Discussion Questions
Icebreaker:
What is the ‘American Dream’ and who seems like they’ve achieved it?
Discussion Questions:
- What made Joseph’s brothers hate him so much? What did Joseph’s
brother’s jealousy and hatred lead them to do? - How did Jacob’s choices impact his children; and how did their choices
impact him? - What are some ways that God has not answered or even ‘shattered’ our
dreams or the dreams of people we know? - What makes us doubt that sins like jealousy, partiality, pride, or bitterness
have consequences? - What sins might people be tempted to cover up regardless of the cost to
others? - What are some ways in which we might be tempted to view / respond to
suffering wrongly? - What are some clear promises of God that can give us hope in this world
of suffering and sin?
Application Questions:
- Can you share some ways that you have experienced the unintended
consequences of someone else’s sin? - Has your family experienced any types of dysfunction (jealousy, partiality,
etc) similar to Jacob’s family? - Are there any sins of arrogance or envy or bitterness that you need to
confess to God, and replace with prayer for other’s good?
