The Fool's Hope

Cities Church Sermon • Psalm 53

July 31, 2022 • Ryan Griffith

In this sermon, Pastor Ryan Griffith explores the reality that we are all like the fool as described in Psalm 53. But despite the foolishness of humanity, we have an assured hope in the promise that God will restore his people!

From Distance to Devotion

September 25, 2022 • Jonathan Parnell

In this Sermon on Psalm 61, Pastor Jonathan Parnell gives three steps to take when we feel far away. It begins with desiring change, followed by remembering God is for us, and then we must also have hope in the Messiah. David has this hope moving from distance to devotion and he wants us to know that it is centered on Jesus.

Fall Back to the Banner

September 18, 2022 • David Mathis

In this sermon from Pastor David Mathis, we learn from Psalm 60 the spiritual dynamic of fleeing to God in our devastation. God's sovereignty inspires our hope, we should flee to the banner of his word, we should call upon his decisive action in prayer, and we should know that God protects his own – without even breaking a sweat.

Do Not Throw Back

September 11, 2022 • Kenneth Ortiz

In this sermon, Pastor Kenny Ortiz exposits David's feelings of being hunted by Saul's men in Psalm 59. God has determined David to be the next king and it is laughable to try and stop God's plan. David is confident in the steadfast love of God, therefore he will build his life upon this truth. Thus, he does not seek vengeance when the spears are hurling toward him. When faced with persecution, do not throw back – suffer the mistreatment and ask God for his deliverance.
