All interested parties are invited: the New Apostolic congregations in the German-speaking regions of the world will be open to the public for a service for the departed on Sunday, 6 November 2016. The preparations are already underway.

We have all experienced it—a thought from outside that feels like a letter straight from the evil one bearing the message, “You don’t have a chance.” How are we to react to this? “Just like King Hezekiah,” says the Chief Apostle. Following are some answers from a divine service.

September 21, 2016 : Christians pray for world peace. This occurs every year, because on 21 September churches observe the International Day of Prayer for Peace. Does this change anything? Well, yes, at least one’s own attitude. Already Jesus admonished that we be at peace with ourselves and make peace with our neighbour.

Being patient with the imperfections of our neighbour, but also with ourselves. Chief Apostle Schneider demonstrates how the Holy Spirit can support us even in very normal situations of daily life.

“Being a Christian in everyday life” is the subject in our divine services in September. There are many sources from which we can gather inspirations on how to be a Christian in everyday life. The age of communication has greatly expanded the possibilities.

Making the impossible possible? Yes, there is a power that can do that. It has something to do with a seed, a mountain, and a tree. Explanations were given in a divine service by the Chief Apostle.

A meeting of sisters bigger than any ministers’ meeting, our doctrine in theory and practice … The following examples show the role of women in the Church, and right there in the front lines is Africa.

Chief Apostle Schneider did not mince his words when he addressed the ministers and their service to God. A ministry is not a rank. A minister’s task in the congregation is to be vigilant and warn the members of impending danger.

Pastoral care is complex and individual. Sometimes it is a single prayer, but often it is a special and close relationship, and continued support. In a meeting of ministers, Chief Apostle Schneider talked about his conception of pastoral care.

His name is not really all that well known, but he was one of the pioneers of what later came to be known as the New Apostolic Church. Apostle Friedrich Wachmann bought the first church building and published a devotional book. He was born 175 years ago to the day.

Three years ago, the NAC Burial Fund of the New Apostolic Church Cape celebrated eighty years. The fund was established in 1933 by the then Assistant Chief Apostle Heinrich Franz Schlaphoff (1894−1965). It was his wish that the members of the Church receive a dignified burial.

A Church in which people feel at home … and come together. Over the last few days again, New Apostolic Christians around the world spent time together: with special people, at unusual times, and in unusual places.

Divine salvation is invisible. Christians, however, are to make it visible through their prayers and their faith so that people can recognize salvation. Chief Apostle Schneider invited the congregations to take part in this.

Jesus puts Himself on the same level as mankind, Christians maintain. That is why He was born. Jesus can save mankind, which is why He died. This is the clear message of the gospel. In a divine service at the beginning of July in Vancouver in Canada, the Chief Apostle underlined this old and yet very topical message in very impressive way.

People experience fellowship when they set out and go to meet their neighbour. nac.today presents three travellers of the last few days.

District Apostle Andrew H. Andersen (Australia) talks about the added value of our own experiences and about our efforts in filling the 2016 motto—“Victory with Christ”—with life.

Growth alone is not enough. Only once fruit ripens does it become edible and beneficial. Just how topical Jesus’ parable of the sower still is in the year 2016 was shown by the Chief Apostle just recently.

Sure, the people of Israel often moved with their tabernacle, but it was really nothing more than a tent. How this is possible with a massive brick church, is something that the brothers and sisters in the Congo demonstrated. Here is the story of a huge joint effort.
