City Harvest Church Weekend Sermons

Prayer is more than presenting our needs to God—it is an ongoing relationship with our loving heavenly Father. In this message, we learn to move beyond “performative” or “superstitious” prayer into honest, relational conversation with God. As we slow down, listen, and allow Him to question, redirect, and refine us, prayer becomes a dialogue of surrender that shapes our hearts into His.

In Isaiah 53:4–5, the prophet foretold of a Messiah who would bear the sins and suffering of humanity. Preaching from this passage, Prof April Westbrook explores the depth of brokenness in our world and the greater love of God that reaches into it. Jesus came not only to bear our suffering, but also to lift us out of our brokenness and restore us to wholeness. He then invites us to partner with Him in His redemptive work in the world. This is the love of God that sets His people free.

When God created humanity, He made both male and female in His image (Genesis 1:26–28), entrusting them with a shared calling and responsibility. Prof April Westbrook explains that Pentecostalism is inherently egalitarian because the Holy Spirit empowers all believers, regardless of gender, age, or status. With the Fall, however, this God-given empowerment became distorted, and domination and gender hierarchy entered human relationships. In Christ, there is redemption and restoration—a return to God’s original intention of shared responsibility, mutual submission, and Spirit-empowered partnership.

God desires for all believers to mirror Jesus in love, power, and character. The greatest work of the Spirit is not merely what He puts into our hands, but what He produces in our hearts. In this sermon, Pastor Kong Hee talks about the cruciform life—a life shaped by the obedience and sacrifice of Christ on the cross. He reminds us that our "faith to receive" must transition to a "faith to become". Let us become more & more like Jesus Christ!

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Kong Hee shares about the importance of a strong spiritual atmosphere, where the place of agreement is the place of power. He also shares five ways everyone of us can contribute by being atmosphere-builders.
