Heal a Hurting Heart - Child Soldiers Lesson #2 By the end of this lesson the child should be able to: • Understand that Joseph was betrayed by his brothers and thrown into a pit and separated from his father. Genesis 37: 17-24
AS KIDS ARRIVE PRIOR TO THE LESSON (10 minutes) ACTIVITY Make a friend with a string: Put half the group on one side and half on the other. Have half the number of strings as people. Hand out the strings to each person on the left side, criss crossing the strings so they are tangled up, hand out the other end of the string to the children on the right side. When the game starts the children have to untangled their string so they can follow their string to find their new friend on the other side. (This will cause lots of laughter and confusion and break the ice before the class begins) Supplies needed: • Paper crayons and paints to create a storm painting.

How do we deal with challenges? Oh, I wish it could be a one-time decision. I wish we could just do the right thing and be done with it, but we have learned from Joseph that trusting God is an ongoing challenge. It is a lifetime commitment. There will be ups and downs. There will be times when it will seem much easier to just give in. But Joseph reminds us that it is possible to be faithful over a long period of time in very difficult circumstances What kind of attitude do we have when life doesn’t go as we think it should? What do we do when it seems like God has forgotten about us? Like Joseph, we might be tempted to give up, but hopefully we also hang on and continue doing what we need to do. We think of some of what the apostle Paul went through – beatings, and shipwrecks, and all kinds of abuse – and this is what Paul said in 2 Corinthians 4:7-9, “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves; we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.” Paul had a rough life, but he also refused to let the dream die. Paul continued living the Christian life. Paul, like Joseph, in the waiting room of disappointment, continued to hang on to God’s plan for his life. Both men continued putting their trust in God. http://www.fourlakescoc.org/Sermons/websermonupdates/1188_web.pdf Before we close, I must tell you that this is not the end of the story of Joseph and his brothers. The story does have a happy ending and Joseph is reunited with his father and brothers. But for today, we learn the lesson of the terrible things that happen because of the sin of jealousy.
