Genesis 40-41
•	List the ways in which Joseph has grown and developed since we first met him in Genesis 37.  Can you see ways in which God has grown you over time?
•	Genesis 40 describes Joseph’s hopes being raised and then dashed.  Is this often the way God works?  Why might God do this?  Has he ever done this to you?
•	Genesis 40-41 is a story about remembering and forgetting.  Pick out the references to this theme and fit them together.  What is it saying about God’s memory and mankind’s?
•	How can we stop ourselves being bitter if people forget us?  Can you think of a specific example from your experience?
•	Joseph is convinced that God is determined to keep his promise to him and is in a hurry to do it (See Gen 41:32 remembering that Joseph too had two dreams).  For what promises of God do you need Joseph’s confidence?
•	Prayer:  Let each member identify one biblical promise which is precious to them and then pray for one another that our faith will remain strong.
