2. “THE LORD WAS WITH JOSEPH” IN HIS
ADVERSITY.
• Like Joseph, we may be experiencing difficult trials. Yet through
it all, the Lord was always with Joseph:
• Genesis 37–41; Joseph sold by his brothers
• Genesis 39; Joseph becomes ruler of Potiphar’s house; Falsely accused and is cast
in prison
• 40:1–19; Joseph interprets the dream of the chief butler and chief baker – The
butler fails to tell Pharaoh about Joseph
• 41:9–45. Joseph interprets the Pharaoh’s dream
• What lesson can we take from the story of Joseph?
• Anyone want to share experiences when the Lord was with you during a
difficult trial? How can we learn to better see the Lord’s presence in our lives?

5. JOSEPH AS A “TYPE OF CHRIST”
How does the life of Joseph point to Jesus Christ?
13. LESSONS FROM MOSES’ LIFE
• What can we learn from how the Lord responded to Moses’s concerns about the
task of delivering the Israelites from bondage?
• See Exodus 3:10-16; 4:1–8, 10-15, looking for Moses’s concerns and the Lord’s responses to
each.
• How could the Lord’s responses help us when we have doubts about our abilities to do His
work?
• Any examples of this in your life?
• Exodus 7–10 describes Pharaoh’s heart found as “hard”. Why is it necessary to
have a soft heart? Mosiah 3:19; Ether 12:27.
• Heavenly Father delivers us as we follow the Spirit.
• The Red Sea seemed like a dead end to the Israelites, but God knew things they
didn’t. What most inspires you about this account? Have there been times in your
life when the Lord delivered you from trials?
14. CELEBRATING EASTER
• The Passover is filled with symbolism to bring to remembrance
