City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

In a faith-building sermon, Pastor Kong Hee shares from the Gospel of Matthew on a 24-hour time frame of Jesus’ ministry.In 24 hours, Jesus healed many—a leper, a centurion’s servant, Peter’s mother-in-law, two demon-possessed men, a paralytic, the woman with the issue of blood … and many others. Jesus is a healing Jesus who has a healing presence! God is the source of all healings. He loves to heal!

Continuing with his sermon series from Ps 23, Ps Zhuang shares that God, true to His extravagant love and generosity, wants to pour into our cup till it overflows. The keys to having an overflowing cup is being thankful for what we have, having faith for what we need, and staying close to God’s presence. May we position our hearts and lives to be ready to receive all that God wants to pour out on us!

In John 17, Jesus prays that we will experience the same love that God the Father has for Him—a deeply intimate love. The more we taste of His love, the more we are freed from the spirit of bondage and the spirit of death. The more we experience His love, the more we are healed, restored, and made whole! 

Sharing from the parable of the prodigal son, Ps Jeffrey Rachmat delivered a message on the topic of self-image. When the prodigal son was at his lowest, he discounted his value and saw himself as nothing more than a hired servant with no purpose. Self-image is the lens through which we see ourselves; the value we place on our worth. Just as the father embraced and honoured both his sons, may we have a revelation of how much we are loved and valued by God the Father.

One major issue that many people struggle with is rejection. Pastor Kong Hee shares on how rejection attacks our identity, distorts how we look at life, and hinders our ability to receive from God. The only permanent cure for rejection is the love of God the Father—it is the only power that can overcome the spirit of rejection!

Sharing from the story of Ehud in the Bible, Pastor Kong Hee challenges every Spirit-filled believer to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Word of God because the Holy Spirit moves to the extent of our knowledge and understanding of the Word. As we penetrate the Word deep into our lives and leave it inside, it drains out the life of the flesh. If we have the Word—our double-edged sword—unlikely heroes become world shakers and history makers!

Guest preacher from Ghana, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills cautions against the dangerous practice of forgetting the good that has been done to you. Some Christians forget God when they prosper—they become proud and take credit for their blessings instead of remembering and thanking God. The unrighteousness who forget God and provoke Him (Deut 9:7). Three key things that make people unfruitful are found in 2 Pet 1:9—blindness (not seeing that millions need Jesus), shortsightedness (not having far-sightedness) and forgetting one’s salvation. Let this message encourage you to catch the vision to reach out to the lost and not be barren but fruitful for the Lord.

Guest preacher Bishop Dag Heward-Mills from Ghana delivers this powerful message about four spiritual appointments for every Christian. Losing is part of following Christ— Jesus said “whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it”(Mt 16:25). Suffering is part of the Christian’s calling; tribulation is a door through which we enter the Kingdom of God. Sacrificing is an inherent part of Christianity; we are to present our bodies a living sacrifice (Rom 12:1). Dying to self, taking up one’s cross is a daily practice for the Christian. It is through these four appointments that a Christian, having lost, suffered and died, bears fruit for God. Be encouraged by this word to pay the price for God.

From records of the Bible and church history, everyone who had ever walked closely with God had made prayer the top priority of their lives. Prayer must be our priority because it brings us into a continuous communion with God. As we commit ourselves to a life of prayer, we will see Jesus redeeming our lives because prayer is effective and creative. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so!

When God brought Israel out of Egypt, he did so many signs and wonders among them. However, they had unbelief and did not receive the Word by faith. As such, they couldn’t enter the Promised Land.Pastor Kong Hee shares that if we are willing to humble ourselves and open up our hearts to receive God’s Word, it can produce 8 powerful things in us.

Everything that we need for life and godliness is found in the Word of God. Through the promises of God's Word, we participate in the divine nature—every time we experience the fulfilment of a promise, we come one step closer in our union with God!In this sermon, Pastor Kong Hee encourages us to not neglect the Bible because it is the key to our well-being and success. It is the most precious gift that God has ever given us!

Building on three accounts in the gospels, Pastor Kong Hee shares a powerful message on what faith is about— trusting and acting on God’s guidance, receiving by faith every step of the way.Our challenge is to stay in faith, to keep on receiving the promises of God in our hearts, and acting like the miracle is already happening, even when nothing seems to be happening. The miracles we desire are already in motion. Keep receiving by faith!

In this sermon, Pastor Kong Hee encourages us that as we end each year and enter a brand new year, we can fully place our trust in Jesus, who always goes before us. Whenever He asks us to step out in faith, He has already gone weeks, months, or even years ahead of us in advance, to prepare everything for us. We simply need to trust in this God who always goes before us. His timing is always perfect. His ways are higher than our ways!

In a small, smelly manger in the middle of nowhere more than 2,000 years ago, Mary and Joseph had to hold a candle to see their newborn baby.December has the longest and darkest nights of the year—to remind ourselves to behold Jesus, “the light of the world” (John 8:12). Because of Jesus, there are treasures found in darkness.The message of God to us every Christmas is: “Don’t be afraid … I will be the light in your darkness!"

Christmas is known to be the most wonderful time of the year. But really, what time is Christmas?From four statements that the angels made to the shepherds on that first Christmas night (Luke 2), Pastor Kong Hee shares an encouraging message:(1)Christmas is the time to RELEASE your fears.(2)Christmas is the time to RENEW your faith.(3)Christmas is the time to RECEIVE your forgiveness.(4)Christmas is the time to REBUILD your relationships.
