Come on out to Harvest Hills Community Church in Clinton for the Bible discussion on the life of Joseph in chapter 40. The title for tonight is, “Sweet dream baby, How long must I dream?”

Week 3: “Sweet dream baby, How long must I dream?”

Genesis 40: Let’s read the chapter

Before we talk about offending someone, let’s review the dreams and how they were interpreted.

“Sweet dream baby, How long must I dream?”


In verse 8, note who gets the credit for the interpretation of these dreams.


What do you learn about Joseph from the way he responded to these two men & their dreams while they were all in prison?


What do we discover about the two men?


In Genesis 40:14-15 and 20-23, how was life once again “unfair” to Joseph? Let’s expand our conversation on verse 15.


Let’s compare Acts 2.17-21, especially verse 17.


The king’s cupbearer and baker offended him! Everybody is offended these days! How do we respond when we are offended? Who have you offended? Who has offended you?

See verse 23; Do you feel like people have forgotten you at times? Do you feel God has forgotten you, as well? Have we forgotten others? Have we forgotten God?
