Cravings and Conflict (James 4:1-2)
James explains that the root problem in our conflicts is worse than we think: it is our own sin, specifically our sinful cravings that make idols out of our desires and then fight for them. Fortunately, the answer is also easier than we think -- the forgiveness and reconciliation that we receive through the cross in humbling ourselves to confess and repent. NOTE: This is a recording of the same sermon delivered at another time and place. There were technical issues recording the sermon at Sovereign Grace Church.

Recipe #4: You Can Both Win-EVERYTIME!
Recipe #4: Winning Fights: You Both Can Win—Every Time! “First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.†Matthew 7:5 5 PATHS TO LOG REMOVAL 1. Call a Time Out. **“My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.†James 1:19-20 **“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." James 4:6 2. Cry out to God. **“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.†James 1:5 **“Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.†1 Thessalonians 5:18 3. Commit to Forgiving Your Mate. **“Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of malicious behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.†Ephesians 4:31-32 4. Choose a different Reaction. **James 1:21-25 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does. 5. Create Judgment Free Zones. **James 4:11-12 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor? TO YOUR MATE: I PROMISE to find God’s best in every trial. I give you the security of knowing that the negative things that happen in our marriage will not destroy my love for you. I will not expect perfection from you, but will use even the irritations between us as opportunities to see my blind spots and foster my personal growth. I will call on the power of Christ to root out my weaknesses. (Romans 8:28, James 1:12, Romans 5:3-5)
