Joseph of Egypt from the Old Testament is our subject for this week. Help kids learn the stories of the Bible! Podcast for primary aged children of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Even though Joseph had many difficult trials, he remained faithful and “the Lord was with him” (Genesis 39:3). His experiences can help the children feel confident that God will help them during trials. I can be happy when good things happen to others. Jealousy led Joseph’s brothers to make terrible choices. Their wrong choices hurt Joseph and broke their father’s heart. This story can help the children choose to be happy when others are blessed by the Lord. With the Lord’s help, I can flee temptation. As the children you teach face temptations throughout their lives, they can gain strength from Joseph’s example of fleeing temptation. God can warn me of danger. God helped Joseph understand that Pharaoh’s dreams were a warning to prepare for hard times coming in the future. God can warn us of danger, including spiritual danger.
