City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

In his third installment on The Easy Yoke, Kong Hee teaches from 1 Cor 12:4 that believers are given different gifts, and these gifts are meant for serving others. Pastor Kong presents three important aspects of God-given gifts. One, the gifts bring unity among believers. We can only serve out of our gifts with the support and gifts of other believers. Two, the gifts develop Christlikeness. Some c...

In life there will be times we find ourselves in the wilderness. In this empowering message, Pastor Bobby Chaw reminds listeners that Jesus returned from the wilderness in the power of the Holy Spirit (Luke 4) and even though the children of Israel traversed the desert for 40 years, that was the time they experienced the presence of God daily (Numbers 1). A wilderness experience evokes two things:...

To anoint is to rub with oil—oil is the symbol of the power of the Holy Spirit. When a believer is anointed, he is marked, authorised, appointed and empowered by the Holy Spirit of fulfil a purpose—he can operate beyond natural gifts and talents. One can be righteous and holy, and yet not be anointed. In this powerful message, Pastor Wu Yuzhuang delves into two key aspects of the anointing: first,...

In this second part of his teaching on serving, Pastor Kong Hee unpacks what it means to be the Bride of Christ that Ephesians 5:21-23 speaks of, and the significance of that when it comes to serving God. Christians have not been saved and transformed by Jesus’ work on the cross so that they can serve God, but so that they can enjoy deep intimacy and union with Him. When Jesus returns, that is whe...

In Matthew 11:28, Jesus promises the weary and burdened that He will give them rest. Serving the Lord should be a joyful experience, because His burden is easy and His yoke is light. In this message, Pastor Kong Hee explains what the easy yoke really is: it is having the right reason and attitude to serving. It is when we have wrong motives for serving that serving becomes hard. Don’t serve to pro...

In this powerful message, special speaker Prof Doug Petersen teaches that God intervenes in the routine of daily life and uses the ordinary to do the impossible. A believer can experience the intervention of God in three ways: through divine guidance, often a little thing that is the leading of the Lord; through divine coincidence, when two things happen that don’t seem related, but are; and final...

Are you facing a giant—financial troubles? Health issues? Relationship problems?—in your life right now? Listen to this message and be encouraged. Teaching from the familiar story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, special speaker Prof Doug Petersen dissects the story to highlight details spelled out in the Bible that reveal exactly how a shepherd boy with a slingshot successfully destroyed the...

“What is the appropriate level of intimacy before marriage?” “What does Matthew 5:31 mean where it says, ‘Whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery?’” “Should there only be one disciplinarian in the family?” In this first Q&A session for CHC’s inaugural CityFamilies (CFAM) Conference with Pastors Kong Hee and Sun Ho, these and other questions are answered truthfully in love. 

“I’m over 40 and not in a relationship—am I meant to be single?” “How much sex should a married couple have?” “Can a married person have a best friend of the opposite sex?” “What if my child becomes rebellious and leaves home?” Listen to this second CFAM Conference Q&A session with Pastors Kong Hee and Sun Ho to find out what honest, Bible-based answers they offer.

What makes for a happy, thriving family? God Himself models for us the cycle of elements that a Christian family is meant to enter. In this sermon, Pastor Kong Hee takes us through these four elements, starting with covenant love. Just as God’s love for us is covenantal and not transactional, family members enter a covenant to love one another, even if their needs are not met. Two, grace is the at...

Does it feel like God is taking a really long time to fulfil the promise He has given you? Be encouraged by this sermon by Pastor Lin Jun Xian. Some of God’s promises come to pass immediately, most take longer than we like—there is a process in the promise. When we go through this challenge of waiting, the evil one tries to break our relationship with God and His promises. Pastor Jun Xian shares t...

Koinonia means communion, partnership or joint participation. In this sermon, Pastor Bobby Chaw unpacks what koinonia or fellowship in the Holy Spirit is: it is having everything in common with the Holy Spirit and the body of the Church. Where there is koinonia, there is unity and peace. Pastor Bobby teaches there are three things that we share as believers: one, we have a common inheritance and t...

Faith may take you far in your quest with God, but love is what sustains you in your journey with Him. In this sermon, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain teaches us that as we mature in our walk, we may have to endure tests of love, just as Abraham did when God instructed him to sacrifice his son Isaac. God never gave a reason why, but Abraham reasoned that the Lord could raise his son from the dead. How can...

What does it mean to be on fire for God? An on-fire Christian is one who is consumed with zeal for God and His house. Fire spreads and sets everything it touches ablaze. In this message, Pastor Wu Yuzhuang teaches two ways to catch the fire of God. One, stay close to the fire. Having time alone with God is important, but it is equally crucial to be in the body of Christ to stay on fire. Two, watch...

Do you feel discouraged by the bad things that have happened in your life? Are you emotionally trapped by the pain of the past? In this encouraging sermon, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain reminds us to surrender our pain to God, for He will use our past failures as ingredients for our future success. Teaching from Joel 2, Pastor Aries teaches that God wants to bring restoration to us in two areas: first,...

On this Father’s Day weekend, Ps Bobby Chaw exhorts all fathers to observe four ways in which they can bless their children. The first is by teaching them to see life through the Father’s eyes; that no matter what life throws at us, we can still bring forth the fruit of the Spirit because God is always working behind the scenes. Secondly, fathers can teach their children to live out the reality of...

The 40th day after Easter, Jesus ascended into heaven—His final act on earth. In this sermon, Pastor Wu Yuzhuang presents three reasons why the ascension of Jesus Christ is so important: one, it marks the completion of His earthly work for us. He came from the Father, and He returned to the Father, the first time Man returned to the presence of God since Adam was banished from the Garden of Eden....

The key to a victorious life for every Christian is to know (Gr. ginosko) the Holy Spirit. In this bold message, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain exhorts the believer to repent and come into an intimate, experiential knowledge of the Holy Spirit. Like the 120 disciples on Pentecost, our ministry is most effective when it comes out of our relationship with the Holy Spirit. Pastor Aries spells two ways to ha...

In this encouraging Mother’s Day message, Pastor Kong Hee draws four characteristics of a godly mother from the unlikely example of Bathsheba. Despite the abuse and tragedies she endured because of King David (2 Samuel 11), Bathsheba clung on to God and kept her consecration, resulting in her being listed in the genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:6). Pastor Kong teaches four things a godly mother does:...

All throughout the Gospels, we are called to repentance. Matt 5:4 says that blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Mourning is repentance that brings a great heavenly joy. What is repentance? It is godly sorrow, a change of mind and a change of direction from the sin that the Holy Spirit convicts us of. The Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15) illustrates how we must neither co...

The biggest war we fight today is the one within: many of us battle anxiety and depression. What we need is the peace of the Holy Spirit, to be calm in the midst of trouble. In this sermon, Pastor Bobby Chaw teaches two ways to attain this peace. One, we must put on the mind of the Holy Spirit, and we do so by going to the Bible which is His word. When we have the mind of the Holy Spirit, we exper...

In this Easter message, Pastor Kong Hee teaches that although we are all born into sin and pain, on Calvary, Jesus did a miracle and turned our minus into a plus.  Humans have no ability to stop sinning, and the penalty for sin is eternal death. The cross is the only way mankind can be saved—the Father sent Jesus to be our substitute, and He was pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniq...

In this message, Pastor Kong Hee teaches that the Holy Spirit is love, holiness and power—only when we are filled with the love of the Holy Spirit can we be filled with holiness, and only then experience lasting change. Every Christian experiences the "initial love" of the Holy Spirit when we are saved—we can do many of the outward things, even casting out demons and healing the sick. Bu...

In this season of Lent, Pastor Wu Yuzhuang brings us back to the Garden of Gethsemane the night before Jesus went to the Cross. Pastor Zhuang teaches us that the Garden is four things: it is a place of supplication, where Jesus went to pray in His darkest hour; it is a place of support, where Jesus turned to his friends Peter, James and John to be with Him in prayer; it is a place of struggle, whe...

It is God’s personal presence that distinguishes us as His people. Therefore, in all your pursuits, pursue the presence of God. In the moving sermon, Pastor Bobby Chaw unpacks how, since the beginning of time, the Holy Spirit has been with us—in the Old Testament, He was in the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire, the burning bush, the glory that filled the temple. In the New Testament, we are His...
