Review this week's message.

Key Thought:
  • Joseph was hated on and betrayed by his own family, have you ever been in the same position with your family?  Have you found yourself jealous of a family member?
  • Joseph was accused of rape by Potiphar’s wife, has anyone lied about you in order to defame your character?

  • If you could live in a different country for a year, which country would you choose?
  • How has your taste in music changed in the past 10 years?
  • What do you enjoy most about your job?


Start thinking. Ask a thoughtful question.
  • Has God given you a dream to accomplish?  Who have you shared your dream with?  
  • Who do you have in your life that you can share what God is trying to accomplish through you?


Start sharing. Choose questions that create openness.
  • Joseph’s greatest strength was always improving his environment and serving others.  Do you improve the lives of those around you or are you a detriment?  
  • How can you be of better service to those around you?


Start doing. Commit to a step and live it out this week.

You can’t go to where God is calling you with unforgiveness in your heart. Who do you need to forgive for God’s purpose to be fulfilled in your life?
