a. Review GOOD TOUCH (5 minutes)
Bible Reading: Mark 10:13-16
13 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
|
15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." 16 And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.

• Joseph worked in
the house of Potiphar and was placed over all of his wealth.
(Good)

• Potiphar's wife told some terrible
lies about Joseph to her husband. (Bad)

c. Teach the Lesson (15 minutes)
Introduction:
Bible Teaching: (Use GOOD and BAD
signs)
| While Joseph was in the prison, 21
the Lord was with him; (Good) he
showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes
of the prison warden. (Good) 22 So the
warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison,
and he was made responsible for all that was done there.
(Good) |
|
23 The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph's care, because the Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. (Good)
While Joseph was in prison he had two friends, the kings cupbearer
(butler) and the king's baker. They had both offended the king and
he had them imprisoned. (Bad)
One night, they both had dreams
and were troubled. Joseph interpreted them. Three days would pass and the cupbearer would be restored... (Good)
|
|
But the baker would be beheaded. (Bad) This
was exactly what happened. He then asked the butler to mention
him to Pharaoh and remind him how he had done nothing wrong
and should be released from prison, (Good) unfortunately
the butler forgot all about Joseph once he was released! (Bad)
|
Joseph had a long list of reasons to be angry at God and life.
He certainly could have walked around bitterly with a chip on his
shoulder.
Think of Joseph's life over 13 years
. At around 17 years old, he was sold to merchants and slave
traders by his own brothers. After things in Egypt were starting
to look up for him, he was falsely accused of attempted rape and
unjustly imprisoned. Again, things were going well for
Joseph, even while in prison. After some time in prison,
he interpreted dreams for Pharaoh's butler and baker. He asked
the butler to remember him when the butler was restored to his position. Now
to add insult to injury, he is forgotten.for two years Hated, betrayed,
rejection, abandoned, sold, enslaved, framed, imprisoned, forgotten
sounds like a raw deal for over a decade, right?
Yet in all his time in Egypt however, this is the first time Joseph
displays unbelief when he put his trust in what man can do instead
of depending on what God can do by getting impatient and asking
the cupbearer to speak a good word for him.
Have you ever promised to do something for someone, who maybe has
done a favour for you, and then you forgot to do it?
It is important that you do what you promise if it is within your
power to do so. Let your word be your bond.
