Sunday School September 29, 2013 The Pressure of Conflict 5th lesson on the topic: Pressure Points Our Scripture text today: James 4: 1-10 The Point of the lesson: Overcome the pressure of conflict by humbly submitting to Christ Most of us do not like conflict. We often see conflict as originating from the pressure of others for us to conform to their plans or opinions. But often that pressure comes from our plans. We create the conflict because we don’t want to follow any plan but our own. This internal conflict often leads to conflict with others. While we are not necessarily called to resolve the conflict simply by giving in to the other person’s desires, we are called to humble ourselves under God’s desires. Even the early church experienced dissension within the body. James identified the source of their conflicts and pointed to the need for humility before God. Humble submission to Christ is His call to us in all things. So when the pressure of conflict wants us to get our way, let’s count on His strength, and do what Jesus says. Overcome the pressure of conflict “by humbly submitting to Christ.”
