Come Follow Me for Teens: The Lord Was With Joseph (Genesis 37–41)
“The Lord Was with Joseph”
“The Lord Was with Joseph”
In this episode of Come Follow Me for Teens, we study Genesis 37–41 and explore the powerful story of Joseph—a young man who faced betrayal, injustice, and hardship but never abandoned his faith.
Sold into slavery by his brothers, falsely accused, and imprisoned for doing what was right, Joseph’s life often seemed unfair. Yet through every trial, the scriptures remind us that “the Lord was with Joseph.” This episode helps teens understand how God can still be present during life’s hardest moments and how faith, integrity, and humility allow the Lord to work through us even when we cannot see the outcome.
This study and teaching guide is designed to help parents and leaders walk teens through Genesis 37–41, exploring the powerful story of Joseph and the life-changing truth that the Lord is with His children—even in the most difficult moments.
Through Joseph’s experiences of betrayal, slavery, false accusation, and imprisonment, teens will see how faith, integrity, and trust in God can carry them through trials they may not understand. Joseph’s story teaches that doing what is right does not always make life easier, but it invites the Lord’s presence, guidance, and power into our lives.
The guide helps teens move beyond surface understanding by encouraging thoughtful discussion about:
Why difficult experiences are part of mortality
How God can still be present during betrayal, hardship, and injustice
Why it is wiser to avoid temptation than to try to resist it later
How humility and meekness allow God to work through us
Designed for meaningful conversation rather than lecture, this resource supports parents and leaders as they guide teens in applying Joseph’s example of faith, purity, and humility to the challenges they face today.
Ideal for:
Home study, Sunday lessons, youth discussions, and small groups.
Everything parents and youth leaders need to teach "Come Follow Me" to teens - Without hours of prep.
