A life worth living

A life worth living is one that draws us closer to God, deepening our relationship and dependence on Him. As we grow in our reliance on God, we come to understand that His will and desires for us far outweigh anything the world offers.

But what does it mean to live this kind of life?

Romans 12 offers insight. It’s a life that rejects what the world promotes and embraces what God offers through the grace of Jesus Christ.

Paul urges us to offer our bodies to God in response to all He has done for us. He challenges the idea of living for ourselves or pursuing personal happiness. Instead, he calls us to live for God because of His immense love and grace.

God delivered our ancestors from slavery in Egypt, and because of this, we are called to live for Him. God promised never to leave or forsake us, and we respond by giving ourselves fully to Him. He sent His son, Jesus Christ, to guide us to the Father, demonstrate obedience, take our sins, die on the cross, rise from the grave, and ascend to heaven, where He reigns with God the Father. In response, we are called to follow this path, led by the Holy Spirit, living our lives in obedience to God.

God has touched each of us—comforting, healing, and even correcting us—and in return, we’re called to offer our lives as a living witness to the Risen Lord working through us.

God doesn’t want just a portion of us—He desires all of us. This isn’t about giving God what we think is enough. He wants every part of us—our personal lives and how we engage with the world—to be surrendered to Him as an act of obedience, in gratitude for all He’s done. Every aspect of our lives—what we do, who we are, and what we desire—should honor the Lord who loves us and seeks the best for us.

A life worth living is one where every part is devoted to God. This is the holy, acceptable sacrifice that pleases Him. It’s a life where our families, careers, passions, energies, and interactions with others are all surrendered to God. It’s a life that allows the Holy Spirit to work in and through us, proclaiming Christ’s name and making a difference in the world.

When we give our whole lives to Christ, we discover the essence of worship. Worship isn’t confined to a Sunday service; it’s a lifestyle. Every moment has the potential to be an act of worship, and we’re encouraged to make it a daily part of our lives, turning everything we do into praise for the Lord.

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.
