Lesson Summary
During the April 26th Young Adults session, John McCarthy led the group through the fourth lesson of a Joseph study based on Max Cicato’s "You’ll Get Through This" guide. He introduced a framework for enduring hardship—acknowledging that trials are neither painless nor swift, yet God can use the chaos for good—and warned against the habit of worsening difficult situations. After sharing humorous and news‑worthy examples of poor decision‑making, he shifted focus to Genesis 39, reviewing verses 6‑7 that describe Joseph’s attractiveness and Potiphar’s wife’s lust, and verses 8‑10 where Joseph firmly resists her advances, declaring his loyalty to his master and to God.
Key Scriptures
He left all that he had in Joseph's charge. And because of him, he had no concern about anything but the food he ate. Now, Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. And after a time, his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, 'Lie with me.'
His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord caused all that he did to succeed in his hands.
