“This is an exciting programme, isn’t it?” This is how Chief Apostle Schneider ended his latest sermon in Fellbach in Germany. And the points in this programme? These are the work of faith, the labour of love, and patience of hope.

The Chief Apostle described Joshua as a true servant of God and presented him as an example. Here is what this figure from the Old Testament can teach us about our 2023 motto: “Serving and reigning with Christ”.

Jesus Christ is the good shepherd. He knows His sheep, He provides for them and protects them, and ultimately He gave His life for them. The divine services in March take a slightly different course through the season of Lent which has just begun.

nac.photos is the name of a new media product by the New Apostolic Church International. This is also its weblink. The website shows how the balancing act of evangelising with the camera can succeed.

This is my church and I am proud to be part of it. This is how many New Apostolic Christians feel about their church and gladly share their faith by testifying of it in various ways and making it visible to other people.

“Serving and reigning with Christ” – that’s not easy to illustrate. Hundreds of young creative heads from India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka took on the challenge and presented a kaleidoscope of ideas.

He was a man of words and action. Who this was? District Apostle Karl Kühnle. Today he would have been one hundred years old. Today we pay tribute to a Swabian who set out to bring his faith to Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Arabian Peninsula.

“Fellowship of life with Christ” is the overarching theme of the Sunday services in February. And that means more than just leaving a little room in our lives for Jesus and His gospel. Fellowship with Christ fills our whole life—today and in future.

Divine service is an encounter with God and takes place within the assembled congregation: where possible, the faithful meet for worship and come together for Holy Communion. Where this is not possible, prayer, the sermon, and the benediction can also be experienced online.

Jesus can be experienced everywhere: in everyday life, in our congregation, in emergency situations—this is the message the divine services in January will convey. The sermons in January will look at the relationship that we believers have with our Lord Jesus Christ and explore it from different angles.

The year 2022 will go down into the New Apostolic history books. For the very first time, the Church has provided a doctrinal answer to a 160-year-old question. And the resulting decision will begin to take effect in the year 2023—when women will also be given the opportunity to be ordained into ministry.

Three years and 66 parts later… The series on the sacraments has given us a lot of food for thought on theology and history in general and on New Apostolic specialties in particular. As a final instalment, here is an overview with dozens of links.

It feels as though the war is closing in. Yet the people already have so little to live on. Despite their own hardship, however, the people in the Republic of Moldova are helping Ukrainian refugees in any way they can. This is the situation of the brothers and sisters whom the Chief Apostle will be visiting this weekend.

The old Adam: an old acquaintance from past sermons. But is this more than just an empty phrase? Who remembers what exactly this is all about? A fresh boost from a divine service with the Chief Apostle, including instructions.

Living by faith, not by sight. That was the subject of a divine service the Chief Apostle conducted in the Philippines recently. He used the example of the people of Israel to explain what exactly this means. .

Acknowledging, remembering, and appreciating the value: this is how gratitude works. And that is the answer to a question that is thousands of years old: “What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits toward me?” (Psalm 116: 12)

Apostle Albert Mendy died just a few days before his 44th birthday. That was exactly 20 years ago. Time to look back and pay tribute to the Apostle.

There is lots going on in the New Apostolic Church. This week’s focus is on the building of churches and apiaries, and the building of skills.
