City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

Erwin McManus, lead pastor of Mosaic Church in LA, returns with a powerful message gleaned from the four lepers in 2 Kings 7, who were so desperate in the famine that they set out for the enemy land of the Arameans. There are four lessons to be learned: one, we need to find courage in desperation, to move forward realizing we have nothing to lose but everything to gain. Two, the victory that only...

How do you respond to crisis? In this sermon based on Numbers 21 Bobby Chaw encourages you to respond in faith and respond with praise. The first generation of the children of Israel allowed songs of praise to leave their lips and replaced them with complaints—they failed to reach their Promised Land. David, on the other hand, wrote Psalms 16 and 34 during difficult periods of his life, singing pr...

In this Father’s Day message, Aries Zulkarnain celebrates fathers and our Heavenly Father. The Bible exhorts us to honor our father and mother, that we may live long in the land the Lord is giving us. When we honor our father, we are blessed and we gain access to his gifts. Sharing a powerful personal lesson he gained watching his own father handle a big business crisis, Pastor Aries shows how a f...

In this fourth and final sermon of this series, Pastor Kong Hee teaches the four dimensions of Christ’s love out of 1 Corinthians 13:7. First, love always protects: it doesn’t broadcast the problems of others, or criticize other in public. Love safeguards a person’s dignity and reputation. Second, love always trusts: it constantly believes the best of others, it never gossips, and love is never ra...

Why does God allow so much suffering? What will life be like after COVID-19? These are questions we have no answers to, and situations beyond our control. In this powerful and personal message, Sun Ho encourages the listener to draw closer to God than ever. God uses challenges to make us stronger, purer and more dependent on Him; all that we endure on Earth is preparation for our life in eternity....

In this Pentecost Sunday message, Pastor Bobby Chaw delivers a powerful reminder about the Holy Spirit who was promised to every believer by Jesus in John 14:16-18, that He will abide with us forever. Drawing from Abraham's example in Genesis 18, there are four ways to respond to the Holy Spirit. First, we must be sensitive to His presence and hear His voice—it speaks louder than the anxiety...

In this third part of his series on the love of Jesus based on 1 Cor 13, Pastor Kong Hee shows us how Jesus did not respond to the darkness of other people in a typical way. First of all, love is not easily angered. Jesus did get angry but he never lost control of Himself. We must be good-natured like Jesus, asking God for unlimited patience. Second, love keeps no record of wrongs. Being unforgivi...

In this second instalment of this series on the love of Jesus, Pastor Kong Hee preaches on the five characteristics that love is not (1 Cor 13:4-5). Love does not envy. When we are resentful, jealous, competitive, we kill love. Instead, learn to celebrate the victories of others. Love does not boast. Jesus did not seek recognition for His works; His goal was to glorify the Father alone. Love is no...

On Mother's Day weekend, Pastor Kong Hee fittingly preaches on the love of Jesus. Of all virtues, love is the most important—we are called to live a life filled with love (Eph 5:2). 1 Cor 13:4 says "Love is patient, love is kind". Pastor Kong teaches that without these two things—one passive, the other active—there is no love. Patience is the capacity to accept delays, problems and...

Guest preacher Pastor Erwin McManus of Mosaic Church in Los Angeles delivers a sermon that encourages the Church to do three things. One, stay unique: do not sacrifice your God-given uniqueness to be accepted by others; life a life of intention, not obligation. Two, stay optimistic: never give up! Focus on what is good, and call each other to hope and joy. God is waiting for you, His creative agen...

Our world is filled with uncertainties and disruptions, and the future may look scary. But God promises His people a future and a hope (Jer 29:11). Preaching out  of the Book of Jeremiah the prophet, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain encourages the church with a powerful message about living by faith and not by sight, so that we are prepared for whatever the future brings. Jeremiah received two visions from...

Jesus is our merciful and faithful High Priest who represents us fully before God—He is able to sympathize with all that we go through: hunger, injustice, tiredness, and every temptation. In this sermon, Pastor Bobby Chaw talks about how Jesus responds to our cry for help—boethéo—by running to us and upholding us so we don't sink. He is full of compassion and understanding. When we face diffi...

When Jesus went to the cross, He saved us not only from sin and guilt but also from Satan and all his evil powers. In this Easter message, Pastor Kong Hee explains what Jesus' death and resurrection means for you, the believer. On the cross, our sins are forgiven, and God in Christ defeated the kingdom of darkness. While the victory has already been won, we have not yet seen and experienced t...

As we approach Easter, Pastor Kong Hee draws us into a study of significance of the cross in this sermon. To understand the cross, we must understand Who God is: He is holy, He is love and He is truth. God loves man, and God is holy, but man suffers from “total depravity”, and holiness cannot coexist with sin. So how could God solve this divine dilemma of squaring His wrath with His love for manki...

In the third installment of this teaching, Pastor Kong Hee brings us a panoramic view of Jesus’ prayer life in five aspects. Jesus prayed in solitude: his constant connection through pray to the Father gave Him the spiritual intelligence to do the right thing. Jesus encountered God when He prayed: every supernatural, life-transforming encounter is a direct result of prayer. Jesus prayed before eve...

In this follow-up sermon to his message on the unforced rhythms of grace, where Christians exchange their burdens for the rest of God, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain explores the act of stepping into the rhythms of grace, for we are saved by grace not works. This is the art of waiting on the Lord until your soul finds rest in Him; then blessings, deliverance, salvation come. But waiting is not a mindless...

This season of Lent, it's time to focus on Jesus and to be reminded that He came to take your burden away and to give you rest. In this encouraging sermon, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain takes us through a study of what resting in God truly means: looking to Jesus when the world is filled with anxiety, as it is during the current COVID-19 outbreak; and understanding that faith is not a reward-based...

In this final instalment of his teaching on the prayer life of Jesus, Pastor Kong Hee covers three aspects: first, it is crucial to confess and seek forgiveness during prayers if we have sinned. Next, we must cry out to God and keep asking, petitioning, according to God’s word until we have what we pray for. Finally, when we pray, we adore Jesus with a spirit of thanksgiving. When we can do this w...

In this next instalment of his series on the prayer life of Jesus, Pastor Kong Hee takes us through David's meditation on God and four things that it did for him. It kept David pure from sin, it saved him from depression, it preserved his physical health and, very importantly, it brought him into conversation with God. It is only when we are deep in conversation and fellowship with the Lord t...

Jesus prayed unceasingly and in every circumstance—He poured his heart out to God, often with hot tears and loud crying. Through prayer, Jesus stayed connected to the Father and remained in the Spirit. In this powerful message, Pastor Kong Hee teaches the secret to praying as great men like Martin Luther and Dr Yonggi Cho do: by meditating on the Word of God. Showing how the Lord's Prayer is...

Pastor Bobby Chaw teaches us how to pray at a time when things seem hopeless, by drawing from King David's prayer in Psalm 3. David was at his lowest point, running away from his son Absalom who wanted to kill him. Pastor Bobby shows us four things about David here: he was completely honest with God about his sorrows and fears; he turned his focus entirely on God and remembered that God was h...

Building upon his first message on following Jesus, Kong Hee teaches that there is a cost to following Christ—it is not an easy thing. As Jesus said in Luke 9:23, we are firstly to deny ourselves, and then to follow Him. Denying oneself is to not give in to unrighteous cravings. Pastor Kong details how to resist and repudiate self-gratification, self-vindication and self-exaltation like Jesus did...

In his first sermon of 2020, Kong Hee sets the direction for the year with a sermon about the central theme of the New Testament: to follow Jesus. God's ultimate desire is that we imitate Jesus, and become like Him in every dimension of our lives. Pastor Kong shows through Scripture how holiness is synonymous with Christlikeness, and that Christlikeness is the nine fruit of the Spirit. These...

What did Jesus mean by faith as small as a mustard seed? In this sermon, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain challenges the believer to achieve the bare minimum: to believe and act on his faith. Often we forget that the presence of a storm does not mean the absence of Jesus—we are stumbled by our unbelief. What stands in the way of our ability to believe God? Often it is the lack of forgiveness, which is not...

When the Ark was stolen from the Israelites, it took 20 years before King David sought after it, because he hungered for what was God’s. In this powerful message, Pastor Wu Yuzhuang challenges us to ponder if the ark has been stolen from our lives and if we even notice that it’s gone. Listen and be encouraged to seek God’s manifested presence above every power, provision and miracle.
