1. JOSEPH
AND HIS BROTHERS

2. Joseph - Review Was sold by his brothers into slavery in Egypt
Consequences of favoritism in the family
He was a good steward and earned respect
Honesty, kindness, hard work Prov. 3:4
He did not yield to temptation to commit adultery
Avoid being alone with the opposite sex
Thus he was falsely accused and imprisoned
He earned respect and trust in prison
He interpreted dreams for the royal baker and butler, which happened exactly as he said
Revelation comes from God; give Him glory

3. Joseph - Review Pharaoh had dreams & he interpreted them
He became Pharaoh’s royal vizier
All things work together for good Romans 8:28
His brothers came to Egypt for grain
He tested their character in several ways
People can change Romans 12:2; 1 Cor. 6:9-11
He revealed himself to them and invited the family to live in Egypt
We must for forgive others Mark 11:25-26
We must forgive ourselves 1 John 4:16; 1:8-10
