Sovereignty of God Prerequisite: (cohort) Share testimonies about God’s sovereignty and/ or how you have seen His hand divinely orchestrating circumstances in your life to make you who you are.

1. (Individually) Do a study on the life of Joseph (Genesis 37- 47). After you go through the account of his life consider the following:

a) Life from Joseph’s side (what was his response to his lot in life?)

b) Joseph’s life from God’s point of view (What was His purpose and plan?)

2. (cohort) A leader from the church will come in and do an in- depth teaching on God’s sovereignty.

3. (teams) Spend significant time praising God for His sovereign control of your life. Express thanksgiving for the freedom that reality brings. Commit yourself once again to His perfect will and plan for your life.

4. (individual) Write a brief reflection paper on what you have learned about God’s sovereignty. In it include;

a) A brief description of a time you were hurting.

b) How you see God’s hand in it.

c) The outcome.

5. Look to God for an opportunity to share this experience with one going through tough times (Bashor, God’s kitchen, oaklawn, etc) and use it for His glory. (Optional) Read Eternity to Eternity, by Malcolm Webber.
