活出复活之人的生命

活出复活的生命，并非仅仅是我们每年庆祝一次的神学理念；它更是我们每日思考、领导、服事和行事方式的根本所在。耶稣的复活不仅证明了死后生命的存在，更宣告了一种死前就已存在的全新生命。保罗写道：“你们既与基督一同复活，就当求在上面的事”（歌罗西书 3:1），他并非在用比喻，而是在用实际行动。活出复活的生命，其中心截然不同。我们的身份不再由恐惧、匮乏或失望塑造，而是由基督的得胜所成就。空坟墓重塑了一切。失败不再是终结，软弱不再是淘汰，黑暗不再是永恒。

活出复活的生命，意味着我们将盼望带入平凡的日常。我们走进工作场所、家庭和社区，不再是挣扎求生，而是已经扎根于得胜之中。彼得提醒我们，“他藉着耶稣基督从死里复活，重生了我们，使我们有活泼的盼望”（彼得前书 1:3）。这盼望是活泼的，因为基督活着。它能驱散沮丧，抚慰迷茫，并在看似无法改变的境况中使我们稳固。复活的生命大多时候并不张扬或戏剧化；它往往是默默的韧性、耐心的信心和坚定的爱，即便在其他人早已放弃之时，我们依然坚守。

复活之人对待他人的方式也截然不同。因为我们已领受生命，我们也成为生命的给予者。我们更容易饶恕，更用心鼓励，更乐意服侍。保罗写道：“所以，我们藉着洗礼归入死，和他一同埋葬，原是叫我们一举一动有新生的样式，像基督从死里复活一样”（罗马书 6:4）。这新生体现在态度的转变上。苦毒让位于恩典，焦虑让位于信靠，自我保护让位于慷慨。复活重塑了我们的本能。我们开始在日常交往中反映出复活基督的品格。

复活的生命也赋予我们勇气。早期的门徒从闭门独处走向公开见证，正是因为他们遇见了复活的主。那位使耶稣复活的圣灵，如今也赋予今天的信徒力量。保罗宣告：“我渴望认识基督，并且认识他复活的大能”（腓立比书 3:10）。这大能并非仅仅是神迹般的介入，而是赐予我们坚持的力量、勇敢传讲真理的勇气以及谦卑服侍他人的谦卑。复活的生命并非因为生活安逸而无所畏惧，而是因为基督活着。

活出复活的生命也改变了我们看待未来的方式。我们不再漫无目的地漂泊，也不再对世事感到绝望。我们满怀信心地盼望未来。复活是初熟的果子，是神更新万物的开始。因为耶稣活着，我们才将精力投入到真正重要的事上。我们建立社群，追求公义，分享福音，并以舍己的爱去爱，因为我们知道，在基督里所做的一切都不会徒劳。正如保罗总结道：“你们务要坚固，不可动摇，常常竭力多做主工，因为知道你们在主里的劳苦不是徒然的。”（哥林多前书 15:58）

作为基督徒，活出复活的生命意味着充满盼望、信心和爱。这意味着带着期待祷告，带着怜悯服侍，带着恩典接纳他人。这意味着相信，在失去的地方，神仍然赐予生命；在沉重的地方，神仍然赐予喜乐；在迷茫的地方，神仍然赐予意义。复活不仅是我们所宣告的，更是我们所活出的。因为基督复活了，我们的生命也因此而不同。因为基督活着，我们的服侍也因此不同。因为坟墓空了，复活的耶稣仍然与我们同行，我们的盼望也因此不同。

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!
