Doing good makes people happy! (1) A year full of small acts of kindness

“It’s time to do good!” Our 2025 motto inspired brothers and sisters around the world. Over the past year, the congregation of Schwäbisch Hall in Germany focused on one particular aspect of our 2025 motto and organised activities around it—and did good.

Homiletics (9): Understanding the message and the congregation

Before something can be said, it need’s to be understood. From now on, the series will show how ministers can study and lay open the main message, grasp the deeper meaning, and then deliver it in such a way that it touches people’s hearts.

Are Christians or children of God a fan club or a group of people who share the same interests? They are much more than that, the Chief Apostle says, citing the two miracles that connect them all to one another.

Why Jesus continues to make people feel uncomfortable

When a mission becomes a brand and faith becomes a success story, you lose sight of the cross. But Jesus reminds us in an unnerving kind of way that love is not measured by how many people have been exposed to it, but by true discipleship.

What kind of subjects are addressed in a divine service for ministers? Well, here it was about 250 kilos of silver—but differently than one might think. The sermon was not a presentation about positive financial results but took a close look at faithfulness. For anyone wishing to hear it: it’s encouraging.
