City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

In this post-truth era, we live in constant uncertainty and skepticism because the truth is no longer simple in an age of “deep fake”. In this encouraging message by Bobby Chaw, we are reminded that in a truthless world, Jesus is the Truth, the Way and the Life (John 14:6). There are three things about God that we can count on: He is consistent, He has complete integrity, and He is faithful and dependable. Filling his message with real-life testimonies, Pastor Bobby demonstrates the utter reliability of God—He is the God of truth and “he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame” (1 Pet 2:6).

Has the convenient “new norm” of doing church online replaced your commitment and sense of community? In this thought-provoking sermon, Aries Zulkarnain challenges the church to beware letting technology become a substitute for God. When technology has distracted us to the point where we no longer examine it, it has power to enslave us. Being more tech-savvy will not make you a better Christian, even though it can be a tool to help you in your walk with God. Pastor Aries issues us a timely reminder to use technology in service of, and not to replace the embodied life of the church.

In the second part of this teaching, Kong Hee shows through Scripture how Jesus always spoke the truth but with great love to sinners like the woman at the well (Jn 4) and the adulterous woman (Jn 8), and by doing so, transformed their lives. The truth is important because it determines the outcome of our lives and our growth, but the evidence of our spiritual maturity is how well we balance truth with love (Eph 4). To practically do this, we must observe the “284” of love (1 Cor 13)—all the things that love is and is not. Learn from and be encouraged by this Word to be like Jesus and balance truth with love.

Truth without love makes a person harsh. Love without truth makes one self-indulgent and self-pleasing. In this sermon, Kong Hee shows us how to maintain a healthy balance by following the example of Apostle John, who was transformed through Jesus’ discipleship from being a self-righteous “son of thunder” to being an “apostle of love”. We must be ready to defend our doctrines, but our discussions must include four P’s: plan, proof, purpose and preparation. Listen to this sermon and learn how to begin to “speak the truth in love” (Eph 4:15).

In this time of pandemic, the Christian has a mission to make a difference to the world with his unique gifts and talents. Listen to this prophetically-charged conversation between Pastor Kong Hee and CHC’s spiritual mentor, Dr A.R. Bernard of Christian Cultural Center and discover how God is shaping our “new normal” through revival, creativity and innovation. Learn how to adopt “redemptive thinking” as we hope in the character of God and lean on His consistency that is the anchor for our soul.

In Numbers 22, there are four important lessons on how to respond to life’s challenges believers can learn from four characters. In this sermon by Bobby Chaw, we learn from Balak, king of Moab, that unlike unbelievers, we can be focused on God. From the prophet Balaam, we learn that we must not be double-minded, but be pure. God’s presence in the chapter reminds us to be calm, because He is actively preserving and guiding our lives. Finally, the children of Israel escaped many battles because they chose to be close to God, who fought for them. This sermon will encourage you to be focused, be pure, be calm and be close even when the future is unsure—God is fighting for you.

You are not on your own—God is with you. In this rousing sermon, Pastor Phil Pringle of C3 Church, Sydney reminds us of the God Factor. God wants to put “But God” faith in us—it’s what causes us to have victory over our enemies. Pastor Phil lists three situations in which we most need the God Factor: when we are fearful, when we get ourselves in a mess and when we are under pressure. The God Factor gives us faith when fear threatens to overwhelm us. There is forgiveness in God through repentance when we mess up. When you’re in the fire, He is there with you. Be encouraged by this Word.

In this very first weekend edition of Coffee With Kong, Pastor Kong Hee takes the interviewer’s seat as he speaks to his guest, Pastor Bill Johnson of Bethel Church through video conferencing. Tackling topics from COVID-19 and the future of church to fanning the flames of spiritual fire, be blessed by the wisdom shared in this warm conversation. Learn how to invest in your future in this time of pandemic, how to have a kingdom mindset and how to recognize the great opportunity before us to increase in demonstrations of power as we live out the gospel.

In this season, being stuck in the middle, unable to fully resume life as we know it, can make Christians feel like their faith has been left hanging in mid-air. In his weekend message, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain comforts and inspires the listener to find purpose in “the middle”. There are two ways to relook at our situation. One, our loss of purpose is more important than our loss of provision. If we don’t lose sign of God’s purpose in our lives, that gives us hope, which leads us to take practical steps towards God’s promises. Two, in the middle we tend to be focused on self-preservation, but what we must do is preserve God’s purpose. The middle is the season to sow our seeds to produce new life in our family, our church and our community. Be blessed by the message and the many encouraging testimonies within.

In this encouraging sermon, Pastor Kong Hee shows how, throughout Jesus’ life He managed crisis and change without ever losing His focus. As He entered new seasons of life, Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men. God uses seasons of change to test our moral qualities and find the cracks in our character. Jesus went through temptation in the desert, and clarified his values and guiding principles that He applied throughout His ministry. When Jesus faced opposition, He refused to give in to fear, but accepted the new norm and took positive action. Jesus also had a succession plan: he trained his 12 disciples and 70 followers, expanding His options through seeking God. Likewise we must get ready for the next season of our lives. Finally, Jesus put absolute trust in God, even when He knew He was going to the cross. Listen to this message and learn from Jesus how to master change.
