What Will You Do With the Dream God Has Given You?

In this message, Pastor Ryan kicked off a new series on the life of Joseph. Joseph’s journey shows us how God plants dreams in us—not just for our future, but to shape who we’re becoming along the way. Use this guide to keep talking about the message and the dreams God has placed inside of you.

• Even when your situation doesn’t look good or feel good, God can work it for your good.

KEY SCRIPTURES

• Genesis 37
• Genesis 50:20

START TALKING 

• What’s the last funny (or crazy) dream you had?

KEEP TALKING

• What dreams has God placed in your heart? 
• Your God-given dream won’t be about you—it will be about others. Who might your dream impact? 
• Read Genesis 50:20. Think about a situation in your life that doesn’t look good or feel good right now. How would your perspective change if you viewed that situation through the lens of Joseph’s words in Genesis 50:20?
• There is always a pit stop on the way to the palace (or your purpose). What “pit stops” have you made in your life? How can you see God’s hand at work when you reflect on that season? 
• What will you do with the dream God has placed in your heart this week? What is one step you can take to pursue that dream?
