Pastor Louie talks to listeners about God-inspired dreams and visions and the “thief” that comes to steal our dreams. In sharing about the life of Joseph, Pastor Louie points out that it is often through delay, betrayal, false accusation, being overlooked, jealousy, humiliation, exasperation, revenge, success, pain, separation, and comparison that the thief can successfully crush the dream God has for our life. However, it is faithfulness that kills the thief of dreams.
VERSES // Psalm 126, Genesis 37:11, Genesis 17-20, Genesis 41:14, Genesis 39-46, Genesis 50:15-20

At Passion City Church, we believe that because God has displayed the ultimate sacrifice in Jesus, our response to that in worship must be extravagant. It is our privilege, and our created purpose, to reflect God’s Glory to Him through our praise, our sacrifice, and our song.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS //
1. What about Joseph’s story suggests that the realization of the dream God gives us may come in the “distance”?
2. What about Joseph’s dream seemed “dreamy”? What about the reality was not dreamy?
3. What about the story of Joseph suggests that it is never too late to “dream again”?
4. How was Joseph’s dream involving him but not about him?
5. Did Pastor Louie’s talk open your eye to any details you had previously not seen in the story of Joseph? What are those realizations?
6. Which element on the list of weapons that the thief uses caught your attention (Delay, Betrayal, etc.)? Which are being used on you today?
7. If faithfulness is what kills the thief of dreams, how do you gain faithfulness?
8. Do you have a dream for your life - something that seems like a God-inspired, God-glorifying state of existence for your life? In other words, is there something you have always sought to do - or be enabled to do - for the glory of God?
9. What is standing in the way of the dream you have for your life? If you are already living in the dream God has for your life, what were the unexpected things that preceded it?
10.If you feel stuck and you are unsure as to what God might be dreaming and envisioning for your life, allow the group to encourage you with what they see as a possibility for your life. Practically speaking, this looks like telling the people in the group where you see them being most impactful and God-glorifying with their story, gifts, and circumstances.
