TNG 9-14-2025 Lessons from the Life of Joseph - Part 5 by The Naples Gathering
1. In his sermon, analyzing and reflecting on the beginning of Joseph's life, Tim pointed out that - in Joseph's life, as in our own, “there are no blameless parties.” He shared a slide that read, “We are all part of the brokenness…We blame each each other to avoid facing reality that we're all responsible for the mess. Because it's hard to trust that God we can't see is with us, keeping our world. Sometimes we're totally blind to it.”Take a moment to absorb these words. Consider re-reading them several times.What does “We are all part of the brokenness” mean to you? Where do you most see this reflected in your life and in the world?In which contexts are you most tempted to blame others rather than avoid facing responsibility for your part in a mess?How often do you consider your own responsibility in brokenness you encounter? What is it like for you to explore the question of your part in different types of situations? Where does it feel easier or more natural? Where does it feel most difficult or unhelpful?What connections do your see to the patterns you've just described and the ideas Tim shared about blame? How difficult is it for you to face the idea you have some responsibility in much of the messiness of your life? How do you respond to that? What do you think is meant by that idea? Where is most applicable? Least?How trust in God factor in? Tim said that we blame each other because it's hard to trust that God is with us, keeping our world. To what extent does that feel true to you? How aware are you of difficulty you may have trusting in God's presence during your messy experiences of life's brokenness?2. Tim talked about the ways in which we will all spend big chunks of our lives perpetuating darkness w/o even knowing it. He tied this reality to the Christian tradition of nonviolence. Of this he said, “…because what if we kill the wrong people?” He then on to say, “Besides, it might be us next time.”Can you identify times in your life when you have perpetuated darkness without even knowing it? What has that looked like in the past? How do you feel about those times now? What has been significant for you in moving through and processing those parts of your story?What's it like to consider possible situations in the present or the future in which you might again play a similar role in perpetuating darkness?Reflect on these ideas related to violence. What do you think about the idea that we sometimes blame and kill the wrong person? Is it possible to get your head around the idea, next time, it could be you that's unfairly blamed? And acted against violently?If you noticed particular similarities or differences in the way different people in your group responded to this question, what do you think there is to learn from what you observed? What could it teach you?3. As he wrapped his sermon, Tim said that the story of Joseph dares us to believe that God will weave even the most broken parts of our lives - even the biggest messes and the deepest pain- into a story of redemption.What's your initial reaction to this suggestion? Does it feel difficult or easy to believe? Is it easier to believe in some circumstances than it is in others? Is it easier to believe for other people or for yourself?Have there been times in the past when you've seen this to be true? Have you been looking? How has it impacted you to see stories of redemption woven into your life and/or the lives of people around you? What has it taught you about places in your life today where you might have a harder time believing in a coming story of redemption?

Joseph's story in Genesis 37 shows that even in chaos—family conflict, betrayal, and detours—God was at work. Through brokenness, dreams, and setbacks, He was guiding Joseph toward His greater plan.

This episode brings us to the end of the Joseph story, where we are reminded that it all was part of God's perfect plan. The same can be said of your life. It is perfectly planned by your Heavenly Father.
We are back in Genesis this week, specifically back with Joseph, and Jacob, and the brothers, and Pastor Jon Bilitz.
We continue the inspiring story of Joseph, who was sold into slavery by his brothers and purchased by the Egyptian official Potiphar. Despite adversity, Joseph remained faithful to God and rose to become Chief Steward in Potiphar's house. However, his fortunes took a turn when he was falsely accused by Potiphar's wife and imprisoned. Refusing to be defined by his circumstances, Joseph kept his faith and earned the trust of the prison warden. With God's guidance, he interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh's butler and baker. These interpretations opened the way for a greater purpose when Pharaoh himself had troubling dreams. God orchestrated events that elevated Joseph to prominence, ultimately positioning him to save an entire nation. Join us for Part 2 of Joseph's powerful and inspiring journey in Egypt.
After two long years in prison, Joseph's life changed in a single day. From a forgotten slave, he rose to become the most powerful man in Egypt, second only to Pharaoh himself. God used Joseph to interpret Pharaoh's troubling dreams, foretelling seven years of abundance followed by seven years of severe famine. Tasked with saving Egypt from disaster, Joseph embraced the challenge with divine wisdom. As Grand Vizier, he navigated the complexities of Egyptian politics and the intrigues of one of the most advanced royal courts of the ancient world. When the famine struck, Joseph opened the royal storehouses, selling grain not only to Egyptians but to neighbouring nations as well. Among those who came seeking food were Joseph's ten brothers. Though they failed to recognise him, they bowed before him, fulfilling the very dreams he had shared over two decades earlier. In that moment, Joseph saw, once more, the hand of God guiding every step of his journey. Join us as we explore Joseph's extraordinary influence in Egypt, his emotional reunion with his family, and the unwavering faith that carried him through betrayal, prison, power, and reconciliation.
Joseph belonged to a big, messy family of 13 siblings, four wives and one father. Joseph had a pre-eminence position as the oldest son of his father's most beloved wife. His father, Jacob, doted on him and lavished him with love. Jacob's unwise favouritism towards Joseph stirred up his older brothers' jealousy. While visiting them while they were away from home, grazing the family's extensive flocks and herds, Joseph's brothers sold him as a slave. It was a turning point in both Joseph's life and the life of his entire family. His grief-stricken father refused to be comforted, his guilt-ridden brothers couldn't escape the shame of what they had done, and Joseph himself faced the horror of a life of slavery in Egypt. Instead of choosing to despair, Joseph chose to surrender his life fully to the God of his father and therein lay the secret of his remarkably successful life. Join us as we take a look at the remarkable story of Joseph's journey into a life of slavery in Egypt.

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “Bernard and Joseph, Part 2,” in which we hear the exciting conclusion to the Joseph story. Dreams interpreted and fulfilled, hearts broken and changed, vengeance offered and refused. Typical Bible stuff! Also, sibling antics, and lessons to learn from Potiphar's wife (primarily, don't be like her). Be careful out there, everyone. It's a cow-eat-cow world.
Oh brother(s)! In this podventure, we discuss the episode “Bernard and Joseph, Part 1,” in which Bernard sits Arty down to tell him the first half of the Joseph story from Genesis. Arty, having never heard it before, is a fount of colorful commentary. It's a fun dramatization with fleshed out characters and great dialogue. Also, our own dream interpretations, a call to elevate the Potiphar numbers, and a natural skit that evolves naturally and naturally fits right in with the Joseph theme. Naturally.
