In this powerful message titled “Favor in the Life of Joseph,” Pastor Sean Pinder reveals how the favor of God can elevate you from obscurity to prominence. Joseph went through betrayal, hardship, and injustice, yet God's hand remained on his life and opened doors even in the darkest seasons. Pastor Sean explains that when God's favor is upon you, no setback or opposition can hinder His plan.

When everyone else saw a giant, David saw an opportunity to prove the greatness of his God. In this powerful message titled “Ridiculous Faith,” Pastor Sean Pinder dives into 1 Samuel 17:31–51 and unpacks the kind of bold, unshakable faith that defies logic and transforms impossible situations. Just like David, who walked onto the battlefield with nothing but a sling, a few stones, and confidence in the living God, you too can experience victory when you dare to believe beyond what makes sense. Pastor Sean reveals that God specializes in doing the extraordinary through those who are willing to act in faith that looks ridiculous to others.No matter what Goliath you're facing—whether it's sickness, debt, fear, or discouragement—God can use your simple obedience and courage to bring down giants. This message will stir up your spirit, strengthen your confidence in God's promises, and remind you that the battle is not yours but the Lord's. Get ready to be inspired, uplifted, and challenged to believe BIG! Tune in now and let your faith rise to a whole new level.

Pastor Sean Pinder teaches from Daniel 6:10–28, the powerful story of Daniel in the lions' den. Even when Daniel faced death for standing firm in his faith, he refused to compromise. His obedience and trust in God opened the door for a supernatural deliverance that stunned his enemies. No matter how impossible your situation looks or how fierce the attack may be, God is still able to rescue, protect, and defend those who are faithful to Him.Pastor Sean reminds you that the same God who shut the mouths of lions is fighting for you today. What was meant to destroy you will become the very thing that showcases God's power and promotes you. When you remain steadfast in prayer and trust, God will step in at the perfect moment. He will come through—not just to save you, but to show Himself mighty on your behalf and turn your test into a testimony.

Pastor Sean Pinder preaches from 1 Kings 1:41–53, where Adonijah's unauthorized celebration is abruptly stopped as the true king, Solomon, is anointed by God. While the enemy may seem to be rejoicing over your situation, his celebration is temporary. The moment God steps in and affirms His promise, everything shifts. What the enemy thought he secured begins to unravel, because when God has already chosen you, no plan of darkness can prevail.Pastor Sean encourages you to stand firm and declare the victory that God has already given you. The devil's party ends when you step into the authority God has placed over your life. Just as Solomon was publicly recognized and enthroned, God is about to elevate you and silence every voice that opposed you. The tables are turning, and the enemy's celebration is coming to an end—because God's favor is rising over you today.

In this powerful message, Pastor Sean Pinder teaches from 1 Kings 1:28–40, where Solomon is anointed king despite all the opposition and political maneuvering around him. Even when others tried to take the throne, God's word prevailed. What God has spoken over your life cannot be overridden by human plans or circumstances. Like Solomon, you may face resistance, but when God chooses and anoints you, He makes a way for His promise to come to pass.Pastor Sean reminds you that the anointing breaks every barrier and accelerates divine purpose. When the oil of God comes upon your life, He positions you, establishes you, and causes favor to surround you. You weren't called to live in defeat—you were anointed to reign in every area God has assigned you to. Get ready to step into your destiny with confidence, knowing that God has already approved what others may try to oppose.

Pastor Sean concludes the series through 2 Peter this week pointing out that while we await the promises of a new heaven and new earth we need to... 1. Be Ready 2. Be Patient 3. Be on Guard 4. Be Growing. How are we doing in those areas?

10/19/25 - Favor of God Pt 3 - Pastor Sean O'Rourke by Zion Christian Fellowship

In this message, Pastor Sean teaches on the first commandment, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Loving God radically means putting Him above every idol, every false belief, and every desire that competes for our hearts. From Solomon's downfall to the modern idols of self, pleasure, and false religion, we see that anything placed before God leads to deception and distance from His love. False gods promise freedom but deliver bondage. Yet Jesus the one true and living God calls us to wholehearted devotion and authentic relationship. When we encounter Him, our hearts are set free to love purely, live boldly, and worship Him alone The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God. At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God. Each week, you will hear a teaching from our Lead Pastors, Les and Nikki Cody or another leader in our community. To learn more about Mercy Culture, visit https://mercyculturewaco.com

9/21/25 - The Power of Hosting - Pastor Sean O'Rourke by Zion Christian Fellowship

Life is full of seasons that require rebuilding. When children leave home, when loss changes everything, when dreams shift, or when the future does not go as planned, we face a choice to start again. Pastor Sean turns to the book of Zechariah to learn what it means to rebuild not just structures, but our very lives. Through stories of transition and faith, we explore how God calls us to break old patterns, live above the chaos, grieve what has been lost, and take responsibility for our response. Zechariah reminds us that rebuilding begins not with plans or blueprints, but with returning to God and trusting that His Spirit can make us His living temple.
