2025 THEME: Burning Hearts
Title: Overcoming Life’s Challenges
Scripture: Genesis 35-Exodus 3
I. THE FOUNDATION IS LAID
The foundation for Joseph’s future is laid out in Genesis 37. A series of (dreams) not only
foretold his future but put his (father and brothers) on edge.
Joseph had two dreams:
1. Bundles in a field all (bowing down) to him.
2. The sun, moon and stars all bowed down. This included his (father).
II. LIFE IN THE PITS
Joseph’s life reads like a screenplay in four acts:
1. (Treachery)- 37:18-36
2. (Temptation)- 39:1-18
3. (Disappointment)- 39:19-40:23
4. (Forgiveness or Bitterness)- 41:1-45:15
The conclusion to Joseph’s story is found in chapters 46-50. The story of the people of God
continues into Exodus.
An important takeaway: Genesis 50:19-21. Compare to Romans 8:28
