City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

There are times in every Christian's life when he hits the brick wall called "I don't know what to do anymore". In this sermon, Aries Zulkarnain delves into the difficult subject of what to do when you don't seem to be getting anywhere with a problem; when breakthrough eludes you despite all the fasting and praying you have done. Zulkarnain offers three truths to encourage the believer to keep keeping on, to stay faithful to one's current assignment, because growth, deliverance and results come from the Lord alone.

What if all you had in your hand was an ox goad—a piece of wood used by farmers to guide their herds of oxen? That’s all young farmer Shamgar had. Yet he possessed the qualities that qualified him for the anointing of God, and God transformed him into a warrior who killed 600 enemies with that piece of wood. In this first Emerge Conference 2018 sermon, Wu Yuzhuang shares the five qualities Shamgar possessed. Where there is the anointing of God, no talent you have is too small. When you’re anointed, you’ll eventually be appointed by the Lord.

If you don’t define who you are, someone else will define it for you (Edwin Louis Cole). In this final Emerge Conference 2018 sermon, Aries Zulkarnain drives home the importance of knowing one’s identity which comes from God and can be found in His Word, not in the world. An intimate relationship with God is both the beginning of our identity and the ultimate end of our destiny. To take hold of our true identity, we must understand that God is love, and He can only love and bless who we really are—not who we pretend to be. When we bring all we are to God—the good, the bad and the ugly—His love covers us and realigns us.

Are you willing to be a Risker for God? In this second sermon of Emerge Conference 2018, Bobby Chaw reminds Christians that they are “a chosen generation” (1 Pet 2:9), carefully selected by God and made holy. Therefore, we are to stay pure and protect our holiness so that we can fulfil God’s calling in our lifetime, and do mighty exploits for Him. An example of a Risker is William Tyndale, a Bible scholar who made it his life’s mission to bring the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible to the people by translating it into English; a mission that he paid for with his life, so that the Word could bring millions to Christ.

God has chosen us and set us apart from our mother’s womb, with a designated purpose for each one of us. We are the reason and the subject of His passion! People with a purpose are unstoppable, and the enemy knows that. He will try everything to keep us from fulfilling our destiny in Christ. How do we guard and grow our passion for Jesus? Sun Ho shares what it takes to stay passionate and set ourselves apart for God’s purpose in our lives.

Our God is a transgenerational God—He rules and reigns over generations that come after us. In this sermon, Aries Zulkarnain establishes the important roles that parents and children have to play in ensuring that faith and anointing are carried down from generation to generation. The greatness of a family, a church, a culture is determined by longevity, sustainability and continuity. Zulkarnain lists three key ways to continue the revival for generations.

God wants to see each generation grow from strength to strength, faith to faith and glory to glory. But one of the biggest challenges to revival is known as the Second Generation Syndrome. This generation did not face the same challenges as their forefathers, and they run the risk of complacency and apathy. How do we overcome this syndrome and raise the next generation to be zealous for God and consecrated unto Him? Kong Hee shares the keys to building up the second generation Christians to seek the Lord and pursue after Him.

We're at the halfway point of 2018—how can we move forward wisely and end the year strong? Aries Zulkarnain delivers a practical lesson in setting priorities in this sermon. When we are under pressure we tend to focus on what is urgent but not what is important. Time, money and energy become priorities, when they should be the resources we use to grow our lives. Drawing from the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, Zulkarnain shows how a Christian can live his best life resetting his priorities.

God wants to bless us and anoint us to lead successful lives. But do we have the inner capacity to receive, contain, withstand and produce all that God wants to give us? Do we have the capability to deal with issues in life that come our way? Kong Hee takes us through five keys to increasing our inner capacity and seeing increase and multiplication in our lives.

"Today, if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts." (Heb 3:15) In this sermon, Bobby Chaw challenges the believer to respond wholeheartedly to God when the Word convicts him. Many believers have "a saved heart but a pagan mind", just like the children of Israel who were physically away from Egypt but kept their old, defeatist thinking. The only way to grow up as a Christian, is to change our old way of thinking; to stop, repent and receive the grace of the Holy Spirit.
