Genesis 47:6, 12, 27

Addiction affects one in every five people worldwide. Many of us walk alongside a loved one who struggles with addiction. How best can we help them? How do we look after ourselves along the way? Over the next five days, we’ll reflect on this journey. To help us, we’ll explore the journey of God’s people through the wilderness – from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the promised land.

In this 11-day plan, you will study Genesis 37-50 which will take you through the life of Jacob and his 12 sons who later became the 12 tribes of Israel. These chapters highlight the life of one of those sons, Joseph, and his journey of hardship and forgiveness. We hope you’ll learn the importance of trusting God through difficult times and learning to forgive those who hurt or disappoint you.

You may not think you’re capable of doing bold and brave things, but the women of Exodus 2 show us that everyday women can choose to follow God in extraordinary ways. Dive into the stories of Shiphrah, Puah, Miriam, and Jochebed and be encouraged by their resolve to enter into unthinkably hard spaces to protect baby Moses. Little did they know, their protection of this child saved an entire nation.

Waiting. We all experience seasons of life when we are waiting on something - a spouse, a baby, healing, a job, or for what God has next in your life. We'll study the life of Joseph, a man who was betrayed by his brothers, falsely imprisoned and ultimately saved the nation of Israel during a famine. Learn from Joseph how to trust God while you wait on Him!
