City Harvest Church Weekend SermonsAries Zulkarnain: The Advent-ure of MaryIn this Advent message, we are reminded that God’s light breaks into our deepest darkness—instantly dispelling fear and renewing hope. Seasons of unexpected and conflicted surprises invite us to respond to our own darkness with faith and humility, trusting God even when the path is unclear. And instead of facing our struggles alone, we are called to step out of isolation and enter the community of light, where encouragement, clarity, and fresh hope await.

City Harvest Church Weekend SermonsAries Zulkarnain: : No Cross, No GloryGod’s glory is best demonstrated through our pain and suffering. While we often seek miracles to escape our struggles, true faith calls us to persevere through them. Suffering and problems are meant to refine us, transform us, and reveal God’s glory through us; so we must never doubt His love, even when we do not feel it or understand what we are going through. In Christ, may we find grace to endure suffering and become who God calls us to be.

City Harvest Church Weekend SermonsAries Zulkarnain: Prayer To The FatherJesus taught His disciples to pray, “Our Father …” This focuses on recognising that God is our loving Father. While we can boldly ask for our needs, our prayers should align with God's will, trusting in His timing and wisdom. Within this framework of a Father-child relationship, we can come before Him with our needs and have confidence that not only does He hear our repeated prayers, He will answer in ways that develop our character and faith.

City Harvest Church Weekend SermonsAries Zulkarnain: True WorshippersAs believers, do we worship God because of the blessings He can provide, or do we worship Him purely out of love and devotion? From the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4, we can learn what it means to be a true worshipper—one that worships God in truth, and from the heart. May we be true worshippers, living our life conformed to God's Word, empowered by the Spirit, and expressed in genuine love and devotion to Jesus.

City Harvest Church Weekend SermonsAries Zulkarnain: The Power of the SeedThe power of God's Word is likened to seeds sown into various types of hearts (grounds). It emphasises that despite our heart condition—whether hardened, thorny, or shallow—God continuously sows His Word, preparing us through breakthroughs and crises. The Word, like rain and snow, nourishes and transforms us even in difficult times. As we open our hearts to receive from God, may His Word bear fruit in our lives, yielding 30-fold, 60-fold, and 100-fold!

City Harvest Church Weekend SermonsAries Zulkarnain: The Race of FaithEndurance and resilience were the hallmarks of Jesus’ ministry. As Christians, our lives must likewise be defined, not by our achievements, but by how we overcome failure, keeping an attitude of never giving up and always desiring to bounce back from setbacks. Preaching out of Hebrews 12:1, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain teaches that while supernatural miracles are great, if we only look out for the spectacular, we may miss out on the “ordinary” revelation from an extraordinary God. Two truths: one, we are called to run a race of faith that is given by the Lord, not our own “fantasy run”. The race o...

When we face problems, let us be reminded to look up (Col 3:1). Two things that give us the right spiritual mindset towards failure: 1) Believe in the resurrection power of Jesus in you. We must decide to ac...

In this sermon, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain challenges the believer to examine his attitude towards God, drawing from Exodus 33. God told Moses He would still bless the children of Israel as they continued their journey toward the promised land, but He would not go with them. The Israelites had taken His love for granted. What about us? How can we measure how much we truly treasure the Lord? Pastor Aries lists three questions we must ask: one, do we still value God’s presence in our lives? Ar...

City Harvest Church Weekend SermonsAries Zulkarnain: Spiritual AppetiteTo have cravings, desires and aspirations is not wrong. What is important is the kind of food—natural, mental, spiritual—that one consumes. In this thought-provoking message, Aries Zulkarnain likens the appetite one has for food to one’s spiritual appetite for God. Just as one can spoil one’s appetite by eating junk food, making nutritious food undesirable, one can also ruin one’s desire for God by feasting on carnal content. Pastor Aries urges the listener to desire for Jesus’ food, which is to do the will of Father God (John 4:34). He presents the way to do this in a “t...

City Harvest Church Weekend SermonsAries Zulkarnain: The Temple Of The Holy SpiritIs it good enough to continue watching weekend services from the comfort of your couch at home? In this sermon, Aries Zulkarnain encourages Christians to gather in person for church services now that the worst of Covid is over. The main reason to do come back to the house of God is to ensure that believers do not replace community with self-directed religion, which makes one prone to self-deception. No man can grow spiritually in isolation. Pastor Aries cites how Jesus went to the temple and cleansed it (John 2:13, Matt 21:12). From that, he teaches two things: one, believers must...

In this sermon, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain teaches us that as we mature in our walk, we may have to endure tests of love, just as Abraham did when God instructed him to sacrifice his son Isaac. God never gave a reason why, but Abraham reasoned that the Lord could raise his son from the dead. How can a Christian reach that level of trust in God?

Most people consider “better” to having more than the year before, but what is God’s idea of “better”? Preaching out of Haggai 1, Pastor Aries reminds us to “give careful thought” to our ways. He posits two key points. One, in your busyness, do not forget to enjoy God. After all, the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever; we are to delight in the Lord.

In this thought-provoking message, Aries Zulkarnain unpacks the parable of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16, to show us what it looks like to be known by God. First, it’s someone who has his identity in Christ—Lazarus was named and the rich man was not, because Lazarus depended on God his whole life. Second, it’s someone who chooses to submit and obey God’s will: no matter what happens to us, what counts is how we choose to respond to God...

In this message, Aries Zulkarnain shows how Jesus' disciple John was transformed from being a person of absolutes to the Apostle of Love through learning how Jesus dealt with sinners such as the adulterous woman (John 8:1-11), Simon Peter who denied Him (John 18:17-18) and the ones who put Jesus to death on the Cross despite His innocence (John 19). From Jesus, John learned that love is a balance of grace and truth, and a balance of forgiveness and restoration. Listen and enjoy more of Pastor Aries' revelations from the...

City Harvest Church Weekend SermonsAries Zulkarnain: Loving Your Neighbor As YourselfIn this companion sermon to "Becoming A Person Of Truth And Love", Aries Zulkarnain teaches what it means to be a person who obeys God's command to love his neighbor as yourself. "Gospel neighboring" is three things: to show love to anyone unconditionally, to exercise humility and self-awareness and to demonstrate radical, sacrificial love. All this is only possible when we manifest Jesus in our hearts through the power of the Holy Spirit—only when He is Lord over our lives, including our beliefs, values and spiritual reality, can we love like He does.

City Harvest Church Weekend SermonsAries Zulkarnain: Becoming a Person of Truth & LoveIn the post-truth world that we live in, Christians must first become people of God's truth and of God's love before being able to effectively speak the truth in love. Aries Zulkarnain's pivotal message on spiritual dexterity alerts believers to the stark difference between the manipulated "truth" of the world and God's truth. Like Abraham, who established altars every place he built his tent, we must also establish the immovable truth of God and not exchange it for "cultural truths" which can be easily altered. Pastor Aries also demonstrates from Apostle Paul's life how to be a humblie, holistic...

Being more tech-savvy will not make you a better Christian, even though it can be a tool to help you in your walk with God.

In his weekend message, Pastor Aries Zulkarnain comforts and inspires the listener to find purpose in “the middle”. There are two ways to relook at our situation. One, our loss of purpose is more important than our loss of provision. If we don’t lose sign of God’s purpose in our lives, that gives us hope, which leads us to take practical steps towards God’s promises. Two, in the mid...

This is the art of waiting on the Lord until your soul finds rest in Him; then blessings, deliverance, salvation come.

This requires the believer to be balanced—able to embrace the spiritual and the earthly simultaneously. Balance allows a Christian to expect a miracle from God and, at the same time, embrace the mystery of God. God may not meet our expectations, and the reason for that could be that He wants to exceed it. Discover how to...

Success is often deceptive: one can be lured into attempting to replicate success by doing the same thing. However, God is always doing a new thing.
