Most of us think the ultimate goal of the Christian faith is just "going to heaven" when we die, but what if there's something much greater? Discover the surprising, biblical truth about your eternal future and what actually happens when Jesus returns.

In this powerful message, Elliott Warren dives deep into Romans 8 and 1 Corinthians 15 to uncover the "Great Christian Hope". If you've ever felt like this world is broken or you're groaning for something more, it's because you were meant for a glorious transformation. We aren't just meant to exist as spirits without bodies—or "ghosts" in the afterlife. Instead, we are promised a physical resurrection where we will be fully adopted as "sons of God".

Learn why all of creation is waiting for this exact moment and how understanding this biblical reality can completely change how you view your present struggles. Stop looking forward to just an intermediate state in heaven, and start putting your hope in the day your mortal body is redeemed and fully transformed into the image of Christ!

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.

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.
