为你的这一代人带来改变

在我们这一代人中，有所作为并非关乎惊天动地的举动或公众的赞誉，而是在神所栽种的时代和地点，忠实地活出祂的呼召。每一代人都面临着各自的挑战、文化喧嚣和属灵争战，然而神始终兴起平凡的男女，他们甘愿与祂同行，让祂的品格在他们生命中彰显。有所作为意味着选择每日的顺服。意味着祈求：“主啊，今天，你托付给我的一切，你希望我如何去做？”衡量意义不在于规模，而在于全然的降服。奉耶稣的名行一件简单的善事，其影响力可与向成千上万人宣讲的讲道一样深远。圣经中的伟大英雄本身并非非凡，他们只是甘愿顺服一位非凡的神。

祷告是这一呼召的核心。如果我们渴望有所作为，就必须从跪下祷告开始。历代志下7:14中，神明确地告诉我们，无论是一个国家、一个社区，还是一个人的生命，转变都始于祂的子民谦卑自己、祷告、寻求祂的面，并离弃自己的悖逆。祷告使我们与天上的旨意相合。它使我们在喧嚣的世界里，敏锐地聆听祂的声音。没有祷告，我们就可能倚靠自己的力量，依赖自己的智慧，误把忙碌当作丰盛的果实。雅各提醒我们，义人的祷告大有功效，因为它将信徒与神的心意和能力连接起来。当我们祷告时，我们邀请神以我们无法做到的方式动工。我们汲取远超我们自身的力量，并打开自然界无法开启的大门。祷告不仅仅是支持神的工作，它本身就是工作。每一次复兴，每一次神的作为，每一次家庭、社区或个人的转变，都始于普通信徒以恒切和谦卑的心寻求神。

希伯来书12章1节谈到要以忍耐奔跑摆在我们面前的赛程，这意象常常激励着我个人。我们每个人都被赋予了一条独特的人生道路。这并非一场肾上腺素和情绪驱动的短跑，而是一场漫长而稳定的顺服，需要自律、信靠和毅力。奔跑自己的人生赛程意味着接受神赋予我们生命的独特呼召，并且拒绝与他人的人生进行比较。这意味着要认识到，障碍和挣扎并非失败的标志，而是成长的契机。希伯来书的作者鼓励我们放下一切拦阻我们的事物、干扰、疑惑和罪恶，定睛仰望耶稣，奔跑前行。奔跑自己的人生赛程意味着我必须不断地将目光转向祂，让祂塑造我的动机，更新我的决心，并提醒我，最终的目标不是我的成功，而是祂的荣耀透过我的生命彰显出来。这提醒我，我是更宏大故事的一部分，这个故事跨越世代，并在基督里得以圆满。

当我回顾自己的人生旅程和接下来的路程时，我发现自己越来越依赖那些与我一同在信仰中前行的人的祷告。我需要祷告，求神赐予我清晰的指引，让我能够分辨神在这个阶段呼召我追求什么，以及祂要我放下什么。我需要祷告，求神赐予我力量，因为神的呼召往往需要我突破自我、做出牺牲，并愿意踏入那些需要信心超越舒适区的地方。我需要祷告，求神赐予我勇气，让我不畏惧分享祂的爱，也不畏惧祂引导我去带领的每一个机会。我需要祷告，求神赐予我与祂持续的亲密关系，因为如果没有这种深刻的个人联结，人生的旅程就会变成沉重的负担，而非喜乐的源泉。最重要的是，我渴望祷告，求神让我的生命与祂的旨意保持一致，让我的每一步都荣耀基督，让我在这世代所做的一切改变，都能反映出祂的心意，而不仅仅是我自己的努力。你呢？

最终，做出改变、带着目标祷告、奔跑人生的赛程以及寻求神的指引，这一切都是紧密相连的。作为团契的一员，愿我们彼此鼓励，在祷告中互相扶持，并彼此激励，追求能为后代留下宝贵遗产的信仰。

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!
