学习像基督一样在世上闪耀

我们生活在一个渴望真实性的文化中。人们不仅询问我们相信什么，也询问我们如何生活。正因如此，耶稣呼召我们作“盐和光”（马太福音 5:13-16）不再只是一句口号，而是一种生活方式。盐保存并提升味道；光驱散黑暗，揭示真相。像基督一样闪耀，并非关乎规则或仪式，而是关乎恩典在我们日常生活中的彰显。

“当把基督的道理丰丰富富地存在心里……”（歌罗西书 3:16）。“人活着不是单靠食物……”（马太福音 4:4）。这些经文提醒我们，圣经不仅仅是一种义务，更是滋养。特里·维尔戈经常谈到以圣经为中心的生活——圣经是一种喜悦，而不是一种责任。基督徒让神的话语塑造他们的世界观，指引他们的脚步。在这个价值观瞬息万变的世界里，神的话语提供了稳定（诗篇 119:105）。以圣灵开启和结束你的一天。让它塑造你的决定，滋润你的言谈。如同根系稳固树木，神的话语也稳固我们，使我们能经受风暴，并保持多结果子。

“不要醉酒……乃要被圣灵充满”（以弗所书 5:18）。“圣灵降临在你们身上，你们就必得着能力……”（使徒行传 1:8）。没有圣灵的基督教就像一辆没有燃料的汽车——有燃料却无力。特里·维尔戈强调了圣灵持续的体验：喜乐、能力、勇气和恩赐。这不仅是正确的神学，更是活生生的现实。被圣灵充满的信徒散发着自由，因为他们被赋予了服侍和圣洁的力量。每天早晨，祷告说：“圣灵，今天请重新充满我。” 人生观和勇气的转变会让你大吃一惊。

“你们当以这样的心为心……虚己……”（腓立比书 2:5-8）。 “凡为首的，就必作众人的仆人”（马可福音 10:43-45）。在天国里，真正的伟大不在于头衔，而在于毛巾——愿意为人洗脚。谦卑不是看不起自己，而是少为自己考虑。这种反文化的姿态极具吸引力。在教会、职场和邻里之间，寻找那些不为人知、不为人注意的服侍方式。在这个以自我为中心的时代，忘我的服侍才能闪耀光芒。

“他们恒心遵守使徒的教训，彼此相交……”（使徒行传 2:42）。“这样，众人就认出……你们若有彼此相爱的心……”（约翰福音 13:35）。基督教信仰并非个人的追求，而是一场家庭冒险。特里·维尔戈的“新边疆”教会强调参与，而非旁观。基督徒在一起成长得最好。世人通过基督的子民彼此相爱来认识基督。委身于地方教会吧。被人认识，勇于承担责任，积极参与。真正的门徒训练是循环往复的，而非一排一排的。

“我们不是顾念所见的，乃是顾念所不见的……”（哥林多后书 4:18）。“我们的国民却是天上的……”（腓立比书 3:20）。跟随基督的人是过路的朝圣者。当我们的目光专注于永恒时，我们的手就会轻握财物，我们的心也会坚定地承受试炼。这种视角会在困境中孕育坚韧，在成功时展现慷慨。经常问问自己：“这个决定如何反映出我永恒的家？”在这个执着于眼前利益的世界里，这样的问题可以重新调整我们的优先事项。

“所以，你们要去，使万民作我的门徒……”（马太福音 28:19-20）。“你们要作我的见证……”（使徒行传 1:8）。我们不仅从某些事中得救，也是为了某些事而得救。传福音自然而然地源于在耶稣里的喜乐。特里·维尔戈经常提醒我们：平凡的信徒蒙召去完成非凡的使命。这个月，你可以为谁祷告、联系谁？邀请他们喝咖啡，为他们祷告，并分享你的故事。使命并非附加的，而是生命转变的流露。

这些并非需要勾选的选项，而是恩典的果实——充满神的话语、圣灵的感动、谦卑的仆人生活在群体中，拥有永恒的视角，为耶稣而使命。正如保罗所说：“我们众人……得以看见主的荣光，就变成……”（哥林多后书 3:18）。我们会变得像我们所敬拜的。我们越仰望基督，就越像基督一样闪耀。所以，让我们以敬拜回应，并祈求神赐予我们新的恩典，使我们这一代能够跟随基督。在这个寻求真道的世界里，在基督里的真实性将比任何营销活动都更加闪耀。

Planning your Visit

Welcome to Runnymede Christian Fellowship, an Egham Church

Runnymede Christian Fellowship is a church based in Egham but serving a much larger geographical area. Those who call us home come from Egham, Virginia Water, Staines, Englefield Green, Egham Hythe, Pooley Green, Maidenhead, Heathrow, Slough, Ashford, Thorpe, Windsor, Woking and beyond.

Our church is a community of believers who gather regularly to share life and demonstrate God's love. We do this by encouraging and serving each other and the community. We believe in the power of prayer and are always happy to pray for you.

Church - What to expect

Our Sunday service is available to stream online at 11:00 a.m. You can join us on Livestream or via Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube or X (Twitter).

The Sunday Service is now held at Strodes College, Strodes College Lane in Egham open to all, so if you would like to join us, please feel free to do so. If you have any questions, please call us on 01784 637010.

We run a physical Sunday School most weeks. If you would like your children to receive a weekly Sunday School teaching pack that you can do from home, please email us at admin@e-runnymede.co.uk so that we can send you the materials.

Church on Sunday at Strodes College, Egham

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

We begin each service with lively worship, featuring songs from around the world, followed by inspiring, 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 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.

Joining us in person

Visiting a new and unfamiliar church for the first time can be intimidating, but we want to ensure you feel welcome and enjoy your time with us. A friendly face will be waiting to meet you at the entrance and welcome you.

Doors open at 10:30 a.m. for coffee and prayer. Our Sunday Service starts at 11:00 a.m. and typically runs for about 90 minutes, normally followed by tea and coffee.

Driving and Car Parking

Our Sunday Morning Service is now held at Strodes College, Strodes College Lane, Egham, TW20 9DR, which has ample parking. Click on the link for directions to RCF.

We have plenty of parking spaces right outside the building. Spaces are reserved near the entrance for anyone with mobility issues (those with a blue badge). Please let us know if you need to use one of these spaces, have any special needs, or require any assistance.

The car parking area is a public area, so please ensure that your children are under your control and that, for their safety, they do not run around in the car park.

Visiting with children?

Everyone is welcome at RCF. We encourage everyone, regardless of age, to join the service. We offer Sunday School, which begins after worship and runs concurrently with the sermon for 30 to 40 minutes, serving 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, fourth and fifth Sundays. If you want to get more acquainted, why not join us for a Sunday lunch with some of our members? The first meal is on us (Voucher provided). Please contact us and let us know. We would love to share a meal and get to know you better!
