Stop Trying to Make It Happen: How to Let Go and Trust God

Are you exhausted from trying to force things to happen in your own strength? Discover how your greatest breakthrough is actually waiting for you to face your fears and start wrestling with God. 

In this message by Elliott Warren, we explore why we often try to fulfill God's promises through our own works—just like Abraham did with Ishmael—and why that ultimately limits what God wants to do in our lives. You'll learn the profound difference between casual prayer and the persistent, fervent prayer that truly gets results. By looking at the life-changing story of Jacob wrestling with God, this sermon will equip you to stop striving, let go of what isn't meant for you, and cling to God for your true blessing.  If you're tired of running and ready for a transformation, this message is for you.

Why Do I Feel So Alone? Finding God in Your Darkest Night

Do you feel isolated, overwhelmed, or like you're fighting a losing battle? Discover why God sometimes separates us from our comforts to prepare us for our greatest breakthrough. 

In this message, Elliott Warren dives into the life of Jacob (Genesis 32) to explore the purpose behind our deepest struggles. Jacob spent his life striving, deceiving, and relying on his own strength to get ahead, but it wasn't until he was left completely alone that he truly met God. We often think that following God means a life free of trouble, but Jacob's story reveals that God often orchestrates our difficulties to transform us. 

We learn that the "wrestling matches" in our lives—whether with fear, past mistakes, or uncertain futures—are not meant to destroy us. Instead, they are designed to break our self-reliance and build a trust that can withstand anything. If you are ready to stop striving in your flesh and start holding on to God for a blessing, this message will encourage you to persevere until your new day breaks.

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.

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.

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.
