City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

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 devotion to God’s Word, choosing daily to respond to Him with humility and obedience.

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, listening for His voice, and trusting Him in every season.

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 light, where encouragement, clarity, and fresh hope await.

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.
