Sheet 02 The process

Life’s setbacks aren’t meant to stop you. They’re shaping you.

God Built reveals how trials, betrayals, and waiting seasons are the very tools God uses to prepare you for greater purpose.

Sheet 03 The build

His brethren sold him, but God sent him.

Three parts. The teaching notes follow Joseph through betrayal, the pit, prison and the wait for God’s timing, then turn to James on the attitude that carries you through a trial.

Part I

The Journey of Endurance

Before he would wear the gold chain of prominence, he first had to wear fetters of iron in a prison.

Psalm 105:17–22 (KJV) · The story of Joseph · Discussion questions for teenagers

Part II

Character That Runs Deep

In every setback, we have a choice: to drink from the well of salvation or the well of bitterness.

Genesis 37:3–4 · Genesis 37:18–20 · Genesis 49:22 · Proverbs 11:3 · Exodus 15:25–27

Part III

Attitude Determines Altitude

Our attitude profoundly affects our altitude in life.

James 1:2–5 · Jeremiah 29:11 · Ephesians 2:10 · Philippians 4:13 · Romans 8:28
