City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

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. 

In the frailty of man, God ordains strength and power. Preaching out of Psalm 8, Bobby Chaw shows how it is those who are weak and vulnerable are used by God to confound the wise.

Discover how, through the work of the Cross, Christians have the authority to obey the Great Commission given by Jesus.

Discover the happiness and blessings that come when we submit our will to the will of God!

As we put God first, we will discover how our hunger for more of God's holiness can change our life!

Once we have a foretaste and an encounter with the very presence of God, we will never ever want to lose that. Discover how you can abide in Jesus Christ and live continually in the presence of God.

The truth and accuracy of the Bible is often called into question by those yet to believe, including scholars. By strictly looking at the facts, Josh McDowell, author of the bestseller Evidence That Demands A Verdict, reveals the foundation of the Bible and shows why the Old and New Testaments are even more accurate than popular classic texts from Greek philosophers like Homer, Euripides and Aristotle. This sermon will revive confidence in every believer that the Bible is the whole and infallible Word of God, and that the Word has the power to transform lives and the world in which we live.

A go-to argument for many critics of Christianity is "How can an intelligent person believe that Jesus was raised from the dead?" Renowned apologist Josh McDowell demonstrates how he challenges such a question with an invitation to refute the resurrection of Jesus and to document their findings. Listen to this sermon and find out how everything that was written about the crucifixion of Christ and his burial is backed by historical findings; and how Jesus' return to Jerusalem was recorded by over 500 eyewitnesses, some of them hostile witnesses such as Jesus' brother, James and Saul of Tarsus.

Christianity is more than just a religion or a code of moral conduct. It is a dynamic relationship with God that is full of the power of the Holy Spirit. What must we do in order to experience a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit that will bring about an inner transformation within us?Find out how you can experience a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit and take your relationship with God to the next level.

Chastening is an important process of divine discipline or training that God gives those He calls His sons. It's important not to mistake it for divine judgment: chastening is for our profit, that we may be partakers of God's holiness (Heb 12:10). In this sermon, Choong Tsih-Ming examines what forms of chastening—trials and afflictions—we may face, how we respond to it and the purpose for it. Afflictions may take the form of the retributive, corrective, educative and preventative. The right response to chastening is to cheerfully submit to God. Let this message lead you to submitting to God's chastening and benefitting fully from it.

To experience the power of the Holy Spirit, there has to be a degree of purity in our lives. As believers, we all want to lead a sanctified life, set apart for Jesus. But how do we overcome the pulls of the flesh and the world? How do we become sanctified and empowered by God? Discover the power of sanctification over your life and how you can overcome sin and temptation to lead a victorious,  consecrated life for Jesus Christ!
