City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

Ephesians 2:19 says that we belong in God's household with every other Christian. In this sermon, Choong Tsih-Ming reminds us of that the Church is God's own family on earth, and every believer belongs in His household—a Christian without a church is a contradiction. But sometimes, believers don't want to connect because they are afraid to reveal their true selves. However, it is when we are willing to be vulnerable and authentic that we experience love and belonging, and feel worthy. A covenantal relationship is one where two people make a promise to lay down their lives for one another: we all need to belong to each other.

We often say to someone: “May God bless you.” What is the blessing of God? Blessing is the empowerment of God for divine favor and success in life. Blessing is the covenant of God to override any curse. How do we activate the blessing of God in our lives?In this sermon podcast, delve deeper into the origin and the powerful significance of God’s blessing from His Word; and find out how you can release it into your situation and your life. 

Death is not the greatest loss in life; the greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live. Defeat, doubt, disappointment, disillusionment, grief, fear—the disciples were "dead" inside after Jesus died. In the same way Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene, one of the three Marys who sought to remain close to Christ after He died, Jesus will show up in the midst of your emotional death and resurrect you. This encouraging sermon shows you three things Matthew 6 says that pave the way for the power of resurrection. One, your "dead-end" is really a set-up for a turn-around; two, manage your emotions as honestly as possible; and three, shift your focus from your pain to God's forgiveness.

Faith and patience are two necessary ingredients if we want to see the promises of God manifested in our lives. Under challenging circumstances, our faith can sometimes be bombarded and overwhelmed and our patience can wane. When that situation happens, what can we do to safe guard faith and patience in our lives? Pastor Kong Hee teaches us to identify the enemies that come to wear out our patience and destroy our faith. Find out how you can deal with them and live an overcoming life of faith and perseverance!

In John 11, Lazarus had been dead for four days before Jesus came and raised him up. In Jewish tradition, the spirit of a person hovers around the body for three days looking to return, but by the fourth day the body has decayed and the spirit cannot return. Yet Jesus was able to resurrect Lazarus. Likewise, He is able to resurrect anything from the dead that is in our lives, whether a marriage, health, finances or relationships. In this inspiring Easter message, Bobby Chaw not only preaches the resurrection power of Jesus Christ, but shares three remarkable examples of how Christ can raise believers from the tomb of sin and sorrow, sickness and pain and debt and failure.

As believers, we are each given a measure of faith; but the devil wants to take away our faith and replace it with fear. Just as faith comes by hearing God’s Word, fear comes by hearing what is contradicting to God’s Word. It is a force that has a negative and often paralyzing effect on us; one that will rob us of our potential and destiny in God. We are called to live a life of faith, so how do we choose to live a life free from fear? Pastor Kong reveals the key to overcoming fear and having the boldness and confidence to live out God’s promises for our lives.

The most innovative companies in the world have one thing in common: BHAG (a big, hairy, audacious goal). Jesus also gave all believers a BHAG and that is the Great Commission. How to achieve this huge goal? Listen to this sermon and discover that it begins with asking God the right questions and you will receive revelation. Recognize that you have been given all authority by Jesus. If you can have the faith to see it, God’s power is always available to perform it. Remember that the Great Commission is great because the one who commissions it is great!

Many Christians struggle with the concept of God as their wonderful, heavenly Father. Yet all throughout the gospels, we see just how close Jesus is to God. He is in constant communion with the Father, leaning on Him for guidance and always aware of what the Father wants Him to do. As His children who call Him Abba, Father, we too can have this intimate, heart relationship with God. Sun shares a message that will strike a chord within and draw us back to  God. Open your hearts as you tune in and allow Father God to reveal Himself to you. 

Every Christian has received the Great Commission: to go and make disciples of all nations. A believer's mission is to save lives. In this message, Wu shows how we can all be fishers of men, whether we are businessmen, office workers or housewives. All it takes is the willingness to do as Apostle Peter did and let Jesus into his fishing boat; what was Peter's "office" became Jesus' platform to preach and change the lives of many people. Find out how you can let your boat be Jesus' platform: by living and working with excellence, by loving the unchurched and by always being ready to tell the world about Jesus.

The Church of God has withstood trials and tribulations over the centuries. In spite of persecution and challenges, Christianity thrived and grew. As believers of the 21st century, we need to understand how the early Christians lived out their faith—embracing the whole counsel of God and His Word. Pastor Kong takes us from the early days of City Harvest Church, through the various teachings and values that have shaped this church to become what it is today. Just as how the Early Church overcame the odds, may we commend ourselves to God and to the Word of His grace, standing on His promises and revelation for our lives.
