City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

In this sermon, Jeremy Choy teaches that putting God in remembrance evokes gratitude, intimacy and hope. Illustrating with impactful testimonies, Pastor Jeremy spells out the power of remembering what God has done for you, what He is doing and what He will be doing for you.  Remembrance is part of the process through which we are transformed to be more like Christ. Listen and be encouraged by this...

Why is CHC going through this season of silence and solitude? In this sermon, Aries Zulkarnain reveals that silence and solitude is necessary for us to realise what we need to repent of. Repentance is submitting one’s mind and will and following Jesus—not just giving up sins but putting an end to dead works. Pastor Aries poses this thought-provoking question: have we become so used to following th...

In this special message on Father’s Day, Kong Hee shares six qualities—forming the acronym F.A.T.H.E.R—that every father should develop. A father is his child’s first friend and their friendship should last a lifetime. A father is also advisor to his child, the one who imparts values and wisdom. A father is the teacher who trains his child in the way he should go. A father is also his child’s heal...

Are we too busy serving God to pay attention to Him? In this sermon, Lin Junxian draws from the example, of Mary and Martha in Luke 10. Mary was found sitting at the feet of Jesus, while her sister Martha was busy preparing refreshments. Why did Jesus conclude that Mary had chosen the good part? Pastor Junxian unpacks the heart condition of Martha: she drew her self-worth and purpose from fulfilli...

Levi was a tax collector who received the call of Jesus (Luke 5), and was transformed into a disciple of Christ called Matthew, the writer of the Gospel. In this message, Bobby Chaw shows what it means to surrender our lives to Jesus. First, it is God who draws us to Himself—we cannot come to Him unless He does. We must therefore make time and give God space to draw us in and speak to us. Second,...

In John 14:12 Jesus told His disciples, “he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do.” We must understand the function and type of work Jesus speaks of: the function of work is to bear witness to Who Jesus is, so that people will believe in Him; the type of work is ergon (Gr), which doesn't just mean miracles, signs and wonders, but the...

Mothers are often patient and kind to their children but not to themselves. In this encouraging Mother’s Day message, Sun Ho shares candidly about feeling inadequate as a mother. But she has learned that every mother has what it takes to be the mother God has called her to be. In the book of Ruth, there was much tragedy in Naomi’s life, but she went from being a mother, to mother-in-law to Ruth, t...

Bobby Chaw continues on the theme of desiring more of Jesus in this message. Today Jesus is calling you to follow him wholly and unreservedly. To do so we must renounce two things: sin and self. We must be ruthless with sin and unrighteousness - no compromise. Repentance is a change of heart that transforms our lives. Second, we must deny ourselves and follow Christ. Without Him we can do nothing....

From conception to resurrection, Jesus lived every moment of His life by the Holy Spirit. In this moving and powerful message from Bobby Chaw, we are reminded that as Jesus is, so must we be. The anointing and power of the Holy Spirit are absolutely necessary for every minute of our life, as they were for Jesus. But reality is that familiarity breeds contempt: are you still desiring more of His Ki...

Sometimes life hurts, but God wants to heal your wounds and give you a great future. In this moving message Lin Junxian reminds us that God gave Jesus a resurrected body, but His scars remained, the only manmade things that He brought to heaven. The scars of Jesus remind us of three things: one, they remind us of His sacrifice on the cross, which wiped out Satan’s “charge sheet” against us. Two, s...

In the first of a new series, Kong Hee teaches on the Kingdom of God, a future reality Jesus spoke of that Christians can experience in part now. The Kingdom of God is the sovereign rule of His Kingship; it is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. In this sermon, Pastor Kong elaborates on righteousness, which believers must seek first (Matt 6:33). Righteousness can be practically exerci...

In this Easter message, Kong Hee takes us through three important reasons why Jesus stayed on the cross even though He had the power to come down. First, He stayed on the cross to forgive all our sins. Man is unable to save himself—it took Jesus dying on the cross to put to death the sins that man commits. Second, He stayed on the cross to heal all our sicknesses—we experience healing when we hear...

In this Palm Sunday message, Aries Zulkarnain explores the significance of the first—when Jesus turned water into wine (John 2)—and last of Jesus’ miracles before He was crucified, when He raised Lazarus from the dead. These two instances showed how Jesus is there for us in times of joy and of sorrow. Although it was not time for Him to reveal Himself, Jesus went behind the scenes at the wedding i...

As Easter approaches, Wu Yuzhuang shares a timely message about Palm Sunday, when Jesus entered into Jerusalem on a donkey. He had sent His disciples to bring the donkey, telling its owner that “the Lord has need of them” (Matt 21:1-3). In the same way, the Lord has need of each of us—it is our privilege to be needed, desired and wanted by Jesus. The people He uses are those who are accessible, wh...

After a time of spiritual retreat with the senior leadership of City Harvest, Pastor Kong recapped selected topics discussed during the retreat. Featuring pastors Sun Ho, Aries Zulkarnain, Bobby Chaw and Wu Yuzhuang, the conversation centred around the focus of the church and the responsibility of every Christian. Why do we need to define our doctrine? What is systematic theology? What kind of a c...

We are all born with a fallen sinful nature which the Bible calls the flesh. As believers of Jesus, we receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to sanctify us. Until we get to heaven, every Christian possess two opposing natures—the spirit and the flesh; and there is always the temptation to sin. But Paul gives us the key to victory over sin—the Holy Spirit—who reminds us of how we can walk in th...

Something always happens when we pray, because prayer is aligning our thoughts, intentions and desires with God. In this powerful sermon, Bobby Chaw explores three of Jesus's prayers that demonstrate how we, as Christians, also should pray. First, Jesus prayed "Father not my will but yours be done": when we wrestle with God and bring our will into submission under Him, things begin...

A key element of CHC's Vision 2021 is to love unconditionally. In this message, Aries Zulkarnain shows how Jesus' disciple John was transformed from being a person of absolutes to the Apostle of Love through learning how Jesus dealt with sinners such as the adulterous woman (John 8:1-11), Simon Peter who denied Him (John 18:17-18) and the ones who put Jesus to death on the Cross despite...

The world has gone through a dark time this past year and it’s not over yet. But God wants teach us how to create a new world out of the broken pieces of our lives. In this powerful message, Pastor Erwin McManus of Mosaic Church, Los Angeles preaches out of Isaiah 61: in a terrible season, we are to proclaim the good news of the Lord by seeing what God sees about our future that no-one can imagine...

If we want to draw near to God and enjoy Him forever, we must be sanctified—set apart and purified. In this second part of his teaching on growing  in holiness, Kong Hee unpacks “mortification”, to kill every evil and self-indulgent habit in our lives daily (Rom 8:13 KJV) and to live a righteous life. This is internal spiritual warfare, and it can only be fought in the power of the Holy Spirit. Pa...

God calls us “to be holy, as I am holy” (1 Pet 1:16). In this sermon, Kong Hee explains why we can never fully love God and enjoy Him forever, until we ourselves are like Jesus. The holier we are, the fuller our joy. What does it mean to be holy? It is not about keeping a set of rules, but about being like Jesus: reflecting His character through the fruits of the spirit (Gal 5:22-23). Be encourage...

In this powerful message, Bobby Chaw explores the significance dining with Jesus. First, when Jesus receives us and dines with us, He offers protection even in the presence of our enemies. Second, reconciliation happens as people dine together, even enemies. Finally, healing and deliverance take place when we break bread with Jesus. Start 2021 right and dine daily with Jesus through spending time...

Things may remain challenging in our COVID-ridden world this year, but Wu Yuzhuang teaches that though we may be under such circumstances, but it’s not over for the Christian. When our faith is under fire, Pastor Zhuang encourages us to choose obedience to God over the outcome we hope for. Jeremiah 29 exhorts the children of Israel to “plant gardens and eat their fruit”. Even in a time of difficul...

God still has a purpose for each of us—as we begin a new year, Aries Zulkarnain encourages us to put our trust in Jesus alone. Pastor Aries shows us that when we have a vision of Jesus in our lives—just as Mary did when the Angel announced to her that she would be with Child—it will enable us to look beyond our own limitations and began seeing the possibility of doing the impossible. First, we mus...

2021 is the year for the believer to build up his spiritual storehouse in preparation for what God is going to do next. In his vision-casting message for the start of the year, Kong Hee sets the direction for City Harvest Church for the next 12 months. First, be intentional in cultivating Christlikeness, that is to live every day with the mindset that we will glorify God, whether at work, on campu...
