The Pharaoh's Dreams

Theme: Perseverance

Joseph had been sold into slavery and unjustly thrown into prison in Eqypt. When the great Pharaoh of this land began to have troubling dreams, Joseph was called before the king that God might reveal the meaning of the strange images he saw.

Additional Text: Acts 2:17-18

Lesson Prayer

Holy God, you are the source of all strength in our lives. Without you we are weak and tend to give up easily. Grant us the courage and strength you gave to Joseph, that we might endure hardships and trials with your grace. We thank you for always being with us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Creative Idea for the Week

Dream Journal

Have the kids see if tey can write down their dreams over the next week. Encourage them to write down what they remember first thing when they waker up. Next week, ask if any would be willing to share an interesting dream they had, remembering that (like the Pharaoh) we don't always know what our dreams mean.
