Cross Culture Global with Elliott Warren

Why Your Willpower Fails & How to Finally Trust God

Are you exhausted from trying to make things happen in your own strength? Discover why your self-confidence might be the very thing holding you back from God's best and how to find true power in surrender. In this transformative message, Elliott Warren dives deep into the subtle danger of self-reliance. Using the biblical examples of Peter’s denial and King Uzziah’s rise and fall, he explains why our natural talents, willpower, and resources often become stumbling blocks to our faith. If you feel like you keep hitting a wall despite your best efforts, this sermon is for you. Learn practical steps to move from "striving" in the flesh to truly "trusting" in the Spirit. Discover how to pause, seek God’s will, and let go of control so that God can build something in your life that man never could. 00:00 - Prophetic Dream: God is Destroying What Man Built 08:03 - The "Woe is Me" Moment: Why We Need Brokenness 15:20 - Peter’s Denial: The Failure of Human Willpower 29:07 - The Trap of Self-Confidence (It's Not What You Think) 37:49 - The Warning of King Uzziah: When Strength Leads to Pride 48:23 - Stop Planning Without God: The Lesson of James 4 54:30 - 3 Practical Steps to Move from Striving to Trusting 01:00:42 - Closing Prayer for Surrender If this message ministered to you, please SUBSCRIBE to our channel and share this video with someone who needs encouragement today. #trustingGod #faithoverfear #sermon #Christianmotivation #surrender #brokenness #Jesus #BibleStudy #ElliottWarren #CrossCultureChurch #spiritualgrowth #overcomingpride #Godsplan Welcome to the official channel of Cross Culture Global, the digital-first media ministry of Cross Culture Church, led by Pastor Elliott Warren.

When God Is Silent: How to Trust Him With Your Unanswered Prayers

Have you been serving God faithfully but still feel like your prayers are hitting a ceiling? In this powerful message, Elliott Warren dives into the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth to reveal what God is actually doing in your season of waiting. It is easy to trust God when the blessings are flowing, but what happens when you do everything "right"—living blamelessly and praying consistently—and yet your deepest desire remains unfulfilled? Many of us, like Zechariah, interpret God's silence as a denial. But silence does not mean absence. In this sermon, Pastor Elliott explores the "Altar of Incense" and the moment God broke 400 years of silence to answer a prayer Zechariah had likely stopped praying. You will learn how to handle seasons of disappointment, why your private faithfulness matters more than your public success, and how to prepare your spirit for a "sudden" encounter with God's favor. If you are ready to move from sorrow to hope, this message is for you.

How to Activate the Promises of Sowing and Reaping

How to Activate the Promises of Sowing and Reaping | Biblical Principles for Blessing

Are you feeling stuck in a cycle of lack or waiting for a breakthrough? In this message, we dive deep into the spiritual law of sowing and reaping and how to align your life with God’s kingdom economics. Discover how to move beyond natural reasoning and step into a life of faith-based giving and radical obedience.

Whether you are sowing in a season of "tears" or looking to increase your harvest of righteousness, this teaching provides the spiritual instruction needed to activate God’s promises. Learn why putting the Kingdom first is the ultimate strategy for risk mitigation in life’s disasters and how to ensure you reap in due season.

In this video, you will learn: How to identify the "seed" in your hand. The difference between sowing to the flesh and sowing to the Spirit. How biblical generosity breaks the cycle of debt and lack. Why your harvest depends on the "measure" you use.
