You + Your Siblings, Round 2

Peace in your family start with forgiveness.

  • Do you have a special connection with one or more of your siblings? Describe it!

  • On Sunday, Walter said, “Those who know you best also know how to best hurt you.” Have you found that to be true?

Read: Genesis 37:1-4

  • What do you think of the situation between Joseph and his brothers? In your opinion, who was right and who was wrong?

Read: Genesis 37:5-8

  • If you were one of Joseph’s brothers, how would you have reacted to these dreams?

Read: Genesis 37:18-20

  • If you are willing, share a time when frustration in your family boiled over into active conflict.

Read: Matthew 5:22 and I John 3:15

  • What’s your response to these two verses?

  • Walter shared that forgiveness is a choice to give up anger and retaliation, that it doesn’t depend on emotion, and that it only requires one person. Does that sound reasonable to you?

Prayer: Pray for the members of your group to freely give and receive forgiveness.
