世界需要你，上帝需要你

你有没有觉得自己微不足道？也许你问过自己，“我能带来什么改变？”这个问题在某个时刻悄悄地潜入了我们所有人的心中。在这个经常庆祝最响亮的声音、最受关注的影响者和最引人注目的头条新闻的世界里，你很容易觉得自己的生活很渺小，你的贡献并不重要。但让我明确地说：世界需要你。上帝需要你。不只是你的想法，或者你认为你应该成为的完美版本——而是你，现在的你。

这是贯穿圣经的真理。上帝总是利用普通人做不平凡的事情。摩西有口吃。大卫是家里最小的孩子，被大家忽视。以斯帖是一个在错误的时间出现在错误地点的年轻女子——至少看起来是这样。门徒呢？一群由渔夫、税吏和无名小卒组成的乌合之众。然而，上帝说：“我想要你。”他没有等他们被打磨，没有等他们理清神学，也没有等他们齐心协力。他呼唤他们，因为他知道他们尚未意识到的事情——他们被造是有目的的。

你也是。

你看，上帝创造了你，独一无二，刻意而又无微不至。你不是意外或巧合。诗篇 139 告诉我们，我们是“可畏而奇妙的造物”，上帝在我们母亲的子宫里把我们编织在一起。你可能会想，“好吧，我把事情搞砸了”，或者“我没有特别的天赋”，但好消息是，上帝对你生命的呼唤不是基于你的完美——而是基于他的爱。而那爱是永恒的、不可动摇的、永不失败的。

这个世界充满了受伤的人。有些人在寻找希望、寻找意义，寻找有人能简单地看到他们。而你在这里——充满了故事、教训、天赋、经历，甚至伤痕，上帝可以利用它们将光明带入黑暗的地方。你可能没有平台，但你有存在感。你可能不出名，但你可以忠诚。正是这些小事，往往被忽视，带来了最强大的改变。一双倾听的耳朵。一句善言善语。一个小小的慷慨行为。拒绝参与八卦。这些都是爱的种子，会长成参天大树。

耶稣没有说，“去在社交媒体上吸引粉丝。”他说，“去培养门徒。”门徒训练从简单地出现开始。在场。好好爱。说真话。以一种让人们提出问题的方式正直和善良地生活。我们不需要引人注目；我们需要屈服。当我们屈服时，上帝会做剩下的事情。

你可能会想，“上帝肯定不需要我。”但上帝以他的智慧和恩典选择通过我们来工作。圣经说我们是基督的使者，仿佛上帝通过我们发出呼吁。这是一个令人难以置信的想法，不是吗？宇宙之神正在通过你接触人们。通过你的微笑。通过你的故事。通过你的时间和注意力。

在以弗所书 2:10 中，保罗提醒我们，我们是上帝的作品，是在基督耶稣里创造的，为要行善，就是上帝预先为我们预备的。这意味着你的生命有意义。不是某一天，当一切都安排好的时候——而是今天。现在。在你的工作场所、你的街道、你的家庭、你的友谊、你的教堂、你的社区。问题不在于上帝是否能利用你。问题是——你愿意吗？

所以不要相信你的生命不重要的谎言。不要相信你一无所长的神话。你被召唤。你被选中。你被装备好了——不是靠你自己的力量，而是靠住在你里面的上帝之灵。世界需要只有你才能带来的东西。上帝——以他惊人的爱——选择了你成为他展开的故事的一部分。

所以继续吧。勇敢地生活。深爱。善言善语。充分信任。世界需要你。上帝需要你。无论你是否感觉到，你都已经准备好了。

今天就去做出改变吧

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.

Driving and Car Parking

Our Sunday Morning Service is now held at Strodes College, Strodes College Lane, Egham, TW20 9DR, which has plenty of Parking. Click on the link for directions to RCF.

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!
