To engage the learners in a study of the Scripture text:
Download the “Tale of Two Captives” worksheet here. It is a Bible research assignment that will help them compare the situations of Daniel and Joseph, son of Jacob.
Divide the class into groups of 3–5 students each, giving each group a copy of the worksheet and a pen. Make sure they have Bibles available. Allow them about ten minutes to complete the work before pulling the whole class together to discuss the activity.
To encourage personal application:
Divide the class into small groups and write the following questions on the board:
How might one be asked to compromise their moral values at work?
What course of action could be proposed and/or taken?
How can one be assured that God would be with them despite this difficulty?
Say, “Like Daniel, believers today may be asked to compromise their moral values at work. Use the questions on the board to propose an approach to such a situation.”
Allow groups about five minutes to work on a plan before having them report.
