What sacrifices did any of the characters make to live out God’s story?

How would you have reacted if you were Joseph in the story?
How can you relate to Joesph’s story? Share a time where God was “with you” and led you through a challenging time in your life.
How do you feel when you realize you are a part of the story of Jesus? (scared, overwhelmed, joy, excitement, etc.)?
How have you done living out the story so far?
How does you being a part of the story need to re-shape how you are living? What are your next steps?
