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.

From the old to the new Adam, from the first human being to perfect human beings. The Chief Apostle traced this development in the divine service that marked the end of the District Apostle Meeting. The report will be published this evening. In advance, here are the sketchnotes.

The International District Apostle Meeting in Zurich, Switzerland, came to an end on Sunday with a divine service. Strictly speaking, the meeting consisted of a series of individual sessions.

Hearing the word of God and the absolution, receiving blessing, and worshipping God together… These are some the key elements of divine service. And all this is possible virtually, even during the pandemic.

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. .

For the longest time, part of our congregational and church life moved online because of COVID-19. Here is a look at some of the means used and what online offers were available and are still available this coming Sunday in terms of divine services.

What is ministry? How does it work? How does it relate to the person? This is what we have been discussing over the last 17 instalments of this series. Now we are moving on to look at who can carry a ministry. To find the right answer we need to look closely.

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.

A hundred years ago it would have been unthinkable: divine services via phone-in, on television, via satellite, or the internet. Today divine services are just a click away. Quite a lot of work goes into this to make it possible.

Understanding is better than listening and imitating. This is what Paul intimated to the Romans. He gave them a piece of advice: be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. The Chief Apostle explained what this means for us today.

In the month of November, the old church year comes to an end and a new one begins. The divine services this month will focus on our hope in Christ’s return and try to give a small glimpse of the glory of God.

Who knows what will happen the day after tomorrow? The pandemic has shaken up many plans. One thing, however, is sure and that is the possibility of joining online services again on Sunday.

It was like a jump into the deep end: this is how his career as a communicator began—even before he began to work for the Church. Peter Johanning has now retired as media officer.

Listen, recognise, and follow… Things can be that simple when you have the Good Shepherd who knows everyone and cares for everyone. Then the right path is self-explanatory.

“We will answer all your questions.” The New Apostolic Church is serious about its promise to ordain women. The fundamental teaching document is on its way. And meetings are starting to be offered at the local level.

The New Apostolic Church has been streaming divine services for 134 weeks now. Thousands join these online services, constituting the world’s largest congregation.
