Ran long resis bilong laip 

I gat sampela wik we Kristen laip i pilim olsem em i flai — lek i fres, lewa i pulap, prea i ron. I gat ol narapela wik we yu pilim olsem yu ran long 'treacle': wankain ves tripela de bihain long narapela, wanpela song bilong lotu we ol i singim hap aninit long win, na wanpela isi pen we i askim, mi wok long kamap long wanpela hap?
Tupela wantaim i hap bilong resis bilong laip. Skripsa i no bin giaman olsem i no olsem.

Paul i bin raitim stori long ran planti taim, na em i no bin mekim i luk olsem em i isi. "Yumi mas ran wantaim strongpela tingting long resis God i bin makim bilong yumi, na lukluk strong long Jisas, em i man bilong kirapim na mekim bilip i kamap gutpela olgeta, na em i bin karim hevi bilong diwai kros long amamas bilong em." (Hibru 12:1-2). Em i strongim ol Korin olsem, "Yupela i mas ran long rot bilong kisim prais." (1 Korin 9:24). Na klostu long pinis bilong laip bilong em em inap tok olsem, "Mi bin pait long gutpela pait, mi bin pinisim resis, mi bin holim bilip." (2 Timoti 4:7). Piksa i ran i go insait long Nupela Testamen, Kristen laip olsem wanpela longpela, tingting, na kos ron i go long Krais.

Tripela samting i stap ples klia insait long Hibru 12 long yumi long dispela wik.

Namba wan, em i wanpela resis - i no wanpela wokabaut. Pol i no bin salim Kristen laip olsem wanpela gutpela sia. Em i toktok long wok hat (Filipai 3:13-14) na stretim bodi (1 Korin 9:27). Taiet i no oltaim i feil; sampela taim em i evidens bilong ran. "Yumi no ken les long mekim gutpela pasin, long wanem, long taim stret bai yumi kisim kaikai sapos yumi no les." (Galesia 6:9).

Namba tu, em i makim bilong yu. God i save skelim na stretim resis bilong olgeta bilipman. "God i wokim yumi long han bilong em yet, na yumi stap insait long Krais Jisas bilong mekim ol gutpela wok, em God i bin redim yumi long mekim." (Efesus 2:10). Kos we i stap paslain long yu em i no bilong neiba bilong yu. Em i bilong yu, graun bilong yu, spit bilong yu, ol maunten bilong yu, pinis lain bilong yu. Pasin bilong skelim ol narapela em i wanpela bikpela stilman bilong pasin bilong sanap strong.

Namba tri, lukluk strong long Jisas. I no long rana i stap long fran, rana i stap baksait, ol manmeri, o sua bilong laspela lap. Pita i lainim dispela samting long wara: taim ai bilong em i lusim Jisas na i go long win, em i stat long go daun (Matyu 14:30). Taim lukluk bilong yumi i go long narapela hap, lek i save kamap hevi.

Orait, olsem wanem ol i save ran long resis? Tripela disiplin bilong wik i kam.

Putim hevi i go long sait. Hibru 12:1 i kolim tupela lain: "olgeta samting we i pasim rot na sin we i save pasim yu." I no olgeta hevi i gat sin, tasol olgeta hevi i save go isi. Ekstra komitmen. Rilesensip we i save pinis. Dispela belhat i stap inap planti yia. "Yupela i mas karim hevi bilong narapela narapela na fogivim narapela narapela." (Kolosi 3:13). Ol rana i no save ran long ol hevi kot.
Spid, noken spit. Kalsa i save givim prais long spit; kingdom i kamapim pasin. Sampela prut i nidim wanpela ful sisen, sampela taim wanpela ful laip. "Dispela man i bin kirapim dispela gutpela wok insait long yupela, em bai i pinisim dispela wok i go inap long de bilong Krais Jisas." (Filipai 1:6). Stap gut long liklik step bilong tude.

Ran wantaim. Dispela resis em bilong yu yet, tasol i no bilong yu yet. "Yumi mas tingim olsem wanem yumi ken kirapim narapela narapela long mekim pasin laikim na mekim gutpela pasin, na yumi no ken lusim pasin bilong bung wantaim." (Hibru 10:24-25). Long dispela as mipela i save bung, na mipela i save bung long ol liklik grup, na RCF i save bung long Virginia Lodge na Strodes long ol Sande, long pes na long intanet, long Egham, Runnymede, na ol narapela hap. Man i ran wanpela tasol i save ran hariap moa long wanem ol i ting.

Tok hait i stap hait insait long Hibru 12:2 em i olsem: Jisas i karim hevi bilong diwai kros "long amamas i stap long ai bilong em." Amamas bilong bihain taim i strongim pasin bilong sanap strong nau. Strong bilong ran tude i no kamap long rot bilong brukim tit, tasol em i kamap long amamas long pinis lain. "Ol liklik hevi bilong yumi na ol hevi bilong sotpela taim i wok long givim yumi wanpela glori i stap oltaim oltaim we i winim olgeta." (2 Korin 4:17).
Maski yu stap long wanem lap — flai o 'treacle' — harim dispela. Yu no stap bihain. Yu no diskwalifai. Yu stap long rot we ol i makim bilong yu, wantaim Painia bilong bilip i ran i go pas, planti witnes i amamas long yu (Hibru 12:1), na Bikpela i wet long lain.

Lasim rop. Putim i go daun. Lukluk i go antap. Yumi mas ran yet. Wantaim. Olgeta rot i go bek long haus.

Sunday Venue at Coopers Hall, Strodes College


 Prophetic word for students -

Our Sunday service starts at 11.00 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 on the first Sunday of each month and an All-Age All-Nation Service on the second. 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, 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 for coffee and prayer.
Our Sunday Service starts at 11:00 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? 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!
