Cities Church SermonsOur Role in Global Missions In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell continues the ‘all nations’ conversation from last week's sermon (Ps. 67) by expounding upon the meaning of Psalm 68 – that the ‘all nations’ hope will be realized by the coming of a victorious divine king named Jesus – and then gets practical by sharing the ways Cities Church specifically may join in on this ‘all nations’ mission. 2023-07-1638 min
Cities Church SermonsOur Missionary Calling In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds upon the hope of Psalm 67 – that all nations of the earth would worship God. Our missionary calling is to continue spreading the gospel to the ends of the earth. And what we should realize is that we are apart of “all the ends of the earth.” We have heard the gospel because global missionaries were sent. It’s because Jesus did have witnesses to the ends of the earth. 2023-07-0941 min
Public Defenseless131: How to Solve the Public Defender Shortage in Rural America w/Patrick Crowley, Michael Naughton and Jonathan Sacks Today, Hunter spoke with Patrick Crowley, Michael Naughton and Jonathan Sacks to talk through the attorney shortage crisis in rural America and what we can do to reverse the trend. While today’s episode focuses a lot on what is happening in rural Michigan, make no mistake, this is a problem facing nearly every state in the country. As rural, small town America has declined over the past decades, it has become harder and harder to entice young public defenders, laden with outrageous student debt, to want to practice in the rural parts of a state. So what can be...2023-06-271h 35
Cities Church SermonsJoy With Jesus In this sermon on Psalm 64, Pastor Jonathan Parnell looks at a common theme in the psalms and slows down to think about how we approach the psalms as readers. When we look at the text we should look at it in three ways: text, Jesus, life. Psalm 64 leads us to the invitation from Jesus to join him in his joy. Jesus gives us joy, down deep in our souls. 2023-06-1838 min
Cities Church SermonsRadical Faith In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell begins our fifth summer of Psalms by expounding upon David's words in Psalm 62. The main message of Psalm 62, and the whole Book of Psalms, is to show what it looks like to have radical faith in God.

Cities Church SermonsWhat’s New About the New Covenant? In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds Hebrews 8:7-13 which is all about the New Covenant.

Cities Church SermonsOur Eternal, Perfect Priest In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds Hebrews 7:20-28 which is about the hope of the new covenant – a better hope, a better covenant, a better salvation.

Jesus – the all-sufficient sacrifice – is alive forever, and he intercedes for us. 2023-04-2342 min
Cities Church SermonsOur Strongest Encouragement In this sermon, on Easter Sunday, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds Hebrews 6:13-20 which is most importantly about the resurrection glory of Jesus.

Cities Church SermonsConvinced of Better Things In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds one of the strongest, most uncomfortable warning passages in the New Testament – Hebrews 6:4–6.

Cities Church SermonsThe Maturity Comeback In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds upon Hebrews 5:11-6:3 which is the Hebrew author's inspirational word to the people to make a comeback by pressing on to maturity. They were still feeding on milk, when they ought to be eating solid food by now. When comparing and contrasting the world with the Church, we see churches in our society get stuck on the common ground preference, and our secular society approves of this. But despite societal opposition, we want Cities Church, by God's grace, to progress on to further maturity. 2023-03-2640 min
Cities Church SermonsThe Living and Active Word of God Is Our Only Hope for Changed Hearts In this sermon on Hebrews 4:12-13, Pastor Jonathan Parnell shows how the Bible is the living and active word of God, and therefore when we listen to it we are listening to God himself because it is an extension of himself.

The command here is to exhort one another to cling to Jesus, lest we be deceived by sin. 2023-02-2639 min
Cities Church SermonsWhy Did Jesus Suffer? In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds upon what Hebrews 2:10-18 tells us about Jesus's relationship to us.

When we cry out to Jesus for help, we must know – He has been there. 2023-02-1244 min
Cities Church SermonsJesus Is Better In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell begins our Hebrews series by examining an essential truth from Hebrews 1:1-4: Jesus is better than any other thing.

Cities Church SermonsMoving Closer In this sermon on Leviticus 11-15, Pastor Jonathan Parnell connects these chapters to the rest of the story of the Christian life.

Cities Church SermonsGetting to the Heart of (Not) Giving In this sermon, part four of our ROOTED series, Pastor Jonathan looks at Matthew 6 and asks the question, "Could it be that anxiety is the real cause of greed?" Pastor Jonathan Parnell examines the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 6:25–34 and its connection to money in the previous passage (vv. 19–24). The reason we don’t give more to God is because we are anxious it will make us miserable. The remedy? To remember that God is our heavenly Father and he cares for us. 2021-03-1434 min
