Day One at General Conference Session Cont’d
Almost immediately the General Conference Session opened, an invitation was extended to a special guest – the Holy Spirit. Not perhaps the most unusual action, but one taken to signify as ever the primary agenda for the session – mission.
At face value, the agenda seems anything but – as constitution, policy and Church Manual matters dominate, but noticeable is the attempt of leaders to explain the mission potential of each amended action.
In the context of today’s multi-faith world, the…Source: https://adventist.uk/news/article/go/2022-06-07/1203/

Delegates and guests from around the world arrived at America’s Center in St Louis, USA, on Monday for the opening programme of the 61st session of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist. After a two-year delay, this hybrid session feels like a long-awaited family reunion.

11: Joseph, Master of Dreams – Teaching Plan
Key Thought: Joseph is the master of dreams because he receives, understands, and interprets prophetic dreams, and also fulfills them in his life.
June 11, 2022
1. Have a volunteer read Genesis 37:12-36…
- Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
- What family dynamic predisposed Joseph’s brothers to hate him so much?
- Personal Application: Did you have a lot of competition in your family? How did you learn to get along and cooperate? Share your thoughts.
- Case Study: One of your relatives states, “Wasn’t Joseph rash by telling his dream to his family, causing more resentment? Shouldn’t he have kept quiet about the dream and hid this in his heart instead? Was he causing more trouble with his brothers this way?’” How would you respond to your relative?
2. Have a volunteer read Genesis 38:24-26..
- Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
- Do you think Judah may have been afraid to give his youngest to Tamar, because he might die also? Did he think Tamar may be cursed?
- Personal Application: Compare Judah’s behavior with Tamar’s. Which of the two is more righteous and why? Share your thoughts
- Case Study: One of your friends states, “Why didn’t Tamar go directly to Judah in the first place, when his youngest son was of age, and call upon him to give her in marriage to him? Why all this trickery? How would you respond to your friend?
3. Have a volunteer read Genesis Genesis 39:7-11..
- Ask class members to share a short thought on what the main idea of this text is.
- What are the factors that led to Joseph’s success as a manager under Potipher?
- Personal Application: How do we deal with temptation? Can we overcome easily once, but if it is present day after day, how hard is it to reject it constantly? Share your thoughts.
- Case Study: One of your relatives states: “Why did Joseph specifically sat that to do what she asked would be a sin against God? What understanding does he show of the nature of sin and what it is?” How would you respond to your relative?
4. Have a volunteer read Genesis 40:1 – 41:36..
- Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
- How are the dreams of Pharoah related to the dreams of the officers? What is the importance of this parallel?
- Personal Application: How can we learn to trust God and cling to His promises when things don’t appear to be good at all? Share your thoughts.
- Case Study: Think of one person who needs to hear a message from this week’s lesson. Tell the class what you plan to do this week to share with them.
(Truth that is not lived, that is not imparted, loses its life-giving power, its healing virtue. Its blessings can be retained only as it is shared.”Ministry of Healing, p. 148).
Amen!
