Make Me Stronger
Teachers
Lesson Summary
In the “Make Me Stronger – Growing Through Conflict” session, the teacher welcomed the young adult and young family class and opened with a prayer asking God to shape their attitudes toward conflict. He asked participants to share what words came to mind when they thought of conflict resolution, noting common ideas like peace, compromise, and mediation, and then broadened the discussion to include conflicts at work, within families, and internal struggles. The teacher highlighted that Christians are called to be peacemakers, referencing Matthew 5:9, and explained that the quarter’s focus would be on developing attitudes such as humility, patience, and a willingness to engage honestly. He shared personal family stories about how conflict was handled in his home, illustrating both immediate confrontation and later reflective discussions. He introduced an upcoming eight‑week series on King David’s life, showing how David’s encounters with King Saul and other adversaries would serve as practical biblical case studies for applying these foundational attitudes. Overall, the class set the stage for a comprehensive study of conflict through biblical principles, preparing participants to address disputes in marriage, work, church, and personal life with a Christ‑centered mindset.
