Bottom Line: Yesterday’s regrets affect today.
Scripture References: Genesis 37:32-33; 42:21

Our past can make us laugh and it can make us cry. Almost nothing has the power to disrupt our present like past regret. As we begin this series on regret, we want students to begin to think about regret in a conceptual way. What is it? How does it affect our lives? How do we tend to respond to it?


You may want to also challenge your students to read the story of Joseph. Many of them may have never read the story for themselves and it’s a great story for students who may be timid with Bible reading. Joseph’s entire story can be found in Genesis 37-50.
