SUMMARY
The Bible speaks unequivocally about conflict inevitability in the church. Whenever it occurs, the issues must be clarified, the parties involved must be allowed to air their feelings. Each of them should resolve to do what Jesus would do in the same situation. Also, Biblical view must be sought regarding any conflict.
LESSON 2 10/9/2017
REASONS FOR CONFLICT IN THE CHURCH
Suggested Hymns: G.H.B. 208, 215
Devotional Reading: Jam. 3:14-18
Topic For Adults: Understanding Our Diversity

Lesson Scriptures: Matt. 16:16-19; Jam. 4:1-3; Acts 15:36-40; Prov. 10:12; 2 Cor. 1:9, 12:7-10; Jam. 4:1-3; 1 Cor. 10:31 – 11:1
MEMORY VERSE: Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins (Prov. 10:12) NKJV
SUMMARY
We should realise that conflict originates from us as a result of self pleasure, ‘Hedonism’. If we should live to please others by adapting to the golden rule, most of the conflicts in our midst today would be overcome.
