- Read through the account of Joseph in Gen 37-47; identify Godly decisions that Joseph made.

- Discuss the following: “Followers of Christ make decisions that glorify God and reflect His presence in their lives, living in the freedom of Truth through obedience to His Word. They build habits that align their hearts and minds with Christ’s teaching. They are able to separate Biblical Truth from worldy falsehood and prayerfully apply their knowledge of Scripture to recognize what God wants from His children and to respond with a spirit of humility that ultimately allows them to be used to draw others to the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
