City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

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 from God and, at the same time, embrace the mystery of God. God may not meet our expectations, and the reason for that could be that He wants to exceed it. Discover how to develop the maturity to trust in the Lord and let Him have His way in your life.

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 all-important question—what are we living for? Find out how you can have a legacy for eternity, a legacy with kingdom inheritance, and a legacy of heavenly blessings!

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 Holy Spirit in our life and ministry that transformation happens. Listen to this sermon and find out what barriers keep us from the fullness of the Holy Spirit and how to overcome them.

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 ministry in eternity.How then shall we prepare ourselves to march into the Holy City to dwell in Christ for all eternity? Learn how we can actively seek after the Holy City (Heb. 13:14) here and now as we pattern our life and ministry after it.

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 the character of God is witnessed through His people. To fully understand the glory of God, our focus must be Jesus Christ. Listen and discover why Jesus must be the center of it all.

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 part of us. It is how we overcome the power of temptation; how we find peace and wisdom; how we can have faith and confidence that God is in control of our situation. Find out how you can live in the Word and by the Word, and let the revelation of God take you on an exciting adventure in Christ!

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; to Him, our brokenness is beautiful and to be displayed with pride. It is when we are broken that God's divine mercy shines through our cracks. So it is with the church—when people see our "jar of clay" (2 Cor 4:7) they will glorify God. Listen to this inspiring sermon that encourages you to stay in the process and see God honor His promise.

When we are down and out, it’s hard to feel motivated and to enjoy life. But the Bible has given us the key to overcoming this. 1 Peter 3:10 says: “He who would love lifeand see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.” How do we get to the place where we can “love life and see good days”? The key is found in our words; particularly, our meditation on God’s Word.Pastor Kong takes us through the definition of meditation and how we can speak the Word of God and call God’s blessings into being.

In this commencement message for the graduating class of the School of Theology 2019, Bobby Chaw delivers an honest yet encouraging sermon on enduring present sufferings because a believer has the hope of glory. Illustrating this core point with powerful examples, including Aiden Ho, a 2019 SOT graduate who was told one year ago he had two months to live, Pastor Bobby shows the power of not giving up hope. Discover how to set your eyes on the future glory with earnest expectation, by groaning in prayers and holding on to hope.

God has given us the most powerful key to victory—His Word. The promises found in God’s Word can be applied to every single aspect in life. But how do we take Scripture off the pages of the Bible and deposit God’s promises into our minds, and more importantly, our hearts?Pastor Kong shares with us his personal journey of employing the power of meditating on Bible promises. He also unveils God’s guarantees to power, protection, prosperity, presence, peace, patience and permanent victory for every believer who meditates on His Word.
