Lesson: 123 Lesson Name: Joseph's Dream
Theme: Christ the Lord / Mocker's Consequences

Reading: Genesis 37:1-11

Memory Verse: Rom. 14:11
Memory Verse Text: Every knee shall bow to me.

Point 1: Joseph was his father's favorite, a fact which Jacob couldn't help from showing.  (There likely was a moral reason for this favoritism if Jacob could have perceived it.)  As a result, Joseph was seen as unique amongst his brothers.  Application: It would be foolish to show favoritism in our families since everyone has failed in some way.
Point 2: God also marked Joseph out as unique by giving him a revelation in a dream.  God told him in a special way what the future held.  How does He tell us today?
Point 3: Joseph's brothers hated him for what he had said, but Jacob kept what Joseph had said in mind and thought about it (Gen. 37:11).
Point 4: Read Gen. 43:26 with the class to show the fulfillment of God's promise and remind everyone that God will keep His every word.
