The Chief Apostle is almost cheerful as he faces the camera, delivering his New Year’s address. He is on his home stretch, and this is his last address. Observations from twelve years.

True hope purifies, provides guidance, and leads us closer to Christ. With step-by-step instructions, the Chief Apostle explains how sanctification works.

Those who take an interest in the gospel discover the love of Jesus, which carries us through all challenges. If we follow Him, His love will free us from fear and unite us.

Defenceless among predators: such is the situation of Christians. And this is how Christ Himself described it. But He also shows us the way through and out.

“We ask for blessing and hope.” These were the Chief Apostle’s farewell words in Gqeberha in 2015. Now he is coming back for another visit, and there is excitement everywhere. 

Everything old is no longer valid! God’s message breaks with tradition and challenges us. Those who dare can recognise the radical newness of the gospel. 

Those who walk with the Lord do not walk alone. That is the message of the song “When We Walk with the Lord” performed here at the retirement of District Apostle Mark Woll (Canada).

“This will not be to everyone’s liking,” the Chief Apostle said at the beginning of the divine service. Here is why Christians can and must be open about their faith today.

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.

“The man with the big heart.” His heart was at home everywhere. District Apostle Helper Frank Dzur (Canada) has retired. His life was one of dedication, loyalty, kindness, and benevolence.

District Apostle Mark Woll (Canada) cared for congregations on several continents—and he shaped generations. On the occasion of the District Apostle’s retirement, the Chief Apostle said thank you on behalf of the Church. 

The world – full of instability and fluctuations. How can we find a firm foundation of peace and security? Here is clear guidance from the Chief Apostle.

Someone is knocking on your heart’s door: Jesus Christ sends you out to share His love and to combat fear and loneliness. Go and spread it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and be there for others.

Lost, frightened, and disoriented. This is how many people experience the present. But God sees all of this. And He calls out to us, “I have a solution.” Here is the video from a divine service.
