Sundays at Grace

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. This sermon is an invitation to stop settling, lean fully into God’s plans, and believe that the same God who parted the sea is still leading His people into new life today.
