    Dear Corinth // Week 2

    In Week 2 of Dear Corinth, Pastor Zach walks through Paul’s message to the Corinthian church and challenges the way we define wisdom, success, influence, and spiritual maturity. The Corinthians had become focused on what the world considered impressive, but Paul points them back to the cross.We don’t have to prove ourselves, perform for God, or build our identity around success, influence, appearance, or credentials. The cross reminds us that our identity is found in what Christ has already done for us.At the end of it all, the message is simple: Jesus doesn’t need to be made more impressive. He needs to be at the center.

    Dear Corinth // Week 1

    In Week 1 of Dear Corinth, Pastor Zach Burris opens the series by looking at the church in Corinth—and the surprising truth that they weren’t all that different from us. They were gifted, growing, passionate, opinionated, and, at times, messy. And yet, Jesus didn’t give up on them.Pastor Zach challenges us to remember who we are, whose we are, and what truly belongs at the center of the church. Our preferences, personalities, traditions, and opinions can easily become more important than they were ever meant to be. But when Jesus is at the center, everything else finds its proper place. This message is an honest and encouraging reminder that the problems in the church don't cancel God's purpose for the church. We're imperfect people, but we're still God's people—and Jesus is still building His church.

    NextGen Service | Raising Up a Josiah Generation

    In this special NextGen Service, leaders from across Grace Covenant come together to share the heart and vision behind investing in the next generation. Beginning with the story of King Josiah, Pastor Marcus Ellington challenges us to believe that young people are not too young to be used by God. The goal isn't simply to keep kids and students busy or entertained. It's to raise up a generation whose hearts are shaped by the Word of God and who are willing to stand for what they believe. From the earliest days of childhood to young adulthood, each speaker shares how Grace Covenant is committed to helping the next generation discover who God is and who they are in Him, develop the gifts and faith God has placed within them, and be deployed into the purpose He has for their lives.Hear from Pastor Marcus Ellington, Marianne, Pastor Danielle, Pastor Scott, Gio, Tayshaun, and Kristian Estrada as they share the vision and heartbeat behind each stage of NextGen ministry.

    Unsung Heroes // The Armor Bearer

    In the last week in our Unsung Heroes series, Pastor Zach takes us into the story of Jonathan and his armor bearer—a man whose name we never even learn, but whose faithfulness played an important role in what God was doing through Jonathan.Jonathan had the vision. The armor bearer simply said, “I'm with you.” And that's what makes his story so powerful. We often celebrate the person who says, “Let's go,” but we don't always celebrate the person who stands beside them and says, “I'm with you.” Pastor Zach challenges us to rethink what significance looks like. Not everyone is called to cast the vision, stand on the platform, or receive the recognition. Sometimes our calling is to carry someone else's God-given vision, faithfully serve, and help make something bigger than ourselves become a reality. Your contribution isn't less significant simply because you're not the one getting the attention.

    Unsung Heroes // Dorcas

    What does it actually mean to leave a meaningful legacy?In this message from our Unsung Heroes series, Pastor Zach takes us to the story of Dorcas—a woman who never preached a sermon, planted a church, nor stood on a platform. She simply made clothes, served widows, showed up for people, and faithfully loved the people God had placed around her.Her story challenges the way we often measure significance. Culture tells us that a meaningful life is about followers, accomplishments, influence, recognition, and how many people know our name. But Scripture gives us a very different picture: significance can be built through a lifetime of ordinary faithfulness.Because the things that matter most may not be the things that carry our name. They may be the impressions we leave on the people we love.You don't have to be spectacular to live a meaningful life. You just have to be faithful.

  6. 188

    Unsung Heroes // Ebed Melek | Marcus Ellington

    In this message from our Unsung Heroes series, Pastor Marcus takes us into Jeremiah 38 and introduces us to Ebed Melek—a man whose name and story are easy to overlook, but whose courage made an enormous difference. When Jeremiah is thrown into a pit, Ebed Melek refuses to sit back and watch. He steps outside his comfort zone, uses the influence he's been given, and risks his own position to do what is right.But Ebed Melek's story is about more than standing up for justice. It's about learning to use whatever God has placed in our hands, trusting Him when it's difficult, and caring enough about people that we don't just want to see them rescued—we want to help them out without hurting them in the process.Pastor Marcus challenges us to stop simply commenting on the brokenness we see around us and ask a better question: What do I have, and how can God use it?

  7. 187

    Unsung Heroes // Bezalel

    What if one of the most Spirit-filled people in the Bible wasn't a preacher, a prophet, or a king—but an artist?In this message from our Unsung Heroes series, Pastor Zach introduces us to Bezalel, the first person in Scripture specifically described as being filled with the Spirit of God. Rather than being called to a platform, Bezalel was called to build, create, and use his gifts to make a place where others could encounter God's presence.Through his story, we're reminded that God sees significance where the world sees ordinary. Whether you're teaching a classroom, managing a business, fixing cars, raising kids, designing, building, serving behind the scenes, or faithfully showing up in your everyday work, God can use what He's placed in your hands for His Kingdom.

  8. 186

    Unsung Heroes // Barzillai | Pastor Marcus Ellington

    What if one of the greatest ways to serve God's Kingdom isn't by building your own legacy—but by helping someone else step into theirs?In this message from our Unsung Heroes series, Pastor Marcus introduces us to Barzillai, a man whose faithfulness showed up in the middle of one of King David's darkest seasons. Though his name is rarely mentioned, his generosity, loyalty, and humility left a lasting impact.As Pastor Marcus unpacks Barzillai's story, we're reminded that every season of life has purpose. Whether you're just getting started, somewhere in the middle, or have decades of wisdom behind you, God still has something for you to give. 

  9. 185

    Unsung Heroes // Hulda

    Pastor Zach continues our Unsung Heroes series by exploring the remarkable story of Huldah, one of the Bible's most overlooked prophets. Though she appears only briefly in Scripture, her faithfulness and courage influenced an entire nation at one of Judah's most critical moments.This message reminds us that God often prepares people in obscurity long before He uses them publicly. Whether you're serving behind the scenes, raising a family, praying faithfully, or simply choosing obedience when no one is watching, your faithfulness matters to God.Discover how Huldah's story challenges us to treasure God's Word, speak truth with both courage and compassion, and cultivate the kind of humble heart where genuine revival begins.Sometimes the people history often overlooks are the very people Heaven celebrates.

  10. 184

    Unsung Heroes // Onesimus

    This week in our Unsung Heroes series, Pastor Zach explores the remarkable story of Onesimus—a runaway slave whose life was completely transformed by the Gospel.Too often, we allow our past, our failures, or the labels others have placed on us to define who we are. But Jesus doesn't simply forgive broken people—He gives them a brand new identity.Through the powerful letter of Philemon, discover how the Gospel changes more than our relationship with God. It transforms how we see ourselves, how we view others, and how we extend grace to people we never thought could change.No matter what label you've carried, your past doesn't get the final word.Jesus does.

  11. 183

    Unsung Heroes // Epaphroditus

    What if the people making the biggest impact for God's Kingdom are the ones you've never heard of?In the first message of our Unsung Heroes series, Pastor Zach takes us to the life of Epaphroditus—a man who only gets a few verses in Scripture, yet is honored by the Apostle Paul for his extraordinary faithfulness. Through his story, we're reminded that God's Kingdom isn't built on popularity, platforms, or recognition. It's built on ordinary people who quietly and consistently say "yes" to Jesus.Whether you serve behind the scenes, wonder if your faithfulness matters, or simply need the reminder that God sees what others overlook, this message is for you.Heaven celebrates what the world often misses—and faithfulness is never forgotten by God.

  12. 182

    Minor Prophets, Major Pleas // Malachi 1-4

    It's possible to be religious... and still drift from God.In this message from the book of Malachi, Pastor Zach Burris unpacks God's final words to Israel before 400 years of silence. While the people looked faithful on the outside, their hearts had slowly wandered.Through practical and challenging examples, this sermon invites us to examine our priorities, trust God's goodness, and place Him first in every area of life.More than anything, Malachi points us to Jesus—the One who doesn't ask us to fix ourselves, but calls us to return to Him and receive a transformed heart.

  13. 181

    Father's Day | Pastor David Berry

    What does it really mean to “take it like a man”?Culture tells us strength is about winning, dominating, or never showing weakness. But Jesus revealed a completely different kind of strength—one rooted in surrender, obedience, and self-control.In this powerful Father’s Day message, Pastor David Berry challenges men (and all believers) to look beyond the world's definition of strength and follow the example of Jesus, the strongest man who ever lived. From the Garden of Gethsemane to the cross, Jesus demonstrated that true strength isn't found in getting our own way—it's found in saying, “Not my will, but Yours be done.”Through Scripture and practical application, David explores how real strength is displayed when we surrender our will to God, crucify sinful desires, overcome temptation, and remain faithful even when life is difficult. Whether you're a husband, father, leader, or simply a follower of Christ seeking to grow, this message will challenge and encourage you to live empowered by the Holy Spirit and reflect the strength of Jesus in every area of life.True strength isn't conquering others—it's allowing Christ to conquer what's happening within us.

  14. 180

    Minor Prophets, Major Pleas // Habakkuk 1-3 | Pastor Marcus Ellington

    Have you ever asked God, "Why?" and felt like His answer only raised more questions?In this message from the book of Habakkuk, Marcus Ellington walks through one of the most honest conversations in Scripture. Habakkuk brings his frustrations, confusion, and complaints directly to God, only to discover that God's plans are bigger than his understanding.As the prophet moves from questioning to listening, and from frustration to worship, we're reminded that faith isn't having all the answers—it's trusting the character of God when we don't understand His ways.If you've ever struggled with waiting, uncertainty, or unanswered questions, this message offers a powerful reminder: God is still trustworthy, even when life doesn't make sense.

  15. 179

    Minor Prophets, Major Pleas // Amos 1-9

    In this powerful message from the book of Amos, Pastor Zach challenges the modern tendency to separate worship from everyday life.Amos spoke to a nation that looked successful on the outside but was spiritually decaying on the inside. His message still echoes today: God is not impressed by worship that never reaches our neighbors, our calendars, or our wallets.This sermon is a call to humility, compassion, personal holiness, and renewed passion for sharing the Gospel. If you've ever wondered whether your faith is shaping the way you live Monday through Saturday, this message will challenge and encourage you.The church doesn't lose its power when it becomes unpopular—it loses its power when it becomes unfaithful.

  16. 178

    NextGen Sunday // Overcoming | Pastor Marcus Ellington

    Victory belongs to the people of God.In this encouraging message from NextGen Sunday, Pastor Marcus Ellington shares practical and biblical ways to overcome life's battles through the blood of Jesus, the power of God's Word, and a life filled with faith. If you've been feeling discouraged, weary, or tempted to quit, this message will remind you that God is still working, still listening, and still faithful.Keep praying. Keep trusting. Keep standing. God isn't finished yet.

  17. 177

    NextGen Wednesday // Flash Forward | Pastor Scott Raney

    What if you could see six months into your future?In this stand-alone message, Pastor Scott Raney explores the questions we all wrestle with: What’s next? Am I on the right path? Can I trust God when I can’t see where He’s leading?Using the idea of a “flash forward,” Pastor Scott walks through the lives of several often-overlooked people in Scripture who had no idea what God was preparing behind the scenes. From Anna’s faithfulness in the waiting, to Mordecai’s obedience in the ordinary, to Benaiah’s courage in the face of fear, each story reminds us that God is working even when we can’t see the full picture.This message is an encouraging reminder that while we may not know what tomorrow holds, we can trust the One who does. When the future feels uncertain, God remains faithful, His promises remain true, and His plans are still unfolding.Whether you're waiting on an answer, facing a difficult decision, or wondering what God is doing in your life right now, this message will encourage you to keep trusting Him one step at a time. 

  18. 176

    Minor Prophets, Major Pleas // Joel 1-3 | Pastor Marcus Ellington

    In this message from the book of Joel, Pastor Marcus Ellington walks through the devastation Israel experienced after a massive locust invasion and shows how Joel used that moment to point people toward something deeper: a wake-up call to return to God before their hearts drifted too far away.This sermon speaks directly to anyone who’s been going through the motions spiritually, hiding behind appearances, or trying to handle life without fully depending on God. From powerful moments about repentance and desperation for God to the reminder that God is still merciful, compassionate, and ready to restore what’s been broken, this message is both convicting and deeply hopeful.No matter how far you’ve wandered or how numb your heart has become, God is still calling you back to Him.

  19. 175

    Minor Prophets, Major Pleas // Hosea 1-14

    What do you do when your heart keeps running after things that can never truly satisfy? In this opening message of Minor Prophets, Major Pleas, Zach unpacks the shocking story of Hosea — a story that feels uncomfortable, messy, and deeply personal. Through Hosea’s relentless pursuit of Gomer, we see a picture of the relentless love of God toward wandering people.This sermon dives into the idols we quietly trust, the lesser loves we keep returning to, and the grace of a God who refuses to stop pursuing us. From heartbreak and addiction to shame and redemption, this message is a reminder that the gospel is not about climbing back to God — it’s about God coming after us again and again.If you’ve ever wondered whether God could still love you after all your failures, this message is for you.

  20. 174

    Mother's Day // Speaker Ashley Robbins

    What if the greatest impact you’ll ever make isn’t through crowds… but through the one person God placed in front of you?In this powerful message, Ashley Robbins shares her personal testimony of faith, the prayers of a mother, and the call every believer has to spiritual motherhood and discipleship. From the seeds her mom planted in her heart to the ripple effect those seeds are still producing today, this sermon is a reminder that God multiplies simple faithfulness.Whether you’re praying for a prodigal, pouring into the next generation, or wondering if your obedience even matters, this message will encourage you to keep sowing, keep praying, and keep showing up.You may never see the full harvest — but God does.________________________________________________________For missions: https://gracecovenant.org/local-outreachFor volunteering: https://gracecovenant.org/serveFor events and classes: https://gracecovenant.org/eventsFor giving: https://gracecovenant.org/give

    Fire & Cloud // Part 15

    In this final message in the Fire & Cloud series, Pastor Zach unpacks the deeper meaning behind the tabernacle—a part of Scripture that can seem distant, but is actually a powerful picture of God’s desire to be close to His people.From the altar to the mercy seat, every detail points to one reality: God isn’t just rescuing us from something—He’s drawing us into His presence.And through Jesus, what was once limited to a place is now personal.You don’t have to strive to get close to God. You don’t have to wait for a moment or a location.Because of Christ, God’s presence is no longer confined to a tabernacle… it lives in you.This message will challenge how you view your relationship with God and remind you of a life-changing truth:God’s not distant—He’s closer than you think.

  22. 172

    Fire & Cloud // Part 14

    What if real transformation is happening… and you just don’t see it yet?In this message, Pastor Zach walks through Exodus 34 and unpacks a powerful truth: when Moses spent time with God, he came down changed—but he didn’t even realize it. Everyone else saw it first.That’s how real transformation works.It’s not instant. It’s not flashy. It’s not forced. It happens slowly, quietly, and consistently as we spend time in God’s presence.This message challenges us to move beyond surface-level faith and into something deeper—where obedience flows from love, where authenticity matters more than appearance, and where time with God becomes the catalyst for real, lasting change.If you’ve ever felt stuck, unchanged, or unsure if God is working in your life, this message will remind you:You don’t have to manufacture transformation—just make room for God to move.

  23. 171

    Fire and Cloud // Part 13

    In this powerful message, Pastor Zach challenges a question many of us quietly wrestle with: “God… do You even care?”Walking through Exodus 34, we see something profound—God doesn’t just act, He introduces Himself. Not as distant, angry, or unpredictable… but as compassionate, gracious, patient, and full of faithful love.Yet in moments of pressure, silence, and waiting, we often shrink God into something smaller—something easier to understand, but far less true.This message is a call to rethink how you see God.Because what you believe about Him shapes everything—your faith, your endurance, and how you navigate life’s storms.If you’ve ever questioned God’s presence in your pain, this message will remind you of a life-changing truth:🔥 God’s compassion doesn’t remove the storm—but it guarantees you’re not in it alone.

  24. 170

    Fire & Cloud // Part 12 | Pastor Marcus Ellington

    In this powerful message, Pastor Marcus Ellington walks through Exodus 32 and exposes a truth we often overlook: what we do while we wait reveals what we truly worship.When the Israelites grew impatient, they didn’t just lose focus—they built substitutes. And today, we’re not so different. Whether it’s comfort, control, relationships, or quick solutions, we’re all tempted to trade God’s timing for something we can see and control.Through humor, real-life examples, and deep biblical insight, Pastor Marcus challenges us to confront the “idols” we’ve allowed into our lives and reminds us that waiting on God is never wasted—it’s where strength is renewed and faith is built.

  25. 169

    King of Hearts // Easter Sunday

    On this Easter Sunday message, Pastor Zach Burris brings a powerful and honest reminder: everything hinges on the resurrection.From the empty tomb in Luke 24 to the bold truth in 1 Corinthians 15, this sermon invites you to wrestle with what it really means if Jesus is alive—and what it means if He’s not. Because if He did rise, then everything changes: your past can be forgiven, your future is secure, and your life right now has eternal purpose.But beyond theology, there’s something deeper—an ache. A longing. A sense that even at our best, this world isn’t quite home.Maybe that feeling isn’t weakness.Maybe it’s homesickness.“Homesick for Heaven” is a call to live anchored in eternity while fully engaged on earth—because the tomb is empty, and our story isn’t over.

  26. 168

    King of Hearts // Good Friday

    This is not just another Good Friday message.This is holy ground... Blood-soaked ground.In this powerful message from Pastor Zach Burris, step into the story of the cross—from the garden to Golgotha—and feel the weight of what Jesus endured… for you.At the center of it all is a simple, haunting truth:“The man on the middle cross said I could come.”No résumé. No second chance to clean things up. Just grace.You won’t leave this message neutral.

  27. 167

    High Intensity Training // Pastor Marcus Ellington

    What do you do when God’s timing doesn’t match your expectations?In this message from, Pastor Marcus reminds that God isn’t just working in moments—He’s working through the entire timeline. From the waiting seasons to the unexpected detours, every part of the journey has purpose. What feels delayed or confusing to us is often God carefully setting the stage for something greater.This sermon invites us to zoom out, trust the process, and believe that God is present in every chapter—not just the breakthrough moments. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overlooked, or unsure of what God is doing, this message will encourage you to hold on and trust that your story isn’t off track… it’s still unfolding.

  28. 166

    Fire and Cloud // Part 11

    What if the reason you’re exhausted isn’t your schedule—but your soul?In this message, Zach unpacks the deeper meaning of Sabbath and why God didn’t command rest to restrict us, but to restore us. In a world driven by productivity, pressure, and performance, it’s easy to believe that our value comes from what we do. But what if that’s not true?This sermon is a reminder that you are not what you produce—you are who you belong to.Discover how Sabbath isn’t just about stopping work, but about trusting God, resetting your identity, and finding real rest that actually lasts.

  29. 165

    Fire & Cloud // Part 10

    In this message from the Fire & Cloud series, Pastor Zach walks through the moment God pauses the Exodus journey to give the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai.Many people think of the commandments as restrictions—but Scripture reveals something very different. God didn’t give the law to earn salvation; He gave it to people He had already rescued.In this sermon, Zach explains how God’s commands are actually an act of grace, how they lead to true freedom, and how they ultimately reveal our need for Jesus—the only one who perfectly fulfilled the law.Discover why the commandments aren’t meant to crush us, but to show us what a life shaped by love for God and others truly looks like.

  30. 164

    Cloud & Fire // Part 9

    In Exodus 17–18, the Israelites are learning what it means to live not just as rescued people—but as God’s people. After the miracles of the Red Sea, manna, and water from the rock, God pauses the action to teach them how to live together in community.Through the battle with the Amalekites and the wisdom of Jethro, we see three powerful truths about how God’s people thrive: we fight with prayer, we grow by sharing our story, and we flourish when everyone carries the mission together.This message from Pastor Zach Burris reminds us that the most important battles in life aren’t won by strength alone. They’re won when God’s people lift their hands in prayer, open their mouths to testify to what God has done, and step into their role in the body of Christ.If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like to live as part of God’s people—not just individually but together—this message will challenge and encourage you to step in.

  31. 163

    Fire and Cloud // Part 8

    What happens after the miracle… when the desert begins?As Pastor Zach delves into Exodus 15–17, Israel moves from singing at the Red Sea to grumbling over bitter water, missing food, and a lack of provision. In just three days, celebration turns into complaint. And through it all, God keeps asking the same question:Will you trust Me for today?This message explores the tests of bitter water, daily manna, and water from the rock — and how each one points to Jesus. Because our security isn’t found in what we store up, but in the God who shows up again tomorrow.

  32. 162

    Fire & Cloud // Part 7 | Pastor Stan Wilson

    What do you do when the road forward feels blocked and the way out isn’t clear?In this powerful message from Exodus 13–14, Pastor Stan Wilson walks us through the story of the Israelites at the Red Sea and reminds us that God is still at work even when the path feels long, confusing, or impossible. Through deeply personal stories—from moments of desperation, healing, and unexpected miracles—he shows how God has a history of making a way when there seems to be no way.This message is for anyone and everyone who feels stuck between a promise and a process, freedom and fear, or faith and uncertainty. If you’ve ever wondered why God is taking the long route, or questioned whether He’s still present in the middle of the mess, this message will encourage you to trust that God sees what you can’t—and He’s already making a way.

  33. 161

    Fire & Cloud // Part 6 | Pastor Marcus Ellington

    In this message from the Fire and Cloud series, Pastor Marcus Ellington walks us through one of the most powerful moments in the book of Exodus—the night God made a clear distinction between Egypt and Israel.As the final plague approaches, we see a God who is both completely just and deeply merciful. A spotless lamb is sacrificed. Blood is placed on the doorposts. And God gives one simple instruction: stay in the house.This sermon connects the Passover story to Jesus, our ultimate Passover Lamb, showing how obedience, faith, and trust in God’s provision bring deliverance. Pastor Marcus reminds us that it’s not about qualifications, perfection, or having it all figured out—it’s about trusting God enough to do what He says and staying under His covering.If you’ve ever struggled with doubt, obedience, or wondered how God still makes a distinction in the lives of His people today, this message will encourage your faith and point you back to the power of the blood of Jesus.

  34. 160

    In It to Finish It // Standalone message | Guest Speaker Natalie Runion

    In this powerful and deeply personal message, guest speaker Natalie Runion invites us into an honest conversation about church hurt, healing, and the courage it takes to stay. Drawing from her own story as a pastor’s kid—and seasons of both deep love for the church and real disappointment—Natalie reminds us that while people may fail us, God never does.Through Scripture, storytelling, and humor, she paints a picture of a church filled with people at every stage of faith—some holding on for dear life, others still full of joy—and shows how the Holy Spirit meets each of us right where we are. This sermon challenges us to choose prayer over offense, unity over division, and perseverance over quitting.If you’ve ever been wounded by the church, tempted to walk away, or unsure how to trust again, this message is a hopeful reminder that God is still at work—and He’s not finished with you or His church.

  35. 159

    Doing vs Being // Standalone message

    In this standalone message from Hebrews 12 and Luke 10, Pastor Zach challenges the way many of us approach our faith, our work, and our pace of life. Drawing from the story of Mary and Martha, he explores the tension between doing and being—between a life driven by productivity and a life rooted in abiding with Jesus.This sermon is an honest and pastoral invitation to slow down, let go of self-imposed pressure, and rediscover rest as a gift, not a reward. If you’ve been overwhelmed, overextended, or secretly believing that one more checked box will finally bring peace, this message will remind you that Jesus Himself is the better portion—and He’s worth sitting with.

  36. 158

    Fire & Cloud // Part 5 | Willy, Ray, & Billy

    In this message from Exodus 7–10, Willy, Ray, and Pastor Billy each bring both Scripture and personal experience to the story of God’s confrontation with Pharaoh.Willy draws from his own life to talk honestly about pride, pressure, and the temptation to hold onto control when surrender feels risky. Ray shares from his journey what it looks like to trust God’s power through real seasons of uncertainty, resistance, and learning obedience the hard way. Together with Billy, they show how Pharaoh’s hardened heart mirrors our own struggle with partial obedience, delayed surrender, and surface-level repentance.This episode challenges us to look at where our experiences have shaped our trust in God—and invites us to release control, soften our hearts, and recognize that God alone is truly in charge.

  37. 157

    Fire & Cloud // Part 4

    What happens when you obey God—and life gets harder instead of easier? In this message from Exodus 4–6, Pastor Zach speaks to anyone who has said yes to God, only to feel like obedience backfired. Moses finally steps into his calling, and immediately faces resistance, confusion, and apparent failure. Pharaoh’s heart hardens, the people suffer more, and Moses is left asking, “Lord, why?”This sermon reminds us that God often uses opposition, delay, and difficulty to reveal who He is and teach us to trust Him more deeply. If you’re weary in obedience, this message will encourage you to keep going—God is not absent, He’s at work.

  38. 156

    Fire and Cloud // Part 3

    Ever wrestled with the question, “Who am I to do this?” In this message from Exodus 3, Pastor Zach explores Moses’ encounter with God at the burning bush and what it reveals about insecurity, self-doubt, and calling.Moses’ question is met with a life-changing answer: “I AM.” This sermon reminds us that God doesn’t call the qualified—He qualifies the called, often shaping us through failure, waiting, and wilderness seasons. Whatever you feel you lack, God promises to be exactly what you need.If you’ve felt like a runner-up, unprepared, or unsure of your purpose, this episode will encourage you to trust the process and lean into the power and presence of the Great I AM.

  39. 155

    Fire and Cloud // Week 2 | Pastor Marcus Ellington

    In Exodus 2, Pastor Marcus unpacks the story of Moses and the Israelites, revealing how God responds when His people cry out to Him. Moses tried to fulfill God’s calling in his own strength, leading to failure and a long season of preparation, while the Israelites suffered under oppression until desperation drove them to seek God. When they cried out, God heard them and remembered His covenant. Pastor Marcus reminds us that we are God’s handiwork and that, through Jesus Christ and a better covenant, we can trust God to hear and respond when we cry out to Him in impossible situations.

  40. 154

    Fire & Cloud // Week 1

    As we step into a new year, Pastor Zach Burris reminds us that God is still in the business of rescuing people. Drawing from the story of Exodus, this message speaks directly to those who have been hurt by others, those stuck in old patterns, and those who feel half-committed in their faith. With honesty and clarity, Zach calls the church not just to focus on what Jesus saves us from, but what He saves us to—a life of freedom, joy, and purpose. He challenges listeners to leave “Egypt” behind, confront modern-day idols, and take God seriously through prayer, fasting, and real sacrifice.
