    About this ebook

    The Discover 4 Yourself Bible Studies series for kids ages 9-12, combines a serious commitment to Bible study with fun and memorable games, puzzles, and activities to reinforce biblical truth. Each study is divided into daily lessons built around an in-depth, inductive study of a book or character of the Bible. Any young person who works through these studies will emerge with a richer appreciation of the Word of God and a deeper understanding of God's love and care for them.

    Joseph—God's Superhero teaches children an extraordinary truth: God chooses ordinary people to become his super heroes. In the first of three characters studies in the Discover 4 Yourself series, kids will watch Joseph as he grows through some pretty amazing struggles. What would it be like to be sold as a slave and shipped off to another country by your own brothers? Later, when Joseph, meets up with his betraying brothers, will he take revenge? When he’s thrown into prison for something he didn’t do, how will he handle the unfairness? When he’s second only to Pharaoh as the ruler of Egypt, will success go to his head?

    Joseph had to deal with a life of ups and down, and God taught him how to handle them all. Now it’s our turn to learn!

      For my sons, Chase and Brent:

      I am so blessed to see so much of Joseph in you—your integrity, your love, compassion, and forgiveness. May your knees always be bowed and your hearts surrendered to God. May you always have courage to do the right thing, enduring hardships with grace, knowing that a loving God holds you in His hands and will use all things for your good. May you give God all the glory. May you always be superheroes of the faith!

      I love you with all my heart.

      SEARCHING FOR TRUTH—

      A BIBLE STUDY YOU CAN DO!

      Hey! Look up here! Can you see us? Molly and I are in the tree house with Sam (the great detective beagle) planning our next adventure in God’s Word. By the way, my name is Max. Guess where we’re headed? New York City! My Aunt Sherry is developing a new comic book for Amazing Comics on the life of Joseph called Joseph— God’s Superhero. Doesn’t that sound exciting?

      A hero is someone who is known for his acts of courage, who risks or sacrifices his life for other people. A comic-book superhero is someone like Superman, who can do the extraordinary like being faster than a speeding bullet and having X-ray vision.

      WHAT makes Joseph God’s superhero? Can he run faster than a speeding bullet like Superman? No! Unlike Superman, who is a fictional character with super powers, Joseph is a real person in the Bible who was just an ordinary guy like you and me.

      So WHAT makes Joseph special? Does he do anything extraordinary? Is he courageous? WHAT is Joseph really like? You can find out by studying God’s Word, the Bible, the source of all truth, and by asking God’s Spirit to lead and guide you. You also have this book, which is an inductive Bible study. That word inductive means this study will help you investigate the life of Joseph in the Book of Genesis to discover for yourself what the Bible means, instead of depending on what someone else says it means.

      So are you ready to head to New York City to learn how to make a comic book while you discover WHAT makes Joseph God’s superhero? Great—then pack those bags! We’ll see you at Amazing Comics!

      GENESIS 37

      How do you like New York City? Isn’t it incredible? Everything is so big! Aunt Sherry is going to give us a tour of Amazing Comics, and then we can get to work discovering what God’s Word has to say about a man named Joseph who lived almost 4000 years ago and yet is known today as a superhero.

      DISCOVERING OUR SUPERHERO

      Are you ready for your first assignment? asked Aunt Sherry as we sat around her desk and pulled out our notebooks. WHAT should we do first before we begin our research on Joseph?

      Max smiled as he replied, Pray!

      That’s right, Max. Bible study should always begin with prayer. We need God to direct us and teach us by His Spirit so that we can understand what He says in His Word. We need God to be our Master Editor to make sure we handle His Word accurately. So let’s pray, and then you can begin your first assignment at Amazing Comics.

      Your first assignment will be learning how to be a writer for a comic book by helping Aunt Sherry. Aunt Sherry is a writer. Not only does she think up story ideas to present to the editor, but she also has to think of story ideas that can be illustrated in an interesting way.

      As Aunt Sherry writes and plans her story, she has to be able to think in pictures and use words to enhance those pictures. She tells the story by writing a script that looks a lot like a movie script. The script will tell how each page in the comic book should look, and it will also break down the pages into individual panels. Aunt Sherry also writes all the dialogue for the characters. When she is finished, the editor will read the script to check for any mistakes and make any needed changes.

      So let’s get started by helping Aunt Sherry develop our main character. Turn to the Observation Worksheets on page 119. Observation Worksheets are pages that have the Bible text printed out for you to use as you do your research on the life of Joseph.

      Now read Genesis 37:1-4 and mark every reference to Joseph in a special way by coloring Joseph blue, along with any pronouns that also refer to Joseph. WHAT are pronouns? Check out Max and Molly’s research notes below.

      PRONOUNS

      Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns. A noun is a person, place, or thing. A pronoun stands in for a noun! Here’s an example: Molly and Max are learning how to develop the characters in a comic book. They have to do lots of research. The word they is a pronoun because in the second sentence it takes the place of Molly’s and Max’s names. It is another word we use to refer to Molly and Max.

      Watch for these other pronouns when you are marking people:

      Now that you have marked Joseph, another thing writers do as they plan their script and research their characters is ask lots of questions. Asking questions helps them decide how to portray the characters in their story. Let’s see WHAT we can learn about Joseph by asking the 5 W’s and an H questions. What are the 5 W’s and an H? They are the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, and HOW questions.

      1. Asking WHO helps you find out:

      WHO wrote this? To WHOM was it written?

      WHOM are we reading about? WHO said this or did that?

      2. WHAT helps you understand:

      WHAT is the author talking about?

      WHAT are the main things that happen?

      3. WHERE helps you learn:

      WHERE did something happen?

      WHERE did they go?

      WHERE was this said?

      When we discover a where we double-underline the "where

      " in green.

      WHEN tells us:

      WHEN did this event happen or WHEN will it happen?

      WHEN did the main characters do something? It helps us to follow the order of events, which is so important to a writer.

      5. WHY asks questions like:

      WHY did he say that? WHY did this happen?

      WHY did they go there?

      6. HOW lets you figure out things like:

      HOW is something to be done?

      HOW did people know something had happened?

      Let’s do our research on Joseph by asking the 5 W’s and an H. WHAT do these four verses in Genesis 37 on page 119 tell us about Joseph?

      Genesis 37:1-2 WHO is Joseph’s father?

      __________________________________________________

      Genesis 37:1-2 WHERE is Joseph?
