赋予生活力量

被圣灵赋予力量，让祂的国度住在你心中，这不仅仅是一种远观的理想，更是每日的邀请，邀请我们参与基督亲自体现的神圣生命。神的国不在于外在的标志或宗教仪式——而是一个活生生的现实，住在我们里面。耶稣在路加福音17:21中说：“神的国就在你们心里。” 这真理既令人震惊，又切身相关。这意味着基督的统治和掌权始于人的内心，并非在遥远的天堂或未来的时间线，而是在此时此地，借着圣灵的力量。

圣灵赋予我们力量，不仅仅是为了外在的事奉或可见的大能彰显——尽管这些都是真实的——而是在内心深处，在别人看不见的地方开始祂的工作。神的国首先在内心的隐秘处扎根。保罗在罗马书14:17中写道：“神的国不在乎吃喝，只在乎公义、和平，并圣灵中的喜乐。”这些不仅仅是道德理想，更是藉着圣灵内住的同在，天堂的氛围渗入我们的生命。

让祂的国度住在我们心中意味着臣服。这意味着放弃自我的宝座，让耶稣坐上祂应有的君王之位，不仅是在我们主日的权柄下，也在我们的动机、思想和渴望中。圣灵的赋能并非在于使我们自身变得刚强，而是在于顺服于一种并非我们自身的力量。正如保罗在加拉太书2:20中提醒我们的那样：“我已经与基督同钉十字架，现在活着的不再是我，乃是基督在我里面活着。” 圣灵的赋能不仅仅是提升我们与生俱来的能力；更是耶稣复活的生命在我们里面活出、运行，从内而外地改变我们。

当神的国度活在你心中时，它会改变你看待一切事物的方式。你会开始意识到每一次对话、每一刻都是神圣的。你看待人不是通过肉体的眼睛，而是通过君王的眼睛。怜悯在审判之地涌流。怜悯在骄傲之地兴起。你开始拥有祂的心，而不仅仅是祂的名。

圣灵在困惑之处带来清晰，在徘徊之处带来目标。耶稣在约翰福音16:13中应许说：“只等真理的圣灵来了，他要引导你们明白（原文作明白）一切的真理。” 这引导不是机械的，而是关系性的。圣灵教导我们如何像耶稣一样与神同行——倾听、分辨、回应——不是出于义务，而是出于爱。祂不仅引导我们进入天国的工作，也引导我们走君王的道路。

我们不仅仅是祂田地里的工人——我们是天国的儿女。罗马书8:14宣告：“因为凡被神的灵引导的，都是神的儿子。” 这种身份不是靠我们的表现赢得的，而是通过我们的关系获得的。正是从这种儿子的身份、这种与神同在的状态中，真正的赋能才会涌现。这不是为了努力变得属灵；而是降服于那位圣灵。

天国的生活并非易事，但它以平安为标志。平安并非指没有冲突，而是君王的同在。腓立比书4:7提到“神所赐出人意外的平安”，保守我们的心怀意念。这平安是圣灵同在的标志。它使我们在世界震动时站立得稳，在别人憎恨时爱人，在别人绝望时盼望盼望。

被圣灵充满，心中常存祂的国度，并非属灵精英的崇高愿望——而是每个信徒的基业。这是正常的基督徒生活。这是耶稣为之舍命赐下的生命，圣灵被差遣来保守。这是与父亲密的生命，由子塑造，并由圣灵赋能。

所以今天，深呼吸。重新降服。让神的国在你心中兴起——不是靠势力，不是靠能力，而是靠祂的灵。愿你的生活从内到外都体现出他的统治之美。

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.
