City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

As the pressures of life hit us, it’s time to get deeper in God. We have been birthed by the power of the Holy Spirit and He has called us to be a supernatural people, with our faith based on the power of God, and not by our own strength.  How can believers cross from the natural to the supernatural? Pastor Derek Dunn shares that there are three levels of the supernatural that we are called to mov...

The Book of Mark is an action-packed Gospel—more miracles are chronicled here than in the other Gospels. In this sermon, Pastor Jeremy Choy encourages us to take hold of Jesus, because if we do, our lives will never be the same again. But taking hold of Jesus is not us holding Him ransom to our demands; instead, three things will happen to us if we allow Him to work in us. First, His timing rarely...

In this Chinese New Year message, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain offers up food for thought on what makes for a better year. Most people consider “better” to having more than the year before, but what is God’s idea of “better”? Preaching out of Haggai 1, Pastor Aries reminds us to “give careful thought” to our ways. He posits two key points. One, in your busyness, do not forget to enjoy God. After all, t...

In this encouraging message, Pastor Bobby Chaw exhorts the church to begin their 2022 with prayer, following Jesus’ habit of constantly being in prayer, even as He took His last breath. Pastor Bobby tells of how, because of the pandemic, he has cultivated a new routine of daily prayer, and five key truths. One, don’t despise the day of small beginnings. The only way to grow in prayer is to pray—st...

At the start of a new year, we often set out to accomplish goals. But more than having a vision, we need to build our lives on a firm foundation—a revelation from God and His Word.  To have a strong foundation, we need to build before the storm comes. We do this by getting into the Word, prayer, ministry and godly relationships. The fact is, storms of life will come—and when they do, we must be re...

Pastor Wu Yuzhuang shares the account of how Jesus interrupted the 2 disciples on the road to Emmaus and changed the course their lives.  When Jesus “interrupts” our lives, He is with us every step of the way, walking with us. When unmet expectations bring disappointment and disillusionment in life, He wants us to know that while He may not always give us what we want, He will always ensure we hav...

The Bible says that as believers, we all have a measure of faith, albeit the size of a mustard seed. Yet, just a mustard seed size of faith is enough to do the impossible.  The key lies in knowing how to activate our faith. Pastor Bobby Chaw shares 4 ways in which we can do that.  First, we need to meditate on God’s Word. By doing so, we allow the Word of God to cleanse our thoughts and as God’s W...

It is Christmas Weekend at City Harvest and we are celebrating the Light of the world—Jesus! It was against a backdrop of the darkest winter that Jesus was born into this world. This is the good news of Christmas, that Jesus will come into your dark times, your difficult circumstances and struggles; and you will receive grace and strength to withstand your problems. In our darkest moments, God is...

Christmas is a time to remember that Jesus came to bring light to a world of darkness. We all go through dark seasons in life that often get us down and discouraged. But God wants us to know that He can use these tough circumstances to bring us to a higher purpose in life.  In sermon leading up to Christmas, Pastor Kong shares three simple things we can do (B.T.S.) when we are in a dark place in l...

Salvation is not the mere pardon of sin, it is a Christlike transformation. The goal of the Christian life is to have an intimate relationship with God—spiritual union and sharing in the communion of the trinity. For a believer to lead a Spirit-filled life, he must walk in the righteousness, love and power of God; because this is the true nature of God.  The early Pentecostal fathers looked for fo...

As human beings, from time to time, we’d wish we had superpowers. But let’s take a moment to consider that God, who is all-powerful and all-knowing, decided to put aside His powers to become human, to identify with our humanity and frailty—in order to save us. Jesus Christ came to give us salvation and grace needed for this life—to overcome difficulties, crisis and tragedy. As we learn to acknowle...

One of the toughest battle to fight is the battle of the mind. That is why in Rom 12:1-2, the Apostle Paul urges us to daily renew our mind. God wants to give us a new mindset— a whole new way of thinking—to live with a kingdom perspective. The word “renew” in Latin is “renovare”, which means to restore or restructure what is old and malfunctioning. There are areas in our lives that need to be tor...

Continuing his series on Katharsis, Theoria and Theosis, Pastor Kong Hee touches on the second key to having spiritual union with God—Theoria. Theoria means “to see; to have a vision of God; to have an encounter with Him; to tangibly experience Him.” Encounters with God show us He is real and that, in turn, transforms our lives.  How can one experience encounters with the Lord? By having the right...

As believers, how we live our lives on this earth will determine our capacity for joy and happiness in the new heaven and earth. The more we come into union with God, the larger a vessel we will become. In this message, Pastor Kong shares three keys to having union with God: Kartharsis (purification), Theoria (revelation), and Theosis (union).  Kartharsis, or purification, is the process of flushi...

At his lowest point in Genesis chapter 37, Joseph was sold as a slave; at his highest point in chapter 39, he was the prime minister of Egypt. Right smack in the middle of these two chapters is chapter 38, which seems to be an interruption to the account of Joseph’s life. No one likes interruptions that are uncomfortable and inconvenient. Yet, interruptions can often be divine. In this message, Pa...

No matter how forgetful man is, the Lord always remembers. Preaching out of Luke 1, Edmund Tay shows in this sermon that God never forgets His people. Because we can trust God, we must believe in Him and his goodness. Pastor Edmund teaches that believers must do these three things: one, they must believe without bitterness, because bitterness kills faith. Two, they must believe despite the doubt,...

Continuing on the theme of Theosis in this sermon, Kong Hee expands on what this spiritual union with God entails. Drawing from 2 Cor 5:4 which reads: “what is mortal may be swallowed up by life”, Pastor Kong teaches that what we have right now is merely a measure of eternal life and the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Therefore let us not be complacent, but grow in God by coming into deeper union wit...

For many, the goal of the Christian life is to be converted, to have our condemnation removed. But Kong Hee teaches in this sermon that the goal of Christianity truly is spiritual union, that is, a life-transforming, personal, intimate relationship with God. In this powerful sermon, Pastor Kong teaches that God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit form a social trinity, and the love of Go...

Jesus performed many miracles, signs and wonders during His time on Earth. But His chief ministry was to reveal the Father to the world. In this touching sermon, Lin Junxian teaches two key points about Jesus’ ministry: one, that Jesus came to reveal God as a loyal, caring, loving, forgiving, protective Father; and two, that Jesus sends us to reveal the Father. God wants us to represent Him as His...

The Sabbath belongs to Jesus. He was resurrected from the dead on the Sabbath. The Day of Pentecost fell on the Sabbath. The disciples continued to gather on the Sabbath despite persecution. In Genesis, God had established the Sabbath and declared it holy. What do you do on the Sabbath? In this message, Bobby Chaw helps us to realign our priorities: the Sabbath is a day to give God time and honour...

In Matthew 11, Jesus declared that the Kingdom of God was already here, and blessed was the one who could accept the Already and Not Yet. In this rousing message, Kong Hee teaches that the Kingdom of God is powerful and that “the violent take it by storm”—those who are passionate and determined will experience it. The Kingdom of God requires radical obedience and willing surrender, and believers m...

One thing that is as important than knowing God is to be known by Him (1 Cor 13:12). In this thought-provoking message, Aries Zulkarnain unpacks the parable of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16, to show us what it looks like to be known by God. First, it’s someone who has his identity in Christ—Lazarus was named and the rich man was not, because Lazarus depended on God his whole life. Second, it...

Expanding on the theme of the Kingdom of Heaven, Wu Yuzhuang unpacks Mt 18:21-22 in this powerful sermon about forgiveness. Divine forgiveness is expansive, generous, unlimited; love does not allow us to set a limit on forgiveness. The inability to forgive is linked to mental illness, so forgiveness is not an option, but a necessity. Pastor Zhuang teaches 5 things about forgiveness we must underst...

In this season of building a Church Without Walls, Bobby Chaw encourages us to be an imitator of Christ, whose compassion knows no bounds or limits. In the Gospels, we see how Jesus fully felt the pain of the suffering, such as the widow (Lk 7) whose son had died, and raised him from the dead. In this sermon, Pastor Bobby spells out three things we can learn about the compassion of Jesus: one, it...
