有效地践行你的信仰

停留在理论层面的信心根本就不是信心。圣经呼召我们要有聆听、相信、然后行动的信心。在路加福音10:38-42中，当马大忙于各种事务时，马利亚选择坐在耶稣脚前。耶稣称赞她选择了“那一件必需的事”。将你的信心付诸行动，就从这里开始——不是匆匆忙忙地为上帝做事，而是停下来聆听祂的话语。信心诞生于亲密的关系中。希伯来书11:1-3告诉我们，信是“所盼望之事的实底，是尚未看见之事的确据”。这意味着我们行动不是因为环境合理，而是因为上帝已经说话了。人非有信，就不能得祂的喜悦（希伯来书11:6）；我们的行动必须出于信靠，而不是焦虑或自力更生。

义人因信而生（希伯来书10:38）。这不是一种被动的姿态，而是一种果断的生活方式。保罗在哥林多后书5:17提醒我们，在基督里的人都是新造的人。用行动表达信心意味着活出我们如今成为的样子，而不是我们曾经的样子。耶稣在约翰福音14:23中说，我们若爱祂，就必遵守祂的道，这样，父与子就必与我们同在。这绝非小事：神在信徒里面的同在，既是一切信心行为的源头，也是维持信心行为的动力。

耶稣在马太福音6:9-13教导我们祷告时，祂为我们提供了一个框架，教导我们如何活出积极倚靠父神、尊崇祂的名、顺服祂的旨意、信靠祂的供应、行在赦免之中、并倚靠祂从凶恶中得救。祷告是行动中的信心。但在马太福音17:14-21中，门徒无法赶出污鬼，暴露了信仰与行动之间的差距。耶稣指出他们的不信，并告诉他们，有些胜利只有通过祷告和禁食才能获得。付诸行动的信心蕴含着深刻的意义，它需要的不仅仅是快速的祷告；它要求我们自律地寻求神。

诗篇34:1-4呼吁我们时时称颂耶和华，尊祂为大。赞美是付诸行动的信心的一种形式，因为它在环境改变之前就宣告神的伟大。大卫在撒母耳记上17:45-51中面对歌利亚时明白了这一点。他没有依靠人的武器，而是“奉万军之耶和华的名”而来。他的言行源于对神圣约应许的信心。信心的行动基于神是谁，而不是挑战的大小。

以弗所书2:6说，我们与基督一同坐在天上。那是我们权柄的地位，但罗马书12:1-2提醒我们，我们必须将自己献上当作活祭，并借着心意更新而变化。没有顺服的权柄会导致妄自尊大。在路加福音4:4-10中，耶稣面对试探时，祂挥舞着神的话语作为祂的武器。将你的信心付诸行动意味着要深入理解祂的话语，以至于它能够塑造你的思想，引导你的决定，并抵挡仇敌的谎言。

神在1:9-10中告诉耶利米，祂已将祂的话放在他口中，要拔根栽种。除非我们与神同行（阿摩司书3:3），否则我们无法凭信心行事。彼得在马太福音16:16中承认耶稣是基督，这是耶稣应许在其上建立教会的磐石。这启示带来了权柄：在马太福音18:18-20中，祂宣告：我们在地上所捆绑的，在天上也要捆绑；我们所释放的，在天上也要释放。这权柄在奉祂的名合一的地方发挥最大的功效。

保罗在以弗所书6:10-18总结说，我们要靠着主刚强，穿戴神所赐的全副军装——真理、公义、预备、信心、救恩、神的话语和祷告。这军装并非装饰，而是要用在刀刃上。践行你的信心意味着在受到攻击时坚定站立，在谎言环绕时说出真理，在感到无力时祷告，并且拒绝退缩。

信心不仅仅是相信神能做到——而是活出祂已经说话、已经得胜、已经装备你的样子。有效地践行你的信心，就是像马利亚一样听祂的话，像大卫一样相信祂，像耶稣教导的那样祷告，穿上祂的军装，预备好行祂为你预备的一切善工。

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.

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!
