Runnymede Christian Fellowship, a church in Egham

Week 28 - (09/07/2007)           What a dream

How do we like where we are in life? Do we love it? Do we hate it? Maybe we never think about it. Maybe we think about it all the time. Do we have a dream? Do we dare dream?  Some people think that everyone has a dream (many people do) - that each and every person deep inside has a yearnin...

Week 25 (18/06/2007)  Making a difference with a gift

Week 23 (04/06/2007)       What do people see?

We've all had the experience, probably more often than we like to admit. We've sensed that someone was angry or hurt, then worried ourselves sick about what they were thinking. We assumed they were angry at us, intent on confronti...

Week 22 (28/05/2007) - Passing through to purpose

There are crossover times in every life.

Some people call them the "peak" experiences. You know what they are. They are those times of transition. They are times fraught with potential disaster. The are the times in your life so similar to that of the people of Israel capsuled in the phrase, " . . . for you have not passed th...

Week 9 (26/02/07) - They want to serve the purpose of God in their generation.

The Gentlemen have asked for our prayers for This Friday as they push in to purpose and destiny, They are playing at a Venue called the Plug in Sheffield, so far 650 tickets have been sold, pray that they start to influence thier generation fro jesus.  Joel and Josh Cana particularly reached out to us as a Church to ask for prayer. 

Week 10 (4/3/07) - It matters for persistent, reliable and resilient growth that we are rooted well, supported, feed and watered on good and healthy things.

So as Jesus parable on the Sower talked of 30, 60 or 100 fold, he suggested that for seed planted in good soil would really bear fruit in adundance.  So we need to make sure we are rooted in good soil, being fed and nurtured on good things.

Week 5 - (29/01/07) For anyone who has ever been swimming in the sea or a river, you know that there are easy directions to swim in.  In still water it does not matter what direction you swim its the same resistance in each direction.  So for experienced travellers observing tides and currents makes all the difference to success of the journey.

I believe the same can e true of a spiritual journey, that we can catch the dir...

Week 6 - (05/02/07) You must have heard the saying "The family that plays together, stays together", its based upon the sense of oneness that comes out of having fun together and relax together, learns to communicate better and has less barriers to intimacy.

There is another saying "The family that prays together, stays together."  This is something different its about building a spiritual cohesion.

Week 7 (12/02/07) - We all have gifts, large or small, skill or talent, public or private, who are they available for, who do they serve, how are they used?

If someone gave you a present for Christmas and you did nothing with it, what use would that be, if you unwrapped it so you were aware of what it was to then not use it would not be beneficial, to unwrap it, take it out of its box try it out, know you had the skill to use it would but then put it back in it...

Week 3 - (15/01/07) I was in a business meeting last week when the high profile personnel were rewarded for what had been achieved, however all the people who behind the scenes made the project happen on time were not so pleased that they had not at least been acknowledged.

You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his wife now having cancer and him having " wealth"  from the book sales.

This is an absolutely incredible interview with Rick Warren, "Purpose Driven Life " author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California.

Sunday the 23rd of December saw Egham brought to a stand still as Donkeys and alpacas, with Mary, Joseph and an abundance of angels arrived to show the Christmas Story.

On a cold winters night hundreds of people joined in making the Christmas story real.

• Because we need miracles more than we need strategies
• Because the world is a vacuum waiting to be filled
• Because the MTV generation is lost in space
• Because we've seen the end of the movie
• Because this is not the dress rehearsal
• Because the poor are getting poorer
• Because we're aliens in the world
• Because we're too sensible
• Because boredom is sin
• Because he's worth it

An answer from Pete Grieg (24 - 7 prayer ministry)

WEEK 1 - Having had time over the Christmas holiday season I have spent some focussed time in prayer and meditation!
