Is Anger Destroying Your Peace? How to Finally Let Go Today

Are you struggling to let go of anger when someone deeply offends you? Discover how releasing your desire for revenge can actually unlock your greatest blessings and protect your future. When we are wronged or disrespected, our natural reaction is to justify our anger, hold onto the offense, and seek revenge. However, two of the greatest tactics used against your future are offense and anger. When you are offended, your judgment becomes clouded, and you risk making decisions that can ruin the very future God is preparing for you. In this message, Elliott Warren shares a powerful truth: if you want to see good days and obtain a blessing, you must not repay evil for evil or insult for insult. Using the biblical story of David, Nabal, and Abigail, we learn how to pause in the face of disrespect, humble ourselves, and listen to wise counsel. By refusing to act out of spite, you invite God to handle the situation for you and protect you from the grief of unnecessary consequences. • 00:00:00 - Finding Peace in Difficult Situations • 00:08:20 - Your Season of Breakthrough is Coming • 00:13:57 - How Offense and Anger Distort Your Judgment • 00:22:06 - Why You Shouldn't Repay Evil for Evil • 00:32:00 - The Importance of Listening to Wise Counsel • 00:37:33 - Why Humility is the Key to Your Breakthrough • 00:46:53 - Recognizing When God is Trying to Correct You • 00:54:49 - Closing Prayer for Peace and Humility #overcominganger #letgoofoffense #findingpeace #sermon #ElliottWarren #faith #dealingwithdifficultpeople #Jesus #christianity #spiritualgrowth #humility #wisdom #christianliving #crossculturechurch #personalgrowth If this message helped you find peace today, please subscribe to our channel and share this video with someone who might need encouragement.

How to Stay Strong When Your Life Feels Completely Out of Control

Are you feeling trapped in a difficult situation, a hard marriage, or a season that feels entirely hopeless? Discover how to draw near to God and find the divine wisdom you need to overcome your hardest battles.

In this powerful message, Elliott Warren dives into the life of Abigail from First Samuel 25. Abigail was a discerning and wise woman trapped in a miserable marriage to a harsh, badly behaved man named Nabal. Yet, instead of becoming bitter because of her marriage, she drew near to God. Her story reveals that God can take the very circumstances causing you pain and use them to forge deep character and incredible wisdom in your life. 

If you've ever asked, "How did I get here?" or wondered if God can still use you, this sermon offers profound hope. Learn why it's crucial to seek God for insight instead of yielding to anger, which can cause you to make decisions you will regret. Be encouraged that God has not forgotten you, and He knows how to pull you out of obscurity to be a leader who changes the narrative of your family's future.

What Actually Happens When We Die? The Truth Revealed

Wondering what actually happens at the end of the world and if the rapture is real? Discover the surprising truth about life after death and what the future holds for our planet.

Many of us have been taught that the end of times means believers will suddenly disappear into heaven while the earth is left in total chaos. But what if the popular "Left Behind" narrative isn't the whole story? In this message, Elliott Warren explores ancient scriptures to uncover a completely different picture of the future.

You'll learn that our loved ones in Christ aren't just waiting in the clouds forever; they are coming back to a new earth with resurrected bodies. Find out why the meek will inherit the earth and how understanding this completely changes how we view life, death, grief, and our ultimate purpose.

The Urgent End Times Warning That Most People Will Completely Ignore

Are you truly prepared for what the future holds, or are you just going through the motions? Discover how to find real security, prepare your heart, and ensure you aren't caught off guard when everything changes. In this eye-opening message, Elliott Warren tackles the often-avoided realities of the end times, the Second Coming, and the biblical "Day of the Lord." Using powerful examples like the days of Noah and the Parable of the Ten Virgins, he explains why simply relying on past spiritual experiences isn't enough to secure your future. We often let the busyness and worries of everyday life distract us from what truly matters, leaving us spiritually drained and unprepared. This isn't a message meant to cause panic, but rather an urgent wake-up call filled with hope. Learn how God's grace offers a clear path to true peace, how to stop suppressing your conscience, and why genuine repentance is the key to living a life that is fully awake and ready for whatever comes next.

Feeling overwhelmed by the darkness in the world or in your own life? Discover how to recognize the enemy's hidden schemes and activate God's ultimate power to break through the spiritual warfare you're facing. It's easy to look around and feel like the darkness is winning, but there is a spiritual reality happening behind the scenes. In this powerful message, Elliott Warren breaks down the reality of spiritual warfare and how the enemy uses fear, doubt, and hidden schemes to keep us defeated. By looking at the days leading up to the crucifixion and the reality of the "evil day" mentioned in Ephesians 6, we discover that the darkness we feel is often a setup for God's greatest breakthroughs. You don't have to live as a victim to the culture or your circumstances. Learn how to stand strong in truth, why consistent prayer is your greatest defense mechanism, and how the resurrection of Jesus wasn't just a historical event—it was an earth-shattering shift in power that is available to you right now. 00:00:00 - The True Power of the Resurrection 00:05:50 - Having the Courage to Stand for Truth in a Dark World 00:10:20 - Ephesians 6: How to Recognize the Enemy's Hidden Schemes 00:18:00 - How Spiritual Forces Operate Behind the Scenes 00:29:00 - Overcoming the Heaviness of the "Evil Day" 00:36:00 - Why Prayer is Your Ultimate Defense Mechanism 00:41:00 - The Prophetic Sign of Jonah and the 3 Days in the Grave 00:54:00 - Activating an "Earthquake" of God's Power in Your Life #spiritualwarfare #overcomingdarkness #resurrectionpower #faithoverfear #christianmotivation #spiritualgrowth #hopeindarkness #ephesians6 #prayerworks #christianliving #biblestudy #Jesus #sermon #churchonline If this message encouraged you today, please hit the LIKE button and SUBSCRIBE to our channel for more biblical truths.

Almost Saved - The Tragedy of Judas Iscariot

Are you going through the motions but still feeling stuck in life? Discover why simply being around good things isn't enough to change your heart, and how you can finally break free from hidden resentment. In this powerful message, Elliott Warren explores the hidden dangers of holding onto secret sins and bitterness. Looking closely at the story of Judas, we see how easy it is to disguise our true motives and personal agendas behind righteous-sounding arguments. Judas walked alongside Jesus for three years and witnessed incredible miracles, yet his heart never truly changed. He remained a petty thief who allowed bitterness to completely cloud his judgment. This sermon challenges us to take a deeply honest look at our own lives. Are we just polishing our outward religious appearance while harboring hidden resentment or unyielded habits? True transformation requires more than just feeling remorse when things go wrong; it demands genuine repentance and fully surrendering our old ways to God. Watch to learn how to identify the subtle, contagious traps of bitterness and step into genuine spiritual freedom. 00:00 - The Power of Praise and Faith 04:08 - The Woman with the Alabaster Flask 08:29 - When Good Deeds Offend Bitter Hearts 11:29 - The Danger of Being a "Petty" Sinner 18:07 - Why Going to Church Doesn't Guarantee Change 24:00 - Warning Signs from the Wilderness Generation 34:00 - How Bitterness Masquerades as Righteousness 48:25 - The Difference Between Remorse and True Repentance 57:00 - A Prayer for Genuine Heart Surrender #OvercomingBitterness #TrueRepentance #HiddenHabits #HeartChange #FaithJourney #Sermon #ChristianLiving #SpiritualGrowth #FindingPeace #ElliottWarren #crossculturechurch If this message helped you, please subscribe to our channel and share this video with someone who needs encouragement today!

In this powerful message, Elliott Warren explores the life-altering story of Jacob and Esau to answer a critical question: What are you willing to give up for a "single meal"?. While many focus on building wealth or satisfying immediate desires, this sermon reveals the hidden spiritual costs of living for "the flesh" over "the spirit".

Does God Choose Who Is Saved? Understanding Predestination

Does God have a specific plan for your life, and does your choice actually matter? Explore the challenging biblical tension between God’s sovereign election and our responsibility to believe. In this insightful sermon, Elliott Warren dives into Genesis and Romans to unpack the story of Jacob and Esau. Many people struggle with the idea of "predestination," fearing it means their choices don't count. However, the Bible reveals that while God speaks His purposes into the earth, He also places the obligation of faith squarely on us.
