把他的故事变成我们的故事

我们相信，将祂的故事变成我们的故事至关重要。并非因为这个想法好，而是因为它改变了一切。在这个人们渴望意义、追逐点赞、地位和安全感的世界里，耶稣提供了截然不同的东西——一个更美好的故事。它不仅仅是一个让人相信的故事，更是一个值得我们活下去的故事。祂的故事不是睡前故事，而是真理，它需要回应。

耶稣来不是为了改善我们的生活——祂来是为了改变我们的生活。祂的生活并非安全或便利。祂介入困境，接触被遗忘者，以权柄说话，以大能爱人。祂被误解、被背叛、被钉在十字架上——然后祂复活了。这不仅是为了赢得一场属灵的争战，也是为了给我们一个新的开始。这不是虚构，也不是披着长袍的宗教。这是赤裸裸的、真实的、震撼人心的真理。重要的是，我们要将其变成我们自己的。

将祂的故事变成我们的故事，不仅仅是在教堂里点头附和。它仿佛在说：“耶稣，拿起笔来。” 这意味着我们不再试图成为自己剧本中的英雄，而是让祂引领我们。当我们这样做时，一切都会改变。骄傲让位于谦卑。苦毒融化为宽恕。恐惧被平安所掩盖。我们背负的十字架不仅仅是一个象征——我们把它融入到我们的生活中。

坦白说：随波逐流很容易，融入其中很容易。但跟随耶稣从来都不是安全的。祂呼召我们不是要我们寻求安慰。祂呼召我们顺服。当我们跟随祂——真正地跟随祂——我们就能找到生命。不仅仅是在天堂的某一天，而是就在这里，在学校的奔波中，在董事会会议中，在破碎的梦想中，在第二次机会中。祂的故事为我们的平凡生活带来光明，使平凡变得神奇。

是的，这需要付出代价。拒绝自我，接受基督，并非一个软弱的选择。但这是值得的。因为祂的故事讲述了绝望中的希望、混乱中的爱以及失败中的胜利。当我们让这个故事塑造我们时，我们不再追逐无法持久的事物，而是开始构建持久的事物。我们不仅仅是生存，我们闪耀光芒，全世界都见证了这一点。

英国不需要更多的宗教空谈。它需要的是像耶稣一样真实生活的人。在困境中宽恕的人。在别人不配得到的时候展现恩典的人。带着爱说出真理的人。付出多于索取的人。这样的故事才能引起关注。这就是耶稣所做的。当我们这样做时，人们会注意到。

福音不是生活的配菜。它就是生活。每一刻，每一个决定，每一次对话，都是一个大声活出祂故事的机会。并非完美无缺，而是有目的地活出。不是为了表演，而是为了反映祂。因为当耶稣活在我们里面时，祂的故事就会从我们身上流淌出来。

那么，这重要吗？当然重要。将祂的故事变成我们的故事，这是一种呼召。一种挑战。一种邀请。当我们答应时，我们便踏入了超越自我的境界。某种永恒的境界。有些东西在他人的生命中回响。他的故事，你的故事，我们的故事——交织着恩典，被爱驱动，充满希望。

Our church is a community of believers who regularly meet to share life and show 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 start each service with lively worship with songs from around the world, followed by inspired 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 for those 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.

We have plenty of parking spaces right outside the building. Spaces are reserved near the entrance for anyone with mobility problems (for 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, young and old, to join the service. We have Sunday School, which starts after worship and runs during the sermon for 30 to 40 minutes for 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 and fourth Sundays. If you want to get more acquainted, why not join us for a Sunday lunch with some of our members? The meal is on us! Please contact us and let us know. We would love to share a meal and get to know you better!
