Dear Growth Group leaders,
How are you getting on with these long Old Testament Joseph narratives ?
I hope there is enjoyment that comes from these highly engaging stories of history. The drama itself draws us in.
But these stories aim to do more than entertain. Through them we come to see how God is fulfilling his promises to save: and in this chapter, how God is changing a people to love him and so to trust him, including through adversity. It is easy to miss that bigger point as we ponder silver cups in wheat sacks.
Attached are some questions that you could use next week. Do feel free to change and adjust these as you see fit. The reason we provide these is to give you a head start in your own preparations (but not as a substitute for preparation).
Below is the recording where Jaden and I discuss these questions.
Go well.
in Christ, Mark
