City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

Prayer does not begin with our desire for God. It begins with God’s desire for us—He has been waiting for us from eternity. In this sermon, Pastor Kong Hee shows how prayer develops like love: we move from mental prayer, to prayer in the Spirit, and finally to contemplative prayer.

Jesus loves to pray—and He prayed often: at His baptism, before His ministry began, early in the morning, late at night, when facing major decisions, on the cross—and even today in heaven, Jesus is still praying. In this sermon, Pastor Kong Hee unpacks five powerful benefits of prayer.

In this new year, God wants to draw us back to a childlike obedience and pure faith in Him, one that is marked by humility, holiness, and personal responsibility towards sin. As believers, we are to guard the faith of others by not being a stumbling block in our lifestyle, dealing radically with outward sins and allowing God to transform our inward attitudes. Only then can we achieve an obedience...

As we step into a new year filled, Jesus invites us to remain rooted in what truly gives life. May we abide in Him through every season of life—not just in good times, but even through challenges and pruning. When we learn to abide in His Word, abide in His Body (the church community), and abide in His Spirit, we will bear lasting fruit through an intimate, enduring relationship with Christ.

When Jesus teaches on prayer in Luke 11, He describes three progressive movements in prayer: asking, seeking, and knocking. Each step takes us into an ever-deepening relationship with God. Asking in prayer is likened to entering the Outer Court of the tabernacle. Seeking God is entering the Holy Place. Knocking is coming into the Holy of Holies—coming into union with God. Pastor Kong Hee encourage...

God is searching for those who look to Him with expectancy, hope, and a willingness to wait upon His promises. When we surrender fully to Him, we are open to what God wants to do even in the ordinary moments of life. To live God-expectant is to wake up each morning believing that God is present, active, and speaking in our daily routines. This year, let us lean forward with faith—seeking God, list...

As we step into a brand new year, we want to cultivate a strong and healthy spirituality that will form the foundation for godly wisdom. The nature of wisdom is that it is accessible—God generously gives wisdom to those who humbly ask Him in prayer. The attainment of wisdom is not a quest but a response: to hear and obey God’s Word. Let us therefore begin this year with intentional prayer and devo...

The prophet Isaiah declared, “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned." Pastor Kong Hee shares that Christmas is God sending his Son Jesus to bring light into our darkness, to give us a better life, filled with love, joy, peace and a purpose for living.

In this sermon, Pastor Kong Hee shares how the Gospel of John presents the Christmas story in its opening chapter, revealing three key truths about Jesus: He is Light, Life, and Love.

In this Advent message, we are reminded that God’s light breaks into our deepest darkness—instantly dispelling fear and renewing hope. Seasons of unexpected and conflicted surprises invite us to respond to our own darkness with faith and humility, trusting God even when the path is unclear. And instead of facing our struggles alone, we are called to step out of isolation and enter the community of...

In A Failure of Nerve , Dr Edwin Friedman reminds us that “in an anxious world, what is most needed are non-anxious leaders.” Pastor Kong Hee challenges us to walk in the way of Jesus by embracing His self-differentiation and non-anxious presence through five practices: 1) slow-down spirituality, 2) Sabbath rest, 3) silence and solitude, 4) devotional love, and 5) detachment.

Biblical lament is pouring out our hearts to God, laying before Him all our pains and sorrows, trusting in His unfailing love, and knowing that He listens and answers. In this sermon, Pastor Bobby Chaw highlights four key elements that make up biblical lament.

When you walk through dry or weary seasons, remember: God still meets you at the altar. Rebuilding your altar is the path through every wilderness. Pastor Bobby Chaw reminds us that the altar requires three things — making communion with God a PRIORITY, allowing His Word to bring PURITY, and offering your life in SURRENDER. The fire of the Spirit falls where there is a sacrifice.

In this final instalment of The Emblems of the Holy Spirit series, Pastor Kong Hee shares about the Fire of the Holy Spirit—His presence, purity, power, passion, and prompting. The fire of the Spirit rekindles our hearts, setting them ablaze and alive once more.

Is it God’s will to heal? When we read the four Gospels, we see that in all His miracles, Jesus ministered with great power and authority. As the sick cooperated in faith and acted on His word—doing what they could not do before—“as many as touched Him were made whole” (Mark 6:56). The presence of Jesus is a healing presence; the nature of Jesus is a healing nature!

In this paper presentation, Pastor Kong Hee shares on “simultaneous glossolalia” (speaking in tongues), a hallmark of the Pentecostal experience that connects believers to the life and vitality of the apostolic church in the Book of Acts. Why abandon a practice that has served the movement so well? Rather than diminish it, Pastor Kong Hee proposes that Pentecostals should seek to recover and deepe...

Dr. John Avanzini shares a faith-stirring word that every promise of God in Christ is “yes and amen”. When God calls, He also provides. Even when the promise feels out of reach, your “donkey”—God’s provision—will be there right when you need it. Bro John reminds us that faith should not be limited by circumstances or defined by need or debt. Instead, we are to speak God’s Word over every situation...

In Numbers 16, Israel faced God’s judgment for their rebellion—a deadly plague had begun, and 14,700 people died. God had to deal with their sin, but He raised up Moses and Aaron—faithful intercessors—to stand in the gap. Aaron, the high priest, ran straight into danger, “standing between the living and the dead,” and the plague stopped. This Special Offering weekend, Pastor Kong Hee shares the fi...

During a severe drought, God sent the prophet Elijah to a poor widow in Zarephath (1 Kings 17), who was down to her last meal. As she gave to Elijah in faith, her little became much, and there was food every day for Elijah, herself, and her family.  In this sharing, Pastor Kong Hee gives a “report card” on Indonesia, "Church Without Walls", and our Jurong West campus. Like the widow with...

In Genesis 14, Abraham encountered Melchizedek, the king of righteousness and peace, who blessed him in the name of God Most High. In gratitude, Abraham gave a tithe of all. This moment foreshadows Jesus, our Great High Priest, who blesses us so we can bless others. As we receive and give, God’s love and provision flow through us, spreading His goodness to the nations. In this sharing, Pastor Kong...

In this sermon, Pastor Kong Hee encourages the graduating class of School of Theology 2025 that personal revival is not just for a season, but for a lifetime. Jesus warns us to “take heed how you hear”—because what and how we hear determine how much we receive. Like Ezekiel, who declared, “As He spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet” (Ezek. 2:2), we too must take heed how we hear...

The miracle of feeding the 5,000—with only five loaves and two fish—shows us that a little always becomes much in the Master’s hands. Just as Jesus BLESSED, BROKE, and GAVE—likewise, Jesus, the Bread of Life, is blessing, breaking, and giving us to the nations. In this first "annual report," Pastor Kong Hee shares how God is multiplying our lives to impact the Philippines.

In Part 6 of The Emblems of the Holy Spirit series, Pastor Kong Hee teaches on the Wind of the Spirit. The higher we go, the stronger the wind blows. He shares how the four winds reveal the fourfold work of the Spirit: the east wind of discipline, the west wind of deliverance, the north wind of awakening, and the south wind of transformation. God uses every wind to bring revival into our lives.

In Part 5 of The Emblems of the Holy Spirit series, Pastor Kong Hee shares on the anointing of the Holy Spirit. If oil is the emblem, the anointing is the substance—the real work of God within us, transforming our hearts and lives. We need two kinds of anointing: the anointing within and the anointing upon—and both come through the Holy Spirit.
