    Genesis 37 | Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat

    Reflection Questions  1. The Coat and the Dream In Genesis 37:3–11, Joseph receives a royal robe and dreams that point toward God’s future plan. Where has God given you a glimpse of something He may be doing, and how have others responded to it? How do you handle the tension between God’s calling and people’s misunderstanding? 2. The Brothers’ Jealousy Joseph’s brothers “could not speak peacefully to him.” Where do you see jealousy, comparison, or resentment creeping into your relationships? What does this passage reveal about how quickly jealousy can turn into sin? 3. The Errand to Shechem Jacob sends Joseph alone to the very place where danger still lingers. Where has obedience to God led you into places that feel risky or confusing? How does Joseph’s “Here I am” challenge your own willingness to obey? 4. The Man in the Field A nameless man redirects Joseph to Dothan, unknowingly sending him into the pit. Where has God used an unexpected person or moment to move your life forward? How does this help you trust His providence even when the direction feels costly? 5. The Pit and the Silence Joseph cries out from the pit, and nothing happens. Where are you experiencing silence from God right now? How does this chapter help you distinguish between God’s silence and God’s absence? 6. The Sale for Twenty Shekels Joseph’s brothers sell him for the standard market price of a teenage boy. Where have you felt the sting of being undervalued, betrayed, or dismissed? How does God’s hidden work in Joseph’s life encourage you to trust Him with your own wounds? 7. Jacob’s Grief Jacob mourns for twenty years over a lie. Where are you carrying grief or regret that feels unresolvable? How does the promise of redemption, not reversal, speak into your story? 8. Providence in the Details Joseph ends up in exactly the right house in Egypt, though no one can see it yet. Where can you look back and see God arranging details you didn’t recognize at the time? How does that strengthen your trust in His unseen work today?

    John 1:1-18 | Jesus is God

    UHBC College Ministry 'The Hill' Reflection Questions The author, the disciple John, calls Jesus four things in 18 verses. The Word. The Light. The Life. God. Which one of those is the hardest for you to accept? Verse 12 uses the word received. What is the difference between receiving someone and just agreeing that they exist?If this book is indeed a trial and we are the jury, what further evidence would you want before deciding who Jesus is? Where do you see this battle between the light and the darkness most clearly in your own life?

    Genesis 36 | The Esau Credits

    Reflection Questions Genesis 36:1–8 shows Esau prospering while walking away from God. Where are you tempted to envy people who seem to be thriving without God? What does this passage expose about what you are counting?Esau’s drift happened slowly — one compromise at a time. Where do you see slow drift in your own life? What small alignment needs correcting before it becomes a direction?Esau’s family blended into Canaan over generations. What habits, values, or patterns might you be handing down without meaning to? What would faithfulness look like in front of those who are watching you?Genesis 36 lists kings, chiefs, and territories — seventy‑three names. What “names” or accomplishments are you tempted to measure your life by? How does Hebrews 11 redefine success?Jacob gets one sentence: he lived in a tent. Where is God calling you to embrace being a sojourner rather than chasing what looks impressive?Edom had kings before Israel ever did. Where do you feel behind, overlooked, or small? How does this chapter remind you that God is not building what the world is counting?The line of Esau ends in Herod; the line of Jacob ends in Jesus. How does this help you trust God’s long story rather than your short scoreboard?

    Genesis 35 | Finally to Bethel

    Reflection QuestionsIn Genesis 35:1–4, God calls Jacob back to Bethel after ten years of stopping short. Where have you stopped short of obedience, not by saying no but by simply never going? What step is God calling you to take now?Jacob buries the household gods under the terebinth tree at Shechem. What idols have you moved “to the garage,” keeping them out of sight but not out of your life? What would it look like to bury them instead of storing them?In Genesis 35:5, God protects Jacob with a terror that falls on the surrounding cities. Where have you been living in fear of something God has already covered? How does this passage invite you to trust His protection rather than your own caution?In Genesis 35:9–15, God repeats the promises Jacob already heard, but deeper and fuller. Where has God been repeating something to you, not because you missed it but because you are finally ready to hear it? How is He shaping your perspective?In Genesis 35:16–20, Jacob builds a pillar over Rachel’s grave just days after building a pillar at Bethel. Where are you carrying joy and sorrow side by side? How does this chapter help you see God’s presence in both pillars?In Genesis 35:22, Jacob hears of Reuben’s sin and remains silent again. Where are you tempted to avoid hard conversations, hoping silence will create peace?

Where might favoritism, neglect, or indifference be shaping your relationships? How is God calling you to see and defend those who are vulnerable?In Genesis 34:6–12, Hamor offers Jacob land, offspring, and blessing on Canaanite terms. Where are you tempted to accept shortcuts that promise what God has already promised? How can you discern when an opportunity is actually a compromise?In Genesis 34:13–17, Jacob’s sons use the covenant sign as a weapon. Where are you tempted to use spiritual things, Scripture, or religious identity to justify anger, pride, or control? What would repentance look like in that area?In Genesis 34:25–29, Simeon and Levi avenge Dinah with slaughter, reproducing the very evil they sought to punish. Where has anger led you to escalate rather than heal?

Where do you see self‑protection overshadowing compassion in your own life? How is God inviting you to move toward courage, truth, and sacrificial love?Genesis 34 contains no mention of God, prayer, or worship. Where have you stopped short of obedience, settling in a place God never told you to stay? What step of faith is God calling you to take so you do not remain “a day short of Bethel”?

Where is God calling you to show repentance through action rather than speech?

Where do you need to acknowledge God’s grace instead of rehearsing your own efforts or strategies?

Where might God be calling you to make something right, not out of guilt but out of grace? What step of restoration would reflect God’s work in your life?In Genesis 33:12–17, Jacob chooses the right direction but uses a shaded answer to avoid going to Seir. Where are you tempted to use partial truth instead of full obedience? What would it look like to answer honestly and trust God with the outcome?In Genesis 33:18–20, Jacob stops one day short of Bethel and builds an altar at the wrong address.

    Genesis 32 | Jacob Wrestles With God and Receives a New Name

    Reflection Questions In Genesis 32:1–2, Jacob sees the angels of God at Mahanaim, a second camp he did not build. Where has God met you “on the way,” providing reassurance only after you stepped into something uncertain? How does this strengthen your trust in His presence?In Genesis 32:6–8, Jacob panics at the news of Esau’s approach and immediately begins strategizing. Where do you tend to build your own “two camps,” relying on your plans instead of God’s promises? What does this reveal about your fear?In Genesis 32:9–12, Jacob prays for the first recorded time in Scripture, confessing his unworthiness and anchoring his fear between God’s promises.

Where are you tempted to negotiate your way out of guilt or conflict instead of seeking true reconciliation? What would obedience look like instead?In Genesis 32:24–28, Jacob wrestles with God, is broken, and receives a new name. Where is God wrestling you right now, pressing on an area of self‑reliance or pride? What truth do you need to confess so God can bless you?In Genesis 32:30–31, Jacob sees God face to face and walks away limping. What “limp” has God given you, such as a scar, a weakness, or a reminder, that keeps you dependent on Him? How can you see that limp as grace rather than loss?
