Heaven is where Christ is

The descent into Hades and the ascension into heaven—both events are recorded in Holy Scripture. And both events have stirred up theological controversy to this day. Unfortunately, neither of them is well understood—and yet their significance is clear!

The merit of Jesus, our reward

The Bible talks about reward, but none of us can do anything to earn this reward. So how does this fit together? It’s actually very simple: the merit is Jesus’ alone. And He shares out the reward to those who follow Him. Thoughts from a divine service by the Chief Apostle.

A mama for all

Not only her own large family call her Mama Rose. The members of the Calgary-Chestermere congregation (Canada) also affectionately know her by this name. They appreciate the caring nature and self-sacrificing commitment of Sister Rose Kamwanji Ndumbi (62).

Retirement after exactly 45 years

There are times when life presents one with some astonishing coincidences: this Sunday, 22 May 2022, District Apostle Wolfgang Nadolny will retire from active ministry. It was on exactly the same day 45 years before that he received his first ministry in the Church.

Where two or three gather…

…I am there with them. This is what Jesus promises all those who take part in a divine service—whether online or in person in their congregation.

When the form of divine service changed

A church? Well, it was rather two centres with very different cultures. One man brought the two ends together and laid many additional foundations. Friedrich Wilhelm Menkhoff was called as an Apostle 150 years ago.

“Do not hinder me!”

Apostle Albert Güldenpfennig passed away a hundred years ago, on 13 May 1922. He was the 33rd Apostle in the New Apostolic Church and always there for his flock. Join us as we pay tribute to the Apostle by looking at his eventful life.

Thinking, feeling, and speaking clearly

Clarify things between the two of you, just you and God, openly and honestly without any go-betweens. You will find what you have lost. This is the invitation the Chief Apostle extended recently, not because he is paid to do it, but out of love.

The Chief Apostle in the land of 839 languages

A 34-year-old man from Bosnia speaks 73 languages, a language service agency claims. But even with such an amazing talent one could not communicate with all the people in Papua New Guinea. Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider decided to opt for the language of the heart.

To live like Christ lives!

“Easter reminds us: ‘Brother, sister, don’t worry, the Lord is here!’” This is the summary of Chief Apostle Schneider’s Easter message for 2022. The divine service took place in Bünde (Germany).

Walking the path together

It began with positive steps towards one another that developed into a common path forward. Much has happened since the ecumenical work of the New Apostolic Church started 22 years ago. One of the initiators who has done a lot of work in this area has now stepped down.

A season of joy

The effects of Easter still feel very real. The joy over the resurrection of Jesus is still the focus of our faith life. Sunday’s service will also concentrate on this.

God’s great love and our response to it

The sacrifice of Jesus, as cruel as it was, shows God’s unconditional love for His children. And the best way for the believers to respond is to love back. That was the content of the Chief Apostle’s sermon on Good Friday.

Unleashing the potential of young people

Whether young people do something for the congregation or something is done for them, they are important because they are the future of the Church.

God is everywhere

The pandemic is still keeping many members from coming back to worship in their congregations. Yet they can receive the word of God. For God’s word easily reaches beyond the four walls of a church building.

Seven angles of looking at the cross

Recognising that you need help and knowing who can help is a good start to solving a problem—and even more so the basis for eternal redemption. Yet there are even more useful ways of looking up to the cross.

Spotlight 6/2022: Together at the table of the Lord

It is a beautiful picture: Jesus is sitting at the table with His disciples and passes the cup to His neighbour, who passes it on to his neighbour, and so on until all have drunk from it. For District Apostle Mark Woll from Canada this is a concrete idea that is connected to our motto for 2022.

Death and life

Life is followed by death. Jesus reversed this equation. A few days after His death, He came back alive. An apparent defeat became a victory.

“I have never enjoyed going to school on a Saturday that much.” This is how Chief Apostle Schneider said goodbye to the congregation of Ho in Ghana, where he had conducted a divine service in the assembly hall of Mawuli School.

“The Lord is risen indeed!”

The Passiontide, with the death of the Lord on Good Friday, ends magnificently in the resurrection of the Lord. This is the fundamental belief of all Christians. But why is this day of the resurrection so important for us?

“And God saw the light, that it was good”

Light is life—and truth—and goodness in general: no other physical phenomenon shines so deeply into the human soul. How a simple image can shed light on the divine—illuminated for us on the international Day of Light this 16th day of May.
