James | Where Does Fighting Come From - Season 5, Episode 120
Eastland Baptist Church

Why do the same arguments keep erupting at the kitchen table, in the car, and at church, no matter how often the circumstances change? Preaching from James 4:1-10, Pastor Dorrell confronts our instinct to blame the people around us and traces conflict to its real source: runaway desires warring within the heart. He shows how selfish wanting turns into frustration, unmet expectations, and prayers asked amiss, setting off a war within ourselves, a war with others, and even a war with God, who resists the proud. Yet God gives more grace to the humble. Listeners are challenged to name the desire being blocked, submit to God, wave the white flag first, and draw near to the One who promises to draw near to them.
