Small Group Discussion QuestionS
Genesis 39
Undressed but uncompromised

1. God With Us in Every Place
Genesis 39 repeats the phrase, “The LORD was with Joseph.” Where in your own life do you need to remember that truth most right now: in success, in struggle, or in temptation? (Compare Matthew 28:20, “I am with you always.”)

2. Success and Humility
Joseph worked hard and used his gifts, yet the text emphasizes that “the LORD caused all that he did to succeed” (Gen. 39:3). How do you normally think about your own successes; work, family, finances, reputation? How can we cultivate gratitude and humility instead of pride? (See Deuteronomy 8:17–18.)

3. Temptation in Daily Life
Potiphar’s wife came at Joseph day after day (Gen. 39:10). What are some temptations you face that feel “daily”? How can we prepare ourselves to resist them before the pressure is on? (See 1 Corinthians 10:13.)

4. Not Listening to Temptation
Joseph “would not listen to her.” What does “not listening” look like for us in modern life; in our homes, workplaces, schools, or online habits?

5. Fleeing, Not Negotiating
When grabbed, Joseph fled (Gen. 39:12; cf. 1 Corinthians 6:18). What’s the difference between fleeing temptation and simply trying to manage it? What might it look like for you to “flee” in real, practical terms?

6. Integrity and Injustice
Joseph did everything right, yet still ended up in prison (Gen. 39:19–20). Have you ever faced consequences for doing the right thing? How does knowing “the LORD was with him” give us courage in those situations? (See 2 Timothy 3:12.)

7. Pointing to Jesus
The sermon closed with Jesus as Immanuel, God with us (Matt. 1:23). How does His presence with us change the way we approach temptation, success, and hardship today?
