Why Is This Happening To Me?

Joseph In Prison

July 20, 2024 • SLAM

Joseph did the right thing. He resisted temptation and refused to give into Potiphar’s wife. As a result, he was

falsely accused and thrown into prison. That seems like a terrible thing to happen to someone who just obeyed God.

Sometimes, even when we choose to do the right thing, life can deal us a bad hand. In those moments, we have a choice to make. Will we blame God and get angry? Or will we continue to do what’s right despite our

situation?

In this lesson, we learn about Joseph’s response to hard times. Like Joseph, we must continue to do right even when everything seems to be going wrong.

Nobody's Perfect

June 29, 2024 • SLAM, Ashton Kohler

Many of us think that our past, our family history, or our supposed lack of ability exempts us from being eligible to be used by God. If we use those items as a checklist, MOST of us would most certainly be eliminated from consideration. God, however, doesn’t see things the way we do. God looks beyond the outward appearance and present circumstances to see what we can become. If we allow Him, God can take our lives and use them in a big way. In this lesson, the kids will learn that Joseph’s past, family, and situation was less than perfect. Yet, God used Joseph in a mighty way, just as He will use each child who is willing.

Dream A Big Dream

July 6, 2024 • SLAM

Dreams can be tricky. It’s not always easy to tell the difference between a dream from God and “too much pizza the night before.” But, we can know that God wants us to dream BIG for Him. Joseph had a dream. The only problem was, he didn’t handle his dream the right way. Although God wants us to dream big for Him, we should not use God’s dream for our lives as a means of making ourselves feel more important than others. In this lesson, the children will be challenged to dream big for God and to use that dream to accomplish God’s will for their lives. Through the story of Joseph sharing his dream with his brothers, the children will learn the right time and manner in which to share the dream that God has placed in their hearts.

Running From Temptation

July 13, 2024 • SLAM

Joseph was sold as a slave to Potiphar. He soon found himself in charge of Potiphar’s house. Potiphar’s wife noticed how amazing Joseph was and she wanted Joseph to be her “boyfriend.” Joseph knew that it was wrong to be the boyfriend of a married woman. He resisted temptation, but Potiphar’s wife wouldn’t give up. Many times we face temptation to sin and it is difficult to resist. Some people think it is impossible to live a life without sinning. Although nobody is perfect, it is possible to resist temptation and keep from sinning. In this lesson, the children will learn from Joseph’s good example. They will learn how to handle temptation in the right way and NOT sin.
