Hospitality, community spirit, and trust in God—this is how the New Apostolic Church is developing in Senegal, where the Chief Apostle will be this weekend.

Faith is not an end in itself. God has sent every believer out to share their love with others and make it tangible. How? Actually, we already know. Are we making any progress? Here is a divine service to help us look inward.

Idol worship, a Pharisaic mindset, or belief in Christ? The answer to a simple question reveals where we stand. The Chief Apostle explains what really counts.

Why does God allow weeds in His wheat field? The parable is an image of the church of Christ.  And the answer to the question contains three tasks for every believer. Here is more on this subject from the Chief Apostle. 

Hardly anything is known about the disciples of Emmaus. Coincidence? Not so, says the Chief Apostle. There is a message behind this—it is a message of love that never overlooks anyone. A divine service excerpt in moving letters… 

Poverty, ingratitude, rejection: Jesus knows the struggles of believers because He has experienced them Himself. And that is why He can help anyone who follows in His footsteps and keeps at it. 

“Let us not get stuck in traditions, but truly live our faith! Such was the appeal of the Chief Apostle. In a recent divine service he summed up what this really entails.

Salvation is more than merely an escape from suffering—Chief Apostle Schneider calls upon readers to actively prepare for the return of Christ and warns against withdrawal, self-deception, and spiritual minimalism.

Comfort—at first this sounds like a response to tears. But divine comfort is much greater than that, as Chief Apostle Schneider explains. God gives us His word that He is there for us, that He knows us, that He loves us, and that He is with us—no matter the situation in which we find ourselves.

Rather than demand our silent devotion, Jesus wants us to act: let us go out, testify, and help others. Those who merely pray without taking action have failed in their mission. Chief Apostle Schneider calls for transformation.

Absolute defeat turned out to be the greatest victory of all. And this has implications far beyond the here and now: in order not to die, one must live for it. The Chief Apostle explained what this means in a divine service in Australia.

During the celebration of Holy Communion, Jesus Christ is in the midst of the congregation as the crucified, risen, and returning Lord. What sounds so theological was made tangible by the Chief Apostle on Pentecost.

The decibels just rushed through the rows, but the locally reinforced Youth Celebration Choir could also sing softly. Here is the song “Lord, I stretch my hands to You” from the Pentecost service 2025 to enjoy again and again.

Not power, but love and closeness to others: In the first interview, the Chief Apostle Helper shows how he thinks, feels - and believes.

Pentecost 2025, a divine service that will not be easily forgotten. And here are the memories for the photo album.

Knowing the truth and living truthfully: this was the call made by the Chief Apostle and his new assistant during the 2025 Pentecost service in Wiesbaden, Germany.
