This Sunday, November 17, 2013, your preschooler will learn about this story:
Joseph Based on Genesis 37; 45; 50:15-21
Story Brief:
Joseph was one of 12 brothers. Joseph’s father loved him the most. He gave him a beautiful coat of many colors. This made his brothers jealous. Joseph’s older brothers helped take care of their father’s sheep. They took the sheep away to find a place for them to eat grass.
Joseph’s father said to him, “I am sending you to find your brothers.” His father wanted to know if the brothers and the sheep were all right.
Joseph left home and walked to the place where his brothers had taken the sheep. He looked around for them, but he could not find them.
Finally Joseph found his brothers. When the brothers saw Joseph, they were mean to him. They sold him as a slave, and he was taken to Egypt. But God helped Joseph in Egypt. The pharaoh put Joseph in charge of all of the grain. Joseph stored up all of the grain when the crops were good. When there were no crops, he sold the grain to people who needed it, even his brothers. God used Joseph to help people.
Christ Focus: Bad things happened to Jesus, but God used Jesus to help and save people.
Life Point: God always has a plan.
Life Verse: Love others as I have loved you. John 15:12
Question: Why were Joseph’s brothers mad at him?
Question: What did they do to Joseph?
Question: What did Joseph tell his brothers when they came to buy grain, saw him, and were afraid?
Bringing the Story Home: Help your preschooler remember a time when something bad happened to a family member. Talk about how you felt and when the feeling went away. Help her understand that God always has a plan for your family.
