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?

Final Words As he prepares to die, Jacob speaks these final words to his sons. Some are beautiful, others are harsh. Some answer questions we have, some raise new questions. Discussion / Reflection 1| What words would you (or did you) long to hear from your parents on their deathbed l? 2| If you have children, what do you hope to be able to say to/of your sons or daughters before you pass? 3| Again, how do you maintain your convictions in the face of pressure to conform?

The Fall There’s a lot here: Jacob stands up, Joseph falls, and we have to ask whether we are holding on to what is good at the risk of losing what is great. Discussion/ Reflection 1| What good things are you holding on to at the risk of missing what is next? 2| How are you tempted to building “Pharaoh’s Kingdom” (or your own kingdom) rather than work within God’s Kingdom?
