Dream, Dream, What Does it Mean?

This week's lesson is from Genesis 40, 41 where Jospeh interprets dreams. After reading the story from The Young Learner's Bible Storybook kiddos will imagine something wonderful of their own. We'll discuss how everyone dreams but they're often confusing and it can be hard to tell what's real and what's not. We'll learn that only God understands everything, and whenever we have questions we can ask God to help us understand. I also included a fun puzzle/word search for students to complete. Answers are below! Here's the bundle to download pages 4-5.



1. daydreaming
2. sleep
3. nightmares
4. imagine
5. remember

July 26: God's People Grow

After reviewing the last 4 weeks, read "part 5" of The Big Picture Story Bible. I started out by giving each child a coloring page of Joseph. I explained that the this story begins when his dad, Jacob, gave him a coat of many colors. I encouraged the kids to color the picture while I listed several reasons Joseph's brothers hated him, before beginning the story.

After reading, we discussed what happened.

What did Joseph's brothers do to him? Why? Was Joseph alone in Egypt? Who was with him?

How did God take care of Joseph? Why do you think God made Joseph a helper to the Egyptians?

When Joseph's brothers came for food, how did he respond?

What parts of God's promise to Abraham can we see in this story?

If Joseph had chosen to be spiteful to his brothers and turn away their request, God's promise to Abraham could have ended right there. He would've had his revenge on his brothers, but would have (unknowingly) lost God's blessing for the family to become great. God's people kept growing!

Do you think Egypt will be the promised land for Abraham's family?
