City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

The start of 2020 is a time set your vision and goals toward a more Christlike character. In this Sermon, Pastor Bobby Chaw that when we abide in Christ, we will display His character, which is marked by the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Learn how to experience John 15:4-5: abide in His word, and let God prune the distractions of life so that you can bear more fruit for Him.

In this final sermon of the year, Pastor Wu YuZhuang delivers a beautiful message that God's love for us is not based on our fruitfulness or productiveness. Preaching out of the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel 1, Pastor Zhuang shows that unlike Sarah, Rebecca and Rachel who were also barren, Hannah did not take matters into her own hands. Discover how the four things Hannah did that caused God to...

This Christmas, let us be reminded that Jesus Christ is the light of the world. 2,000 years ago, God sent His Son to the world to dispel the darkness and light up our lives. Today, are you struggling with sickness beyond hope? Jesus has come to dispel the darkness of sickness because in Him, there is hope for the future. Are you battling depression and despair? Jesus has come to dispel the darknes...

Christmas marks the birth of Jesus, who came from eternity into time because of God's great love for man. In this Yuletide message, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain presents two reasons why Jesus came: one, He came so that every bad beginning can be turned into a beautiful ending. Two, He came to bring us out of darkness into His marvelous light. Be encouraged by two powerful testimonies of church mem...

It’s Christmas time and the best way to celebrate Christmas is to go back to the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. When the angel announced God’s plan of salvation to Mary, she was just a young girl, but one who wanted to serve God and play a part in His plan.  At some point in our lives, we have all asked the following questions: “Who am I? What am I here for? What is my destiny” We...

Advent, which means "coming" in Latin, is the period leading up to Christmas. It heralds "Jesus is coming!" In his sermon, Pastor Bobby Chaw explains that Advent is a time of hope and expectation: it began in darkness but ended in light. As John 1:5 says, "The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it." Listen to this sermon and be encouraged b...

In Genesis 14, Abraham met with Melchizedek, the king of Salem and the priest of God Most High. Melchizedek had communion with Abraham and made a covenant with him. This covenant is known as the blessings of Abraham and we, as believers, can partake in these same blessings. We too, can have the blessings of Elevation, the blessings of Possession, and the blessings of Dominion.  After that encounte...

As we draw near to Christmas and prepare to invite our friends to church, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain highlights Jesus' strategy to win the lost: through building personal relationships. Drawing examples from the Bible, such as Jesus dining at Zaccheus' house and eating with prostitutes and tax collectors, Pastor Aries encourages us to "turn our dining table into our mission field"...

The Bible talks about a time when Abraham met with Melchizedek, King of Salem and high priest of God. Melchizedek was a type and a foreshadow of Christ. After they partook of communion, Melchizedek blessed Abraham.  Galatians 3:29 says that we are Christ’s, and Abraham’s seed—heirs according to the promise. We share in the blessings of Abraham.  There are three parts to this blessing: the blessing...

Forgiveness is a mark of the Christian life. It is not always easy, but it is something that all believers must learn to embrace. Why? Because God is forgiveness and it is His nature. Many people are locked in an emotional prison simply because they are unable to let go of a wrong or an offence that was done towards them. Do you have a bitter memory from the past that is robbing you of happiness t...

The children of Israel complained twice to Moses when there was no water on their journey to the Promised Land. The first time was the original generation that Moses had led out of Egypt; the second time, the complainants were the next generation. This generation demanded to understand why they were doing what they were doing: travelling through the desert with no water to drink. Likewise, as a mo...

As believers, if we don’t have a revelation of the extent to which Jesus has gone to save us, we will be bombarded by condemnation again and again. Satan wants us to live in constant guilt and unworthiness in God’s presence; because He knows that if we have no confidence, we will have no faith.  But thank God for Christ’s redemptive work on the cross! By faith, when we identify with Christ in His...

In this continuation of his message on Christian maturity, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain addresses what it means to be fully developed as adults in the faith, within and without (Eph 4:10-13). Drawing from the example of the prophet Ahitophel, Pastor Aries teaches about the perils of not guarding one’s heart - if one fails to deal with the issues of the heart, they can resurface and cause great grief. L...

Pressure is the nature of life. With the right amount of pressure, we can be challenged and motivated to achieve our potential in life. Stress, on the other hand, is a negative internal reaction that arises when the demand is too excessive for us to handle. Stress is destructive and can affect our mental and physical state aversely. How do we deal with worry and anxiety? How do we keep the stress...

The first time Jesus revealed His glory was at the wedding of Cana (John 2) where He performed His first miracle: turning water into wine. From this passage, Pastor Wu Yu Zhuang preaches a revelatory message about how Jesus' love for us compels Him to move the timetable forward or back when we ask, if we turn to Him, have faith in Him and obey Him. Wine is often associated with joy—believers...

When the external pressure gets too much for us to handle, we can sometimes experience an emotional breakdown. If we do not have emotional resilience, we will easily reach the limits of our patience and grace. Do you struggle with giving and receiving love? Are you easily short fused and find yourself running out of patience most of the time? If your answer is yes, then it may be time to enlarge y...

In this message, Bobby Chaw shares three things that assures believers of the Holy Spirit's presence in their lives. He is the seal that is placed upon a person when He believes in Jesus Christ—a seal that assures us of the protection of the most high God. The Holy Spirit is also the pledge, a guarantee that God will keep His promises. And finally the Holy Spirit, as it says in Romans 8:16, &...

The fourth dimension is the realm of the Holy Spirit. It is the invisible, spiritual realm of faith with the power to create and bring change. No matter what we are going through today, when we step into the fourth dimension, just as how the Holy Spirit brought clarity and purpose to the disciples on the Day of Pentecost, He is able to bring calm to any chaos and creative solutions to any problem....

God's goal for believers and for the church is that they grow into spiritual maturity. Preaching out of Ephesians, Aries Zulkarnain explains that to be mature is to be fully developed inside and out, and to be fully alive like Jesus Christ.  This requires the believer to be balanced—able to embrace the spiritual and the earthly simultaneously. Balance allows a Christian to expect a miracle fr...

Did you know that the new heaven and new earth does not refer to a completely new universe? It is the same current heaven and earth—purified and renewed, with no more sin and wickedness. So what we do here on earth in this lifetime has important bearings on our eternal life. All of this present life is a preparation for our future ministry in glory. With that in mind, we need to ask ourselves an a...

In this third instalment of his series on the Holy Spirit, Bobby Chaw explains what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit. It is when the presence and power of the Holy Spirit override a person's normal abilities and actions and miracles happen. Why is this then not the norm? Because believers lack the fullness of the Spirit; it is only when we are totally influenced and dominated by the...

Have you ever wondered what the New Jerusalem—where we will dwell in eternity—would be like? Isaiah 60 tells us that life in the Holy City will not be unfamiliar to us because whatever is here on earth now (commerce, creativity, culture, etc.) will be redeemed, restored, repaired and renewed for God’s ultimate purpose and glory! So our life here on earth is a preparation for our glorious future mi...

At CHC's celebration of its 30 years of ministry, Kong Hee preaches that as the church steps into maturity, its focus must be what the Westminster Catechism declares: "The chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever." The glory of God is manifested in Presence, Power and Character: when the presence of God is ushered in, when the power of God is displayed, and when t...

Meditation is a very important aspect of prayer. When we meditate on God’s Word, our prayer time moves from a 1-way to a 2-way communication, with God speaking to us through His Word. What is meditation and how is it done in the Christian context? Meditation is spending time chewing on the Word, thinking about it and muttering it with our mouth over and over again—until it eventually becomes a par...

In this message before CHC's 30th anniversary, Aries Zulkarnain examines the value of brokenness. The Japanese art of kintsugi involves mending a broken vessel with lacquer, and covering the cracks with 24K gold powder. The finished product is more beautiful than the original "perfect" one. So it is with the Christian: God doesn't lose interest in you when you're broken; t...
