Club Adventist




Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Here are some questions I might pose to my Sabbath School class to get the discussion started:

1. As Joseph was elevated to high office, what new challenges did he face?

2. How did Joseph keep from being contaminated by the sensual Egyptian civilization around him?
Of these three challenges Joseph faced in high office, which one would you say is the greatest challenge?
You may choose only one

End of Beginning seems a rather strange title for this story don't you think? What exactly is it referring to?

Genesis is "the Book of Beginnings" -- it tells us the story of the beginnings of this world, and actually covers quite a long period of time. The story that we are now studying is, in fact, the "end of the beginnings" -- those beginning stories. We are now ready to move on to the next section of history, the move from the "Patriarchal age", where the father of the family was the patriarch who was responsible for the physical and spiritual leading of his large extended family, plus all of the servants.

Coming in to Exodus we see the change from the patriarchal system to that of the establishment of a nation -- the nation of Israel, God's chosen people who were given the task of spreading the news of the goodness of God to the nations around them. The remainder of the Old Testament fills in the details of this -- showing us God's love and patience with stubborn human beings.
