No one is immune to it. Everyone who takes on a ministry or a task in the Church appreciates some kind of gratitude or recognition. But when positive reactions fail to materialise, the only true motivation becomes apparent.

Twenty years ago today, Chief Apostle Richard Fehr handed over the ministry to his successor. In a video interview later, Chief Apostle Wilhelm Leber revealed how this came about.

What it means to really trust in God and how this characterises a Christian life was described in a divine service by the Chief Apostle.

In today’s world people feel almost compelled to share almost every aspect of their lives with everyone else. But isn’t there someone far better to speak to first?  – The video from a divine service with the Chief Apostle.

Called to be a blessing? How is that supposed to work in a world where evil rules and the good seems so weak? In a divine service recently, the Chief Apostle had some answers.

When people hear Angola they think of oil and diamonds, beautiful beaches, desert, and jungle. But Angola has so much more to offer. Deeply religious people live there with dreams and hopes for a future.

Even difficult paths can be part of a divine plan as the story of Joseph shows impressively. Those who believe in God’s love learn to recognise the beginnings of new hope even in suffering and guilt.

A drone view of a congregation waving? This may not be all that unusual these days, but the story behind it is touching. And the Chief Apostle himself tells the story.

We are supposed to serve the Lord with gladness. But how? The answer is clear: those who serve God have reason to be glad— and not only at some point down the line, but here and now.

When Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider celebrates the divine services on Good Friday and Easter Sunday in Australia, he will not only be visiting the country itself, but also addressing a District Apostle Area that is simply vast in geographical terms.

Do good and don’t stop. “This seed will sprout. Maybe you will see what develops, maybe not. But the good you do is never in vain.” And here is the divine service that this statement is based on.

Sometimes in life it is as though we have been thrown into a fiery furnace. Life can be hard, and it is certainly tempting to take an easier path. But such paths lead away from God. Let us follow the example of three young men.

Those who know they have been set free from sin make a conscious decision to be God’s servant, and this out of love and gratitude. This was the subject of a recent divine service in Kenya.

Faith, love, and hope; and peace, joy, and knowledge—all of these can come to fruition through the word of preaching. But this doesn’t just happen. Here is what every believer can and must do for themselves.

God is not there to make life difficult for us. On the contrary, He does more good for us than we realise—sometimes even through trials. Are you wondering how this can work? The Chief Apostle recently shed some light on this question.

‌It is one of the longest countries in the world, but the visit will be rather short. The Chief Apostle is travelling to Chile this week, to the city where the New Apostolic faith first took a foothold in the country. 

As Christians we cannot agree with the state of the world. But there is hope for a better future. ‌And this is something we can demonstrate, the Chief Apostle says.

Whether under mango trees or in a large church, God dwells among the people. He lives in their hearts and in His congregation. The Chief Apostle recently gave a tour of this dwelling place.
