and Ste will offer a brief overview of our Sunday lessons from Genesis, looking at the story of Joseph, with some thoughts for application as a family.

This is our first attempt, and we'd love to hear from you what you'd find helpful in future episodes. Please let us know - we want these to be as helpful to you as possible.
