The Source The Scandal Solution to Conflicts

Big Idea Unresolved conflict tears down a community; following God’s word sustains and flourishes it

Source of Conflicts — James 4:1-3 What causes fights and quarrels among you? (James 4:1a)

Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? (James 4:1)

You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. (James 4:2)

You do not have because you do not ask God. (cont’d James 4:2)

When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. (James 4:3)

Source of Conflicts We want our own way
