Cities Church is a community of Christians who live as the on-the-ground expression of the universal supremacy of Jesus by advancing his gospel in distance and depth.

Cities Church will be meeting this Saturday, April 18 at Jubilee Community Church in Minneapolis — 1628 East 33rd Street. We will meet at 10:00AM.

Paul Tripp is quoted as saying, “If God doesn’t rule your mundane, then he doesn’t rule you. Because that’s where you live.”

In this world, we go to bed with things unfinished or with checklists that are completed only to be drawn up again the next day. But cascading over it all is that the most important, hardest work in this life is finished. 

How does the meaning of life fit in with the mission of Cities Church? What does this look like in the context of discipleship? In particular, what does it have to do with us telling our friends about Jesus?

Speaking from her own experience of suffering, Emily Thiel encourages Cities Church to not be frivolous in the face of pain, but, even in the midst of it, even when it makes no sense, to trust God that one day it will.

This week I mentioned again that the first song we will be singing together in corporate worship will be one that is intentionally geared for kids. The hope is that the lyrics and melody are simple enough for children to easily learn them and sing along...
