想象一下——保罗写给我们的信（在埃格姆）

致伊格姆的圣徒们——你们在自我效法的文化中，敢于追随耶稣——愿恩惠与平安从我们的父神和主耶稣基督归与你们。

我感谢神，赐予你们关于你们的每一段回忆。我看到你们的信心、你们的服侍、你们的牺牲——我为此欢欣喜乐。但我也看到你们的疲惫、你们的分心、你们的妥协。所以我写这封信，不仅是为了安慰，也是为了激励。不仅是为了肯定，也是为了唤醒。

你们的开端很好。你们喜乐地接受了福音，并在早期的试炼中站立得稳。但现在，亲爱的，战场已经转移。问题不再是你们能否开始，而是你们能否坚持到底。

让我坦白地说：太多人在随波逐流。太多人安于安全的宗教。太多人陷入肤浅的常规，忘记了耶稣呼召我们背起自己的十字架，而不仅仅是在周日出现。伊格姆的教会，现在不是消极信仰的时候。现在是站立、发光、发声的时候。

所以，我向你提出以下挑战：

1. 大声地去爱。
不是用情感，而是用牺牲。探望孤独的人。原谅你曾经放弃的人。邀请那些尴尬的人。服侍那些忘恩负义的人。选择更艰难的道路——这是十字架的道路。

2. 勇敢地生活。

不要再为真理道歉。毫不畏惧地宣告耶稣的名。世界不需要更多模糊的灵性——它需要的是清晰明确的福音。做盐。做光。不要再融入其中。

3. 接受不舒适。

摆脱便捷的基督教。禁食。祷告。早起寻求祂。奉献，直到付出代价。敞开你的家。比周日的微笑更深入。你的舒适区不是你的呼召。

4. 胸怀大志。
你得救不是为了生存——你得救是为了发光。你是天国的子民。所以要像天国的子民一样生活。不要让你的日程安排、你的金钱或你的媒体饮食更多地受世界而非圣经的影响。

5. 继续前行。
你尚未到达。我们谁也没有。不要停留在过去的顺服中。不要躲在美好的愿望背后。奔跑。战斗。努力奋斗。跌倒了，再爬起来。

对我来说，活着就是基督。句号。没有附加条件。没有半途而废。这就是呼召。这就是奖赏。其他一切——资历、舒适、名誉、宗教——与认识祂相比，都是损失。这是你的姿态吗？

我再告诉你一次：继续前行。忘记过去。停止重复你的错误。停止比较你的旅程。跑你的路程。抓住基督。让他抓住你。

实际的后续步骤：

本周：与一个人分享耶稣——而不是模糊的信仰。

今天：祈求上帝向你显明谁需要你的赦免。去做吧。

现在：设定一个与上帝相处的节奏，让你能够伸展自己。把它记在你的日历上。

本月：邀请某人到你家做客。展现出属天国的热情好客。

时刻：审视你的生活。它是否高呼“基督是王”？如果没有，那就做出改变。

你蒙召不是为了被人喜欢。你蒙召是要圣洁。你蒙召不是为了安全。你蒙召是要忠心。当你感到软弱时，善良——那正是恩典彰显其强大之处。

所以，闪耀吧，埃格姆。挺身而出。坚定站立。如果你必须跌倒，那就向前跌倒——投入基督的怀抱。

我怀着深情，而非奉承。带着喜悦，也带着迫切。愿圣灵的火在你的骨中燃烧，愿耶稣的名胜过一切声音。

愿我们主耶稣基督的恩典与你的灵同在，并激发你的行动。

在战斗中，
君王的仆人

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.
