Adoptim, Fogivim, Akseptim 

I gat wanpela samting we i save strongim bel bilong yu long save long wanem hap yu bilong en. Insait long wanpela wol we aidentiti i save kamap long pefomens, ajivmen, o senis bilong tingting bilong ol narapela, gutnius i toktok long wanpela tok tru we i dip moa na i stap oltaim: insait long Krais ol i adoptim yumi, fogivim yumi, na kisim yumi olsem ol pikinini bilong King. Dispela i no wanpela gutpela tingting tasol; em i wanpela samting bilong spirit we i senisim tingting bilong yumi long God, long yumi yet, na long narapela narapela.

Aposel Pol i raitim long Efesus 1:5 olsem God "i bin makim yumi pinis bai yumi kamap pikinini bilong em long rot bilong Jisas Krais, long laik bilong em yet na long laik bilong em yet." Adopsen em i wanpela pasin bilong laikim man. Em i no kamap nating, na tu em i no surik. Long kalsa bilong ol Rom, we ol rida bilong Pol bai kliagut long en, adoptim pikinini i givim ful raits, inheritens, na famili status. Pikinini we ol i adoptim em i wanpela memba bilong famili olsem olgeta pikinini man o pikinini meri. Long wankain rot, God i bringim yumi i kam insait long famili bilong Em wantaim ful privilej na stap bilong Em.
Sapos God i adoptim yumi, dispela i min olsem yumi no moa ol pikinini i no gat papamama long sait bilong spirit na yumi wok long kisim tok orait bilong Em. Tasol, yumi kisim invitesen long kolim Em "Abba, Papa" (Rom 8:15), wanpela tok bilong pasin bilong pas gut wantaim na trastim em. Dispela i senisim pasin bilong yumi long prea na long laip bilong yumi long olgeta de. Yumi no go klostu long God wantaim pret long ol bai sakim yumi tasol wantaim bilip long lav bilong Em olsem papa.
Tasol adopsen i no inap bruk long fogivnes. Welkam bilong yumi insait long famili bilong God i kamap tru long wok bilong Krais long baim bek yumi. Efesus 1:7 i kirapim tingting bilong yumi olsem, "Long blut bilong em, God i kisim bek yumi, na em i fogivim sin bilong yumi, na dispela i mekim na yumi marimari tru." Fogivnes em i no God i lusim tingting long sin; em i God i wok long stretim sin olgeta na las tru long rot bilong diwai kros.

Planti bilipman i gat bel hevi i stap yet, olsem fogivnes em i liklik hap tasol o em i bilong sotpela taim tasol. Tasol Skripsa i tok long klinim olgeta. Song 103:12 i tokaut olsem God i save rausim ol sin bilong yumi “olsem hap sankamap i stap longwe long hap san i go daun.” Taim yumi kisim dispela, yumi lusim hevi bilong kotim yumi yet na yumi inap long wokabaut long nupela laip.
Pasin bilong kisim samting i save kamap long pasin bilong adoptim na fogivim man. Tok bilong Pol long Efesus 1:6, we planti taim ol i save tanim olsem yumi "kisim yumi insait long dispela man yumi laikim tumas," i soim olsem yumi sanap long ai bilong God na yumi werim stretpela pasin bilong Krais. Pasin bilong kisim yumi i no kamap long wok bilong yumi long sait bilong spirit tasol long pasin bilong yumi wantaim Jisas.
Dispela tok tru i toktok long wanpela bikpela laik tru bilong bel bilong man - laik bilong kisim save na laikim tru. Insait long Krais, yumi tupela wantaim. God i lukim yumi olsem yumi stap, tasol em i welkamim yumi gut tru. Tok piksa bilong pikinini man i lus (Luk 15:11-32) i soim klia piksa: papa i ran i go holim pikinini man i kam bek, na em i givim bek ona bilong em, na em i amamas long taim em i kam bek long ples bilong em. Dispela em i bel bilong Papa bilong yumi long yumi wanwan.

Pasin bilong stap olsem ol pikinini bilong King i gat wok tu. Pita i tokim ol bilipman olsem, "Olsem ol pikinini bilong harim tok, yupela i no ken bihainim ol laik nogut bilong yupela taim yupela i no save long wanpela samting" (1 Pita 1:14). Aidentiti bilong yumi i singautim yumi long soim pasin bilong Papa bilong yumi long pasin holi, pasin laikim, na pasin daun. Mipela i no save bihainim pasin bilong bihainim tok bilong kisim ol manmeri i orait long mipela; mipela i bihainim tok bikos ol i orait long mipela.
Insait long laip bilong wanpela sios komyuniti olsem Runnymede Christian Fellowship, dispela serim aidentiti i mas stiaim pasin bilong yumi long pas gut wantaim narapela. Sapos wanpela Papa i adoptim yumi olgeta, orait yumi stap olsem ol brata na susa. Ol manmeri i fogivim ol i save givim fogivnes. Ol manmeri we ol i kisim ol i save kamapim ol spes bilong welkamim ol. Sios i kamap olsem wanpela laip ekspresen bilong famili bilong God long graun.
Bai i gat sampela taim we yumi pilim olsem yumi no inap o stap longwe. Long kain taim olsem, em i bikpela samting long go bek long ol promis bilong Skripsa. Stap bilong yumi olsem ol pikinini bilong God i no save senis wantaim ol filings bilong yumi. Em i stap gut long marimari bilong Em. Olsem Jon i raitim, “Yupela i mas lukim bikpela pasin laikim bilong Papa i soim yumi, na em i kolim yumi ol pikinini bilong God, na yumi stap olsem ol pikinini bilong God” (1 Jon 3:1).

Yumi ken i stap fri long olgeta de long kisim adoptim, amamas long kisim fogivnes, na bilip long kisim. Na taim yumi mekim, laip bilong yumi i ken witnesim gutpela King husat i bin welkamim yumi insait long famili bilong Em oltaim oltaim.

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.
 

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.

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!
