Introduction
Recap Series…
Now Joseph had been taken to Egypt.
An Egyptian named Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and the captain of the guards, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him there. 2 The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
3 When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made everything he did successful, 4 Joseph found favor with his master and became his personal attendant.
Potiphar also put him in charge of his household and placed all that he owned under his authority.
5 From the time that he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house because of Joseph.
The Lord’s blessing was on all that he owned, in his house and in his fields.
6 He left all that he owned under Joseph’s authority; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.
Now Joseph was well-built and handsome.
7 After some time his master’s wife looked longingly at Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.”
8 But he refused.
“Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he owns under my authority.
9 No one in this house is greater than I am.
He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife.
So how could I do this immense evil, and how could I sin against God?”
Week 1 - Dysfunctional Family, yet out of this family God was using Joseph
10 Although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her.
11 Now one day he went into the house to do his work, and none of the household servants were there.
12 She grabbed him by his garment and said, “Sleep with me!”
But leaving his garment in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
13 When she saw that he had left his garment with her and had run outside, 14 she called her household servants.
“Look,” she said to them, “my husband brought a Hebrew man to make fools of us.
He came to me so he could sleep with me, and I screamed as loud as I could.
15 When he heard me screaming for help, he left his garment beside me and ran outside.”
Week 2 - Betrayed - the betrayal of Joseph by his brothers…
16 She put Joseph’s garment beside her until his master came home.
17 Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought to us came to make a fool of me, 18 but when I screamed for help, he left his garment beside me and ran outside.”
Retell a little of the Joseph story up to this point… give highlights
Jacob had 12 sons by four different women
Joseph was the 2nd youngest, but the first born of the woman that Jacob really loved, Rachel
So Jacob loved Jospeh more than his brothers
He was not afraid to show it, coat of many colors
Joseph’s brothers hated him…
Because he was dad’s favorite
because of his dreams
So they wanted Joseph dead
A plan to kill Joseph
Their hearts already had done the deed
older brothers convinced the group to not kill, just sell
sold to Ishmaelites, who sold him to Potiphar
19 When his master heard the story his wife told him—“These are the things your slave did to me”—he was furious 20 and had him thrown into prison, where the king’s prisoners were confined.
So Joseph was there in prison.
Now Joseph had been taken to Egypt.
An Egyptian named Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and the captain of the guards, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him there. 2 The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.
3 When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made everything he did successful, 4 Joseph found favor with his master and became his personal attendant.
Potiphar also put him in charge of his household and placed all that he owned under his authority.
5 From the time that he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house because of Joseph.
The Lord’s blessing was on all that he owned, in his house and in his fields.
6 He left all that he owned under Joseph’s authority; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.
Now Joseph was well-built and handsome.
7 After some time his master’s wife looked longingly at Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.” 8 But he refused.
“Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he owns under my authority.
9 No one in this house is greater than I am.
He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife.
So how could I do this immense evil, and how could I sin against God?” 10 Although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her.
11 Now one day he went into the house to do his work, and none of the household servants were there.
12 She grabbed him by his garment and said, “Sleep with me!”
But leaving his garment in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
13 When she saw that he had left his garment with her and had run outside, 14 she called her household servants.
“Look,” she said to them, “my husband brought a Hebrew man to make fools of us.
He came to me so he could sleep with me, and I screamed as loud as I could.
15 When he heard me screaming for help, he left his garment beside me and ran outside.”
16 She put Joseph’s garment beside her until his master came home.
17 Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought to us came to make a fool of me, 18 but when I screamed for help, he left his garment beside me and ran outside.”
19 When his master heard the story his wife told him—“These are the things your slave did to me”—he was furious 20 and had him thrown into prison, where the king’s prisoners were confined.
So Joseph was there in prison.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph and extended kindness to him.
He granted him favor with the prison warden.
22 The warden put all the prisoners who were in the prison under Joseph’s authority, and he was responsible for everything that was done there.
23 The warden did not bother with anything under Joseph’s authority, because the Lord was with him, and the Lord made everything that he did successful.
JOSEPH IN PRISON
Pray
21 But the Lord was with Joseph and extended kindness to him.
He granted him favor with the prison warden.
22 The warden put all the prisoners who were in the prison under Joseph’s authority, and he was responsible for everything that was done there.
23 The warden did not bother with anything under Joseph’s authority, because the Lord was with him, and the Lord made everything that he did successful.
Joseph Sold
Sold to Potiphar
Imagine being sold…
you are no longer a person
no longer making your own decisions
you would question everything at that point I would think…
why it happened to you… that is one of our favorite questions.
why God has forgotten about you… if he ever was really there
maybe you misunderstood those dreams
Who is Potiphar
Captain of the Guard
Head Executioner
this would be a nasty dude… not somebody that you would want to cross
a killer like this would have been callused to death
The Lord was with Joseph
His work was blessed
Everything he did was blessed
this is a very important notice…
Joseph was obeying his new master, not because he feared him
Joseph was serving the Lord even in captivity and as such, everything he did was blessed.
Joseph did this not knowing how this story would end
we have the luxury of reading ahead…
Joseph is living this story out without knowing the ending
