每日奇迹 

在日常生活中发现奇迹,往往并非始于惊天动地的景象,而是始于顺服。圣经始终指引我们认识一位透过平凡的信实彰显非凡恩典的神。希伯来书5章8节提醒我们,耶稣在受苦中学会了顺服。这短短一节经文重塑了我们对奇迹的理解。奇迹并非总是突如其来的拯救,而是常常通过坚持、信靠和付出代价的信心而成就。奇迹不仅在于结果,更在于当我们行走在神为我们预备的道路上时,我们内心发生的转变。

我们生活在一个渴望立竿见影的文化中,然而神的国度却常常以塑造的节奏推进。挪亚并非一夜之间就发现花园里停着一艘完工的方舟。在创世记6章8-16节中,我们读到挪亚蒙耶和华的恩宠,然后花费数年时间建造了一件前所未见的事物,顺服于一个看似天方夜谭的话语。奇迹不仅在于人类得以幸存,更在于一个人在没有雨水、没有掌声、没有任何其他保证的情况下,依然信靠上帝,坚持建造。我们自身的许多奇迹,也正是在我们日复一日坚持不懈地努力时悄然形成的。

门徒们也曾为此挣扎。在马可福音16章14-18节中,耶稣责备他们的不信,然后委派他们医治病人,并以大能传扬福音。那些曾经心存疑虑的门徒,如今却被赋予了行神迹奇事的重任。这告诉我们一个至关重要的道理:上帝不会等到我们拥有完美的信心才施行神迹。他邀请那些愿意跟随他的人勇敢前行,信心在行动中不断增长。很多时候,我们所寻求的奇迹,并非源于确信,而是在顺服的另一边。

上帝对我们的计划并非偶然或被动的。在耶利米书29章11-13节中,耶和华向被掳的百姓传达了盼望,应许他们一个根植于祂旨意的未来。然而,这应许也伴随着一个呼召:我们要全心寻求祂。这奇妙的未来与当下的追求息息相关。当我们在祷告、工作和服事的日常节奏中寻求神时,我们会发现祂的同在早已在我们里面动工,重塑我们的境遇和品格。

平安是另一个我们常常忽略的奇迹。在约翰福音14章27节中,耶稣直接向我们焦虑的心说话,祂赐给我们平安,这平安不像世人所赐的,而是永恒的礼物。这平安并非否定苦难,而是超越苦难。在压力、不确定或失去中经历平静,这本身就是一个奇迹。这证明神在我们里面动工,在我们境况未定时守护我们的心。

使徒保罗在腓立比书4章13节中记录了这种活生生的力量奇迹。他宣称靠着那加给他力量的基督,凡事都能做,这番话并非写于安逸之中,而是写于禁锢之中。奇迹并非逃离苦难,而是带着目标的忍耐。许多信徒仍在等待机会之门开启,​​却不知神早已赐予他们力量,使他们在当下站稳脚跟。

在日常生活中发现奇迹,意味着学会辨识神在细微的顺服、默默的坚持、意想不到的平安和持续的力量中所留下的印记。这意味着在结果不明朗时选择信靠神,在答案遥不可及时寻求祂,在进展缓慢时继续前行。随着时间的推移,我们发现奇迹并非仅仅是神为我们所做的,而是祂在我们里面所成就的。当我们学习像基督一样顺服时,我们会发现,天国常常在最平凡的时刻降临人间。

这种视角重塑了我们的期待,加深了我们的感恩。当我们放慢脚步,用心观察时,日常生活便成为圣地。对话、挫折、日常琐事和责任,都成为神与我们相遇的地方。奇迹不再是关于打断,而是关于启示,是关于睁开双眼看到一位信实的上帝,祂已经存在,已经动工,并且总是邀请我们今天在爱、谦卑和每日安静的盼望中更完全地信靠祂。

Church on Sunday at Strodes College, Egham


 Prophetic word for students -

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.
