Divisions (run-on sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture/Principles are Aims for each Division – a truth about God, a truth about man, a truth about God’s relationship to man):

1.Joseph reveals himself to his brothers and makes provision for Jacob to come to Egypt(45)

Principle:  God puts His people in positions to help others.

2.Joseph is reunited with his father after God tells Jacob He will be with him and 70 go to Egypt(46)

Principle:  God knits His people together with Himself and each other.

3.Joseph presents brothers and Jacob to Pharaoh and settles them in Goshen(47:1-12)

Principle:  God brings non-believers into the lives of His people to bless them and make Him known.

 

Subject Sentence (10-word sentence with proper structure showing exactly where you are in Scripture):

Joseph reveals himself, reunites with family, settling them in Goshen.

 

Aim (“To Cause My Audience To…” Know, See, Learn, Understand, etc.):

TCMATK God is all about relationship!

 

Application (not yes or no question.  Meant to bring about heart change):

1.How are you motivated by God’s relational nature to use your gifts and resources to help others and build relationships?

2.In what areas are you challenged to cling more closely to your Christian friends and family?  How will you accomplish this?

3.How are you blessing the non-believers in your sphere of influence?

 

The Big Idea (author’s main purpose in writing; the one thing all the other things in the passage is about; if you couldn’t talk about it, you would still understand the passage is trying to convey this):

God brings people together.
