通过话语治愈

谈论健康，就是谈论上帝对生命的应许。这生命不仅仅是靠着体力维持几十年的生命，更是从永生的上帝，借着祂活泼的话语而流淌而出的生命。圣经并不回避我们的软弱、疾病或死亡的现实。圣经一再宣告，上帝的话语中蕴含着医治、复兴和丰盛的生命。“我要使他足享长寿，将我的救恩显明给他”（诗篇91:16）。这应许超越了单纯的寿命，而是灵魂在上帝救赎的同在中安稳时所带来的深深的满足。

圣经不仅安慰病人，也带来上帝医治的大能。“他发命医治他们，救他们脱离死亡”（诗篇107:20）。上帝的话语并不遥远；它是活泼的，充满功效，将基督医治的触摸带入我们破碎的生命中。以赛亚预言，主的仆人将担当我们的忧患，背负我们的痛苦，因他受的鞭伤我们得医治（以赛亚书 53:4-5），他正将我们指向耶稣。在福音书中，耶稣通过使病人复原，彰显了天国的奥秘。“主啊，你若肯，必能叫我洁净了，”麻风病人说。耶稣就摸他说：“我肯，你洁净了吧！”（马太福音 8:2-3）。每一次医治都预示着在十字架上所换来的更大医治。

马太告诉我们，耶稣“医治了一切病人”，应验了以赛亚的预言（马太福音 8:16-17），祂走遍各城各乡，“医治各样的疾病、各样的灾病”（马太福音 9:35）。众人带着瘸子、瞎子、残废的、哑巴和许多其他的人来，祂都医治了他们（马太福音 15:30）。福音书的作者们一次又一次地记录了他的怜悯。“女儿，你的信救了你，平平安安地去吧，痊愈了”（马可福音5:34）。他对巴底买说：“你的信救了你了”（马可福音10:51-52）。医治的能力从来都不是抽象的；它与对活着的基督的信心息息相关。

他的事工并没有随着他尘世生命的结束而结束。复活的主吩咐说：“你们往普天下去，传扬福音……信的人必有神迹随着他们……手按病人，病人就必好了”（马可福音16:15-18）。路加告诉我们，日落的时候，“凡有病人的，不论害什么病，都带到耶稣那里，耶稣按手在他们各人身上，治好了他们”（路加福音4:40）。在使徒行传中，我们看到耶稣借着圣灵继续他的医治工作。彼得呼吁人们悔改，以便“那安舒的日子从主面前来到”（使徒行传3:19）。我们得知耶稣“周流四方行善事，医好凡被魔鬼压制的人，因为神与他同在”（使徒行传10:38）。

雅各劝勉教会要实践同样的事工：“你们中间有病了的呢？他就该请教会的长老来……出于信心的祈祷要救那病人，主必叫他起来”（雅各书5:14-15）。彼得将这一切锚定在十字架上：“他被挂在木头上，亲身担当了我们的罪，使我们既然在罪上死，就得以在义上活。因他受的鞭伤，你们便得了医治”（彼得前书2:24）。

因此，健康并非为了追求而追求的偶像，而是来自神活泼的话语的恩赐。它指引我们归向基督，祂不仅医治身体，也医治灵魂，不只是暂时的，更是永恒的。将健康归于祂，就是将自己完全交托给祂，完全顺服祂的话语，相信每一个应许都在耶稣里得到“是”。圣经呼召我们相信、顺服、悔改、祷告和盼望。在圣经里，我们找到了基督，祂既是医治者，也是救主，祂赐予我们丰盛的生命，从今直到永远。

Church on Sunday at Strodes College, Egham

Our Sunday service starts at 11:00 a.m. and typically lasts about 90 minutes.

We start each service with lively worship with songs from around the world, followed by inspired Bible-based teaching. All our sermons are recorded and are available as a podcast after the service.

We have a monthly cycle of Sunday services, with our Communion Service being on the first Sunday of each month and an All-Age All-Nation Service on the second Sunday of each month. Our other Sunday services include Spirit-focused and teaching services.

We have consciously adopted being a blended church, that is, both for those online and face-to-face. You are welcome to join us on Livestream or via Facebook, Linkedin, YouTube, or X (Twitter), or you can catch up and watch the recordings later.

Visiting with children?

Everyone is welcome at RCF. We encourage everyone, young and old, to join the service. We have Sunday School, which starts after worship and runs during the sermon for 30 to 40 minutes for children aged 4 to 12. On the second Sunday of each month, we have a shorter All-Aged All Nations Service, where the children stay for the worship and the sermon.

After Church

We chat over coffee and biscuits after church on the first, third and fourth Sundays. If you want to get more acquainted, why not join us for a Sunday lunch with some of our members? The meal is on us! Please contact us and let us know. We would love to share a meal and get to know you better!
