Text: Genesis 3:8-24, 1 Corinthians 15:22

Lesson 3 – Abraham

Text: Genesis 15:6  – Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.

Lesson 4 – Joseph, The Dreamer

Text: Genesis 37:19 – Joseph’s brothers referred to Joseph as a dreamer.

Text: Genesis 37:18-35, John 10:10 – The thief comes to steal your dream. As a result hat and resentment can fester.  You can refused to be comforted. Joseph did NOT respond like this.

Text: Genesis 45:5 Joseph was sent to Egypt to preserve life, this was his mission.

Lesson 5 – Moses

Text: Exodus 3:10 – God gives Moses his mission to bring the people of God out of Egypt. 

Text: Exodus 4:1-9,12 – God gives Moses supernatural ability to perform his mission.

Lesson 6 – David

Text: 1 Samuel 16:1-3, 6-13 Man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart.

Text: 2 Samuel 13 one of David’s biggest failures was his family.  Remember your family is your first ministry (after relationship with God).

Text: 1 Samuel 13:14 David was a man after God’s own heart.  David trusted in the Lord. David was a worshipper, he esteemed and honor leadership, he  kept his word, David was loyal.


Lesson 7 – Peter

Text: Matt 14:22-33, 17:1-8, 19:27-29, John 13:3-9, 18:1-11 Peter was impulsive, outspoken and bold.  So don’t worry.  God can use all personality types.
