In certain contexts you might use one or the other but used alone they are the same

If you asked me ...do you want to go to the park. I could say sure or of course. And if would be same. I would probably say sure. .meaning like "ok". Of course maybe might be a little more similar to "certainly"

Sure can in a sentence be used in other contexts. That dog sure does look mean. In this context sure means "really". Are you sure? Are you certain?

Of course alone kind of means ok too but it's a bit more like saying certainly and implying to the other person "dont you know that?". Of course I want to go to the park ...I told you yesterday I wanted to go
