Lesson: Joseph and His Brothers
Bible Passage: Genesis 37
Elementary Focus Verses: Psalm 145:13, Isaiah 26:4, Deuteronomy 7:9, Proverbs 21:1
Summary: Joseph was his father’s favorite son out of twelve brothers. His brothers hated him. One day, they
schemed to throw him into a pit and tell their father he was dead. They sold Joseph to a caravan of traders, and he was taken to Egypt. Joseph encountered more terrible situations, but God was using every single event for good. Eventually, God would use Joseph’s circumstances to place him in a position of power in Egypt, where he would save many lives.

Lesson: The Burning Bush
Bible Passage: Exodus 3
Elementary Focus Verses: Revelation 22:13, Psalm 90:2; John 3:16; 1 John 5:13
Summary: God’s people were slaves in Egypt and were treated harshly. They called out for God to rescue them. Moses was tending sheep and saw a bush on fire, but it wasn’t burning up. God instructed Moses to go to Pharaoh and demand that the Israelite people be released. When Moses asked who to say sent him, the Lord responded with, “I AM who I AM.” God has always existed and always will. Eventually, the people were freed from slavery in Egypt, just like God said.
