Opinions and Decisions

Joseph’s story continues. Here Joseph gets a chance to get out of jail...and he takes advantage. Along the way, we learn a lesson that’s helpful for us today about being an opinion maker vs being a decision-maker.

Discussion / Reflection
1| In what arenas are you a decision-maker?

2| In what areas are you an opinion maker?

3| Reflect on Joseph’s life so far. What are some similarities to your life?

Mourning What happens when we step outside of God’s path? Here we see that Joseph has done just that. I actually forgot to circle back to the opening question at the end - I’ll do that tomorrow! Discussion/ Reflection 1| How do you understand freedom? Do you have more of a cultural understanding or a Christian understanding? 2| What has happened when you have stepped outside of the way of God in the past? 3| Do you think Joseph will take this last chance?
