Reflection & Discussion
Warm-up. Share a scripture that strengthens your faith.
Read: Genesis 39:1-23. Ask God to bless your study.
1. God’s blessings flow to Potiphar through Joseph (39:1-6). What does this have to do with Christians in the workplace?
2. Joseph sees the sin of adultery with Potiphar’s wife as not only against Potiphar but also against God (39:9). Why is sin always primarily against God, even as it is against others?
3. What does Joseph’s resistance to the advances of Potiphar’s wife teach us about resisting sin?
4. Read 1 John 1:5-2:2; Psalm 119:11; 1 Peter 3:12 and Proverbs 6:27. What do these verses teach us about the Christian’s ongoing battle against sin?
5. What does James 1:13-15 and the apostle Paul’s counsel in 1 Corinthians 10:13 tell us about temptation?
6. What parallels do you see between the lives of Joseph and Christ?
7. How does Jesus being our greatest love and passion help us to triumph over temptation?
8. How do you handle the temptation to disillusionment when you are doing your best to live right but everything goes wrong?
