City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

How can we have hope, in the midst of life’s trials and tribulations? Phil Pringle breaks down Roman 8:28 to show us that God doesn’t promise us that the Christian life will be a bed of roses. Rather, despite the circumstances, we can have hope that “all things work together for good”. God has a destiny for every believer, but the mind is the battlefield for this destiny. What is our defense? Put...

The key is in the Holy Spirit. He is our Helper. Find out how the Holy Spirit can help you to tide through the storm, give you hope and energize you in the midst of your crisis, and how you can emerge...

Religion is not synonymous with spirituality: just because you behave like a spiritual person doesn't mean you really are one. In this thought-provoking sermon, Aries Zulkarnain shows how Jesus set the perfect example for growing up in spirituality. The Lord grew in His spirituality by aligning with God in all His decisions; by agreeing with the Father in His words and by subjecting Himself t...

The Bible says that God has already “blessed us with every spiritual blessing,” and that includes the supernatural power for signs and wonders. It is available to us because Jesus has given us “the keys of the kingdom (Matt 16:19). What are the keys and how do we apply them? Kong Hee takes us through the journey of discovering our identity in the Word of God and unlocking our destiny in Christ to...

If you study the new testament, God's purpose is not to get us to heaven... It is to get heaven down to us! In fact, the final scene in the Book of Revelation talks about the “New Jerusalem” coming down to a “new earth”. Could this be the reason why Jesus taught us to pray, "Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven"? God’s kingdom is essentially the felt real...

As believers of Christ, we all have access to the anointing and the power of the Holy Spirit. But what exactly does the anointing do for us? What distinguishes an anointed believer from one without the anointing of God? Pastor Kong Hee teaches about the anointing of the Holy Spirit that imparts the tangible presence of God, the burden-removing and yoke-destroying power of God, and the ability to l...

God will sift a Christian before He shifts him into position for His call. In this sermon, Derek Dunn, senior pastor of City Harvest Church US in Orange County, explains the "wilderness" period that every believer will encounter in his life. It is a time to renew one's mind—one can only level up when one's thinking changes, then one can come up to a new level of authority and a...

Bobby Chaw continues his study of Numbers in this sermon, which looks at the story of Moses and his siblings Aaron, the high priest, and Miriam, a prophetess in Numbers 12. His older brother and sister began to compare themselves to their little brother, who had a special calling from the Lord and was the one the Israelites saw as their leader. Envy downplays everything that is positive about ones...

The Bible says that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Ps 91:1-2). A secret place experience is where you can spend time in His presence, free from interruption to connect heart to heart with Him. Do you have a secret place with the God? Find out how to discover your secret place and what experiences await you when you take time to ente...

There are times in every Christian's life when he hits the brick wall called "I don't know what to do anymore". In this sermon, Aries Zulkarnain delves into the difficult subject of what to do when you don't seem to be getting anywhere with a problem; when breakthrough eludes you despite all the fasting and praying you have done. Zulkarnain offers three truths to encourage...

What if all you had in your hand was an ox goad—a piece of wood used by farmers to guide their herds of oxen? That’s all young farmer Shamgar had. Yet he possessed the qualities that qualified him for the anointing of God, and God transformed him into a warrior who killed 600 enemies with that piece of wood. In this first Emerge Conference 2018 sermon, Wu Yuzhuang shares the five qualities Shamgar...

Are you willing to be a Risker for God? In this second sermon of Emerge Conference 2018, Bobby Chaw reminds Christians that they are “a chosen generation” (1 Pet 2:9), carefully selected by God and made holy. Therefore, we are to stay pure and protect our holiness so that we can fulfil God’s calling in our lifetime, and do mighty exploits for Him. An example of a Risker is William Tyndale, a Bible...

If you don’t define who you are, someone else will define it for you (Edwin Louis Cole). In this final Emerge Conference 2018 sermon, Aries Zulkarnain drives home the importance of knowing one’s identity which comes from God and can be found in His Word, not in the world. An intimate relationship with God is both the beginning of our identity and the ultimate end of our destiny. To take hold of ou...

God has chosen us and set us apart from our mother’s womb, with a designated purpose for each one of us. We are the reason and the subject of His passion! People with a purpose are unstoppable, and the enemy knows that. He will try everything to keep us from fulfilling our destiny in Christ. How do we guard and grow our passion for Jesus? Sun Ho shares what it takes to stay passionate and set ours...

Our God is a transgenerational God—He rules and reigns over generations that come after us. In this sermon, Aries Zulkarnain establishes the important roles that parents and children have to play in ensuring that faith and anointing are carried down from generation to generation. The greatness of a family, a church, a culture is determined by longevity, sustainability and continuity. Zulkarnain li...

God wants to see each generation grow from strength to strength, faith to faith and glory to glory. But one of the biggest challenges to revival is known as the Second Generation Syndrome. This generation did not face the same challenges as their forefathers, and they run the risk of complacency and apathy. How do we overcome this syndrome and raise the next generation to be zealous for God and co...

We're at the halfway point of 2018—how can we move forward wisely and end the year strong? Aries Zulkarnain delivers a practical lesson in setting priorities in this sermon. When we are under pressure we tend to focus on what is urgent but not what is important. Time, money and energy become priorities, when they should be the resources we use to grow our lives. Drawing from the Parable of th...

God wants to bless us and anoint us to lead successful lives. But do we have the inner capacity to receive, contain, withstand and produce all that God wants to give us? Do we have the capability to deal with issues in life that come our way? Kong Hee takes us through five keys to increasing our inner capacity and seeing increase and multiplication in our lives.

"Today, if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts." (Heb 3:15) In this sermon, Bobby Chaw challenges the believer to respond wholeheartedly to God when the Word convicts him. Many believers have "a saved heart but a pagan mind", just like the children of Israel who were physically away from Egypt but kept their old, defeatist thinking. The only way to grow up as a Chri...

The goal of worship is to be transformed into the image of the One who is being worshipped. Just as Jesus was transformed on the Mount of Transfiguration after spending time with His heavenly Father, we too can take on the nature and likeness of God as we spend time in His presence, permeated in His fragrance. Find out what it takes to experience this transformational worship.

You believe God is sovereign, but do you sometimes think He gets the little things mixed up? Paul Scanlon preaches this eye-opening message based out of Genesis 48:8-20, where Jacob gives the firstborn’s blessing to Joseph’s second-born, Ephraim. Scanlon teaches that it is a mistake to think you need deliverance before you can be fruitful. It is when you are fruitful that your deliverance comes.

A paradigm is a distinct way of thinking or viewing life in an entire community or generation. There is a set of paradigms that are distinctive to City Harvest Church and define who we are as a church. Having weathered many storms over three decades, City Harvest has withstood numerous trials and testing and come forth refined and strengthen by the grace of God. Find out what are the spiritual val...

Grumbling can rob you of your destiny and cause you to lose your faith. Bobby Chaw draws from Numbers 11 to preach this compelling message about the dangers of being a complainer. The children of Israel let grumbling spread among them, and their complaints aroused the anger of the Lord. How do we stop the destructive nature of grumbling? Through meditating on the Word of God day and night.

How does one cope with life’s pressures and stress? By leaning on the wisdom of God to know what to do. If the whole universe is framed by the Word of God, then no matter what situation you are in right now, the Word of God has a creative solution for you! Kong Hee shares how he keeps his peace of mind and walk with God intact in the face of crisis.

Spiritual disciplines get us to the place where divine change can happen. In his message, Bobby Chaw teaches that two elements work together toward this transformation: God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility. He draws from Numbers 10 to discuss four key spiritual disciplines that help Christians finish their race well.
