You have living Apostles? How can you be sure? It was the Chief Apostle himself who raised these questions. Decisive indications are found in a letter. Answers from a fascinating divine service.

Some of the obstacles in our life of faith seem insurmountable. But with the help of God we can overcome them. How? The people of Israel demonstrated this when they conquered Jericho. Following is a four-step strategy.

Not every book is translated into hundreds of languages and is read year after year. But this author has made it, creating the basis for sermons that are practice-oriented.

Making deals with God? Degrading the Church to the level of a service provider? Making oneself the measure of all things? Who would do such things? They can happen more quickly than we think! Some eye-openers from a divine service with the Chief Apostle.

The New Apostolic Church witnessed an Apostle Meeting of a different kind at the start of this year’s Pentecost gathering in Frankfurt am Main. Instead of giving his usual keynote address, the Chief Apostle focused entirely on listening. And there was only one subject of discussion.

On site in Frankfurt: the Apostles have assembled from many countries of Europe. Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider has invited them for an Apostle Meeting and a Pentecost divine service—a rare celebration.

Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider recently invited all District Apostles and District Apostle Helpers to Zurich (Switzerland) for a session of the International District Apostle Meeting. In the divine service that he conducted on the occasion, he addressed the importance of the forgiveness of sins several times.

Pentecost is a very special feast for the New Apostolic Church—a kind of birthday celebration of the worldwide Church. Following are some highlights from four decades.

When the Chief Apostle visits a congregation, he is usually the only Chief Apostle there. Not so in the congregation of Nordheide. Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider celebrated the divine service while the retired Chief Apostle Wilhelm Leber played the organ—something rare indeed.

What is a spiritual ministry? And what is an organizational structure? Questions such as these were not only on the agenda of the recent District Apostles’ conference, but are also occupying the Apostles of the New Apostolic Church right around the globe.

The New Apostolic Church is starting a new project: every day starting 1 March 2016, it will share striking statements from sermons over social media. These will be published in German and English on neuapostolisch.de and newapostolic.org, as well as on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. Spearheading the project actively here is the New Apostolic Church of Northern Germany.

In all churches there are memorial ceremonies and services—defined to a greater or lesser extent—for loved ones who have passed away. Some Orthodox denominations celebrate with bread and cake at the grave. Other churches celebrate services of remembrance. The New Apostolic Church celebrates divine services for the departed three times each year.

Believers here gather for divine service in a stadium even during the rainy season. It is here that hundreds of believers receive the sacrament of Holy Sealing in the same divine service—and it is here that many have not yet seen the Chief Apostle. The latter will change this weekend.

A strong will to succeed will help us to secure many individual victories, District Apostle Rüdiger Krause of northern Germany writes in “Spotlight”. He tells us which fundamental attitude will help us win the race.

Victory with Christ—this also means fending off attacks on our faith. How does one arm oneself with truth against lies? It is actually very easy—following is a lesson in self-defence from a divine service by the Chief Apostle.

The Chief Apostle will be in the company of twenty Apostles and 14 Bishops this coming weekend. The journey is taking them to West Africa, right on the Atlantic. What is on the itinerary?

What do church districts and cars have in common? Both need a motor. This is something the Chief Apostle illustrated on his recent trip to Africa where he ordained a total of eleven new Apostles.

Already early on there were signs of an impending comeback. Prophecies that were uttered in Karlshuld, a small village in the south of Germany, blazed the trail for something that would happen a few years later in England: the re-establishment of the Apostle ministry.
