Week 3: Trusting in God when life seems unfair
Scripture: Genesis 40 (The Cupbearer and the Baker)
Takeaway: Even when life feels unfair, slow, or stuck, God is still at work. Your faithfulness in the waiting seasons prepares you for the opportunities He has ahead.
Parent Discussion Questions:
1. “Have you ever done the right thing and still felt forgotten or stuck, like Joseph in prison?”
2. “Why do waiting seasons feel so frustrating—especially when you don’t know how long they’ll last?”
3. How do you think God might use waiting seasons to prepare you for something bigger later on?
Week 4: Forgiveness Over Revenge
Scripture: Genesis 42 (Joseph reveals himself to his brothers)
Takeaway: When someone hurts you, the natural response is anger, but God calls us to forgiveness and grace. Forgiveness frees you and allows God’s plan to unfold.
Parent Discussion Questions:
1. When someone hurts you deeply, what feels easier: forgiveness or seeking revenge? Why do you think that is?
2. Joseph had the power to punish his brothers, but chose forgiveness. What do you think forgiveness gave Joseph that revenge never could?
3. How does remembering how much we’ve been forgiven by God change the way we respond to people who hurt us?
