City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

This Christmas season, Kong Hee brings a reminder of the hope and vision that Jesus came to give us. Vision is the ability to see and imagine how something will develop in the future; and as Prov 29:18 says “Without a vision, the people perish.” A vision does four things: one, it gives us a purpose for living; your life will have meaning. Two, a vision provides a road-map to guide us to our next s...

We all want to live a useful and productive life that glorifies God. But in this age where we are constantly bombarded by social media, bad news and urgent work, some of us are experiencing extreme stress. As Christmas approaches, Kong Hee, preaching out of Luke 2:10-14, lists three gifts that Jesus came to give us that set us free from stress and brings us constant happiness. One, joy, because th...

Believers will go through darkness, but they do not have to stay in it. This year may have filled you with anxiety and fear—how do you deal with your emotions? In this sermon, Aries Zulkarnain teaches that we should pray through our emotions, processing them in the presence of God, and not bypass them. Drawing from King David’s example when he was faced with fear and anxiety, Pastor Aries shows th...

How do we make sense of 2020? What is God telling us? In this sermon, Wu Yu Zhuang draws from Jeremiah 29:5, in which the prophet encouraged the children of Israel in captivity to prepare to stay in Babylon, and while they were waiting, to “build houses and dwell in them, plant gardens and eat their fruit.” Likewise, we find ourselves held captive by COVID-19. Yet, while we remain in this situatio...

For the last two millennia, each year ends in hope because of Christmas, which is the celebration of Christ. In this illuminating sermon, Kong Hee unpacks what Apostle John meant when he called Jesus “the Word”. Jesus Christ the living Word has made Himself synonymous with the written Word. If we want to know how to interpret the Bible and live out the truth, we just have to look at Jesus. He come...

Of all those we are called to honor in their lives, the most important Person is God. Kong Hee teaches us five ways to honor the Lord. First, we honor Him with our whole heart—our thoughts, affections, desires, visions and dreams, motives, concerns and morality. We honor Him with our body by fleeing sexual immorality and respecting the body that is the temple of the Holy Spirit. We honor God by en...

What does God require of us as believers? In this sermon, Bobby Chaw shows us the answer in Deuteronomy 10. We are to fear the Lord our God, walk in all His ways and love Him - to fear is to honor God. Honoring God begins in our heart and mind. In our prayer and communion with Him, we give Him honor and preference, constantly aware of His presence. Finally, we can honor God by blessing and praisin...

In this companion sermon to "Becoming A Person Of Truth And Love", Aries Zulkarnain teaches what it means to be a person who obeys God's command to love his neighbor as yourself. "Gospel neighboring" is three things: to show love to anyone unconditionally, to exercise humility and self-awareness and to demonstrate radical, sacrificial love. All this is only possible when w...

Continuing his sermon series on honor, Kong Hee teaches the importance of honoring those who seem unimportant or undeserving. Drawing from Jesus’ example, Pastor Kong shows how He showed honor to His disciples by washing their feet—a job for servants. When the disciples wanted to chase away the little children, Jesus publicly acknowledged and gave affection the little ones. Likewise, parents shoul...

Do you feel as if you have lost everything? In this sermon, Wu Yuzhuang declares that God wants to recover all that you have all. A sequel to his earlier sermon “Rejected By Man, Chosen By God”, Pastor Zhuang brings us back to Ziklag, a place given to David. The Amalekites came and took away the wives and children of David and his men. Likewise, the devil is coming after our gifts: our jobs, comfo...

Jesus was publicly shamed by His own siblings and doubted by His cousin, but He never spoke out against them. Instead, Jesus set the example for all Christians to follow: correct someone in private, honor them in public. In this second instalment of his series on honor, Kong Hee teaches us the importance of focusing on the problem and not the person, to release our anger, and to be Christlike, doi...

To honor someone is to always believe in, hope for and think the best of him (Phil 4:8). In this sermon, Kong Hee shows from Scripture the importance of having a spirit of honor; Jesus was an honoring person, even to the woman at the well. Pastor Kong highlights two groups of people we are specifically called to honor: our parents and our spouse. Listen to this sermon and start cultivating a spiri...

Bobby Chaw leads us in a study of the faithfulness of Moses. Moses remained faithful believing in God's promises, despite experiencing disappointments many times. He also endured multiple betrayals from the people closest fo him; still, he was faithful to obey God's command to love and forgive. Moses faced failure after failure, but against all odds, he faithfully obeyed the Lord and led...

In the post-truth world that we live in, Christians must first become people of God's truth and of God's love before being able to effectively speak the truth in love. Aries Zulkarnain's pivotal message on spiritual dexterity alerts believers to the stark difference between the manipulated "truth" of the world and God's truth. Like Abraham, who established altars ever...

Being rejected is part of life, but if it's left unchecked, feelings of rejection can cause someone to hurt those he loves most, or to run away from emotional connections. In this heartfelt sermon, Wu Yuzhuang explains that sometimes, rejection may arise from others' personal issues, or if they feel threatened by your success. Drawing from the example of King David, Pastor Zhuang shows u...

In this post-truth era, we live in constant uncertainty and skepticism because the truth is no longer simple in an age of “deep fake”. In this encouraging message by Bobby Chaw, we are reminded that in a truthless world, Jesus is the Truth, the Way and the Life (John 14:6). There are three things about God that we can count on: He is consistent, He has complete integrity, and He is faithful and de...

Has the convenient “new norm” of doing church online replaced your commitment and sense of community? In this thought-provoking sermon, Aries Zulkarnain challenges the church to beware letting technology become a substitute for God. When technology has distracted us to the point where we no longer examine it, it has power to enslave us. Being more tech-savvy will not make you a better Christian, e...

In the second part of this teaching, Kong Hee shows through Scripture how Jesus always spoke the truth but with great love to sinners like the woman at the well (Jn 4) and the adulterous woman (Jn 8), and by doing so, transformed their lives. The truth is important because it determines the outcome of our lives and our growth, but the evidence of our spiritual maturity is how well we balance truth...

Truth without love makes a person harsh. Love without truth makes one self-indulgent and self-pleasing. In this sermon, Kong Hee shows us how to maintain a healthy balance by following the example of Apostle John, who was transformed through Jesus’ discipleship from being a self-righteous “son of thunder” to being an “apostle of love”. We must be ready to defend our doctrines, but our discussions...

Bernard of Christian Cultural Center and discover how God is shaping our “new normal” through revival, creativity and innovation. Learn how to adopt “redemptive thinki...

In Numbers 22, there are four important lessons on how to respond to life’s challenges believers can learn from four characters. In this sermon by Bobby Chaw, we learn from Balak, king of Moab, that unlike unbelievers, we can be focused on God. From the prophet Balaam, we learn that we must not be double-minded, but be pure. God’s presence in the chapter reminds us to be calm, because He is active...

You are not on your own—God is with you. In this rousing sermon, Pastor Phil Pringle of C3 Church, Sydney reminds us of the God Factor. God wants to put “But God” faith in us—it’s what causes us to have victory over our enemies. Pastor Phil lists three situations in which we most need the God Factor: when we are fearful, when we get ourselves in a mess and when we are under pressure. The God Facto...

In this very first weekend edition of Coffee With Kong, Pastor Kong Hee takes the interviewer’s seat as he speaks to his guest, Pastor Bill Johnson of Bethel Church through video conferencing.

Learn how to invest in your future in this time of p...

In this season, being stuck in the middle, unable to fully resume life as we know it, can make Christians feel like their faith has been left hanging in mid-air. In his weekend message, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain comforts and inspires the listener to find purpose in “the middle”. There are two ways to relook at our situation. One, our loss of purpose is more important than our loss of provision. If w...

In this encouraging sermon, Pastor Kong Hee shows how, throughout Jesus’ life He managed crisis and change without ever losing His focus. As He entered new seasons of life, Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men. God uses seasons of change to test our moral qualities and find the cracks in our character. Jesus went through temptation in the desert, and clarified his va...
