Press (Part2) : Peer-Pressure
BACKGROUND
We face many pressures in life. Instead of trying to elude them, we need to learn to face them. If we look closely at our lives, we find that the majority of our time is spent under pressure. A defining question for all of us would be; as the light & salt of the world, how do we deal with them daily?
TALK ABOUT IT
1. What are the pressures we often face in life? List a few. Is pressure good or bad?
2. Based on 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, Luke 10:38-42, Matthew 26:6-13 and also the story of Job, discuss what were the pressures that they faced. How can we learn from them?
3. How should we handle or overcome the pressures in our life?
REFLECT ON IT
How can pressure make me stronger in my life, character and in Christ?
LIVE IT
Let’s put our trust and faith in God even in times of pressure. Great is the reward for those who choose to fix their eyes on Jesus and His word.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Be joyful always; pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus
