"The Proof is in the Pudding" - Genesis 44:1-45:15 (March 6, 2016)

1. Have someone read the passage aloud.
2. Why did Joseph test his brothers? Describe the similarities between this situation and the one they brothers found them in when they sold Joseph.
3. What were the ways that the brothers showed their true colors?
4. Knowing Judah's history, why is it surprising that he acts the way he does?
5. How does Joseph show his trust in God? How does he hold the brothers responsible but still trust God's work?
6. Where is a place in your life that you need to trust the Lord? Do you find yourself emphasizing man's responsibility over God's sovereign will? How can you grow in holding the two in tension?
