It goes without saying: Jesus is the light of the world. But believers must also let His light shine, and let it radiate into the beyond. But how? The Chief Apostle examined this in a recent divine service.

He was tired and completely exhausted. In fact, he could not care less any more. All he wanted to do was die. Only once he had hit rock bottom did Elijah find his way to a new beginning in an encounter with God.

Jesus Christ is the good shepherd. He knows His sheep, He provides for them and protects them, and ultimately He gave His life for them. The divine services in March take a slightly different course through the season of Lent which has just begun.

The record holder is Switzerland. The Regional Church broadcasts weekly online services in three languages. Close on its heels is South America, which offers divine services in Spanish and Portuguese for its brothers and sisters. As always, there are even more languages on nac.today.

Same value, same dignity, and the same mandate: this is based on God’s will as Creator. But ancient Judaism practised inequality. With Jesus Christ it was completely different: the gospel tells us about female students and disciples and other women who proclaimed His teaching to others.

“Fellowship of life with Christ” is the overarching theme of the Sunday services in February. And that means more than just leaving a little room in our lives for Jesus and His gospel. Fellowship with Christ fills our whole life—today and in future.

Those who experience their faith as a gift want to share and communicate that. But an invitation is only the first step. Intercession always goes a little further. How? This is described in a divine service by the Chief Apostle.

Three years and 66 parts later… The series on the sacraments has given us a lot of food for thought on theology and history in general and on New Apostolic specialties in particular. As a final instalment, here is an overview with dozens of links.

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.

Clear words, strong action… In line with this motto, the New Apostolic Church is continuing its fight against sexual misconduct. This was also evident at the meetings of the District Apostles this past week.

Love, friendship, and sharing the same faith… These are things that make us strong. And this is something that brothers and sisters from all generations and walks of life were able to experience in various countries over the past few weeks. Together in Christ still applies even if the year is almost over.

For many years, a Priest from the German district of Bochum provided for the faith-based needs of prisoners. He visited and looked after mostly New Apostolic inmates in a correctional facility in Bochum.

Sacraments for the dead, this is a special feature of our New Apostolic faith. This is an aspect in our sacrament series that we could not have done without. In fourteen articles we examined the doctrine, how it is practised, and explored its history. In conclusion, here is an overview.

The periodical points the way, but every preacher has to find his own way into the listener’s heart. This was one of the topics discussed by the authors of the Divine Service Guide at their most recent annual meeting, which took place on two continents.

Acts in this world for the beyond. Why would this even be necessary? Jesus Christ Himself set the example by coming into this world to bring salvation to the living and the dead. This also marks the nature of the sacraments.

It has been called the structural law of biblical salvation history: the principle of substitution. Even the New Apostolic Church’s understanding of salvation for the departed is founded upon this. Following is the story of where the fundamental model originates—and where it ultimately leads.

This is about an object of faith so great that it does not fit into a single divine service. Good thing October has five Sundays. There will be plenty of opportunity to contemplate God’s creation, and from five different angles to boot.

Is the divine service for the departed some sort of spiritualistic practice? Hardly! Anyone who claims such a thing would be contradicting the facts! After all, scholarship sees these two as polar opposites in several decisive points.
