Strong na As bilong Diwai Kros tude 

Diwai diwai kros i sanap long namel bilong histori na long as bilong bilip bilong yumi. Em i no wanpela mak tasol long wol bilong sios o wanpela 'pendant' long nek. Em i bikpela wok bilong God insait long Krais, taim we heven i kam insait long graun wantaim lav bilong kisim bek yumi. Tu tausen yia bihain, strong na as tingting bilong diwai kros i stap yet. Tru tumas, long taim bilong wari, paul tingting na pasin bilong no klia, ating wok bilong en i kamap ples klia moa yet.

Taim Jisas i go long Kalvari, Em i no pundaun long hevi. Luk i raitim olsem "em i tingting long i go long Jerusalem" (Luk 9:51). Diwai kros i no wanpela aksiden bilong politiks o wanpela rong kalkulesen bilong strateji. Em i plen bilong God we i no save pinis. Skripsa i tokim yumi olsem Krais em i “Pikinini Sipsip ol i bin kilim i dai long taim graun i kamap yet” (Revelesen 13:8). Dispela i min olsem diwai kros em i bekim bilong God long hevi bilong ol manmeri. Sin i bin brukim pasin bilong yumi long bung wantaim Em, long wanem, "olgeta manmeri i bin mekim sin na ol i no inap long kisim biknem bilong God" (Rom 3:23), na maski yumi mekim wok bilong lotu o pasin bilong bihainim gutpela pasin, dispela i no inap long pasim dispela hevi. Diwai diwai kros tasol inap long mekim samting we yumi no inap long mekim.

Long diwai kros, yumi lukim holi pasin na lav bilong God i stap wanbel tru. God i no save rausim sin. Em i no save daunim ol standet bilong Em long inapim ol wiknes bilong yumi. Pol i raitim olsem God i givim Krais olsem "sakrifais bilong rausim sin" bilong soim stretpela pasin bilong Em (Rom 3:25-26). Sin i kisim kot ful na las tru insait long bodi bilong Jisas Krais. Tasol long dispela pasin bilong skelim man, pasin laikim i win, long wanem, “God i soim pasin laikim bilong em yet long yumi long dispela rot: Taim yumi stap sinman yet, Krais i dai bilong helpim yumi” (Rom 5:8). Profet Aisaia i bin luksave long dispela samting planti handet yia i go pinis: “Ol i bin sutim em long ol sin bilong yumi, na ol i bin bagarapim em long ol rong bilong yumi, na em i bin givim bel isi long yumi” (Aisaia 53:5). Dispela em i senis long bikpela mak bilong en. Em i no pasin bilong pilim hevi. Em i wanpela marimari we i gat bikpela pe.

Strong bilong diwai kros tude i stap pastaim long strong bilong en long sevim man. Dispela toksave i no senis. Pol i tokaut olsem, "mipela i save autim tok bilong Krais we ol i bin nilim em long diwai kros" (1 Korin 1:23), na em i tingting strong long noken save long wanpela samting "tasol long Jisas Krais na em i bin nilim em long diwai kros" (1 Korin 2:2). Yumi no kisim bek long rot bilong stretim yumi yet, wok strong, o ol ekspiriens bilong spirit we i stap longwe long tok tru. Yumi kisim bek long blut bilong Krais. "Long blut bilong em, God i kisim bek yumi, na God i fogivim sin bilong yumi" (Efesus 1:7). Taim wanpela man i kam insait long tanim bel na bilip, na i no trastim stretpela pasin bilong em yet tasol long wok bilong Em i pinis, dispela wok i kamap hariap na i stap oltaim oltaim. "Olsem na nau i no gat kot bai painim ol manmeri i pas wantaim Krais Jisas" (Rom 8:1). Diwai diwai kros i save mekim ol man i no bihainim God i kamap stretpela man yet.

Tasol diwai kros i no bringim yumi i go insait long Kingdom tasol. Em i save stiaim hau yumi stap insait long en. Jisas i tok, “Man i laik kamap disaipel bilong mi, em i mas lusim laik bilong em yet na karim diwai kros bilong en long olgeta de na bihainim mi” (Luk 9:23). Dispela i no wanpela singaut long lukluk gut long yu yet. Em i wanpela invitesen long dai long yu yet bai Krais i ken i stap laip long rot bilong yumi. Pol i ken tok olsem, "Mi bin nilim mi wantaim Krais long diwai kros, na mi no stap laip moa, tasol Krais i stap laip insait long mi" (Galesia 2:20). Insait long wanpela kalsa we i tingim pasin bilong tokaut long yu yet na pasin bilong yu yet antap long olgeta narapela samting, diwai kros i singautim yumi long givim yumi yet. Em i bungim pasin antap bilong yumi. Em i salensim laik bilong yumi long bosim ol autkam. Em i singautim yumi long trastim gutpela tingting na strong bilong God maski pasin bilong bihainim tok i kostim yumi.

Long mipela long Runnymede Kristen Felosip, we i stap insait long wanpela gutpela na kain kain komyuniti, diwai kros i makim witnes bilong mipela. Mipela i no save tokaut long mipela yet. Olsem Pol i raitim, "mipela i no autim tok bilong mipela yet, tasol Jisas Krais em i Bikpela" (2 Korin 4:5). Ol manmeri i stap klostu long yumi i no bilip long lotu, tasol ol i hangre yet long kisim trupela lav na hop we i no inap senis. Jisas i tok, "Sapos yupela i laikim narapela narapela, orait olgeta manmeri bai i save olsem yupela i disaipel bilong mi" (Jon 13:35). Taim yumi soim pasin daun bilong diwai kros, taim yumi fogivim olsem ol i bin fogivim yumi, taim yumi mekim wok na yumi no laik kisim han, yumi mekim strong bilong Kalvari i kamap ples klia long laip bilong yumi long olgeta de.

As tingting bilong diwai kros em i bilong kamapim bel isi tu. "God i mekim olgeta manmeri bilong graun i kamap wanbel wantaim em yet long rot bilong Krais" (2 Korin 5:19). Dispela 'reconciliation' em i sanap stret na i go daun. Pol i kirapim tingting bilong yumi olsem Krais "em i bel isi bilong yumi... na em i bagarapim banis bilong pasin birua... long rot bilong rausim lo wantaim ol tok bilong en" (Efesus 2:14-15). Insait long wanpela sosaiti we i bruk bruk na i gat planti hevi na tingting nogut, diwai kros em i wanpela gutpela as bilong pasin wanbel. Mipela i sanap long gutpela graun long as bilong en. I no gat wanpela bilong yumi i gat as long hambak. Yumi olgeta i dipen long marimari.

I gat tu wanpela samting bilong yumi yet we yumi no ken lusim tingting long en. Diwai diwai kros i toktok long ol hait pret na ol rigret bilong yumi. Em i tokim yumi olsem yumi gat planti sin moa long wanem yumi bin tok orait long en, tasol ol i laikim yumi moa long wanem yumi bin tingim. "Nau i no gat kot bai painim ol manmeri i pas long Krais Jisas" (Rom 8:1), na i no gat wanpela samting "bai inap long rausim yumi long lav bilong God we i stap insait long Krais Jisas Bikpela bilong yumi" (Rom 8:39). Dispela paradoks i save daunim na apim yumi long wankain taim. Em i friim yumi long hatwok bilong traim long soim yumi yet. Value bilong yumi i stap long Calvary. Bihain taim bilong yumi i stap gut long wanpela matmat i stap nating.

Long pinis, diwai kros i strongim hop bilong yumi. Man i raitim pas bilong ol Hibru i strongim yumi long lukluk strong long Jisas, "em i karim hevi bilong diwai kros, na em i no laikim sem bilong en" (Hibru 12:2). De we i tudak tru long histori i kamap olsem dua bilong kirap bek. Taim yumi bungim ol traim, bel hevi o lus, yumi lukluk gen long diwai kros na tingim olsem God inap long bringim as tingting bilong kisim bek yumi long taim yumi luk olsem yumi lus. Bihain long diwai kros, glori i kamap. Olsem tasol ol hevi bilong yumi nau bai givim rot long amamas i stap oltaim oltaim.

Strong na as tingting bilong diwai kros tude i no ol samting we i no gat as bilong en tasol em i samting tru. Ol i singautim yumi long bilip, long tanim bel, long pasin daun, long strongpela bel na long lav. Taim yumi tokaut long Krais i bin nilim em long diwai kros na kirap bek, yumi no painim tasol fogivnes bilong bipo tasol yumi painim tu pasin bilong nau na promis bilong bihain taim bilong yumi. Yumi no ken lusim diwai kros, long wanem, em hia yumi painim laip long olgeta fulnes bilong en.

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.

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?
