Like a prayer, the song opened the divine service, carrying with it a promise, a wish, and a shared goal. 

There is no way out of the abyss by our own strength. But God reaches out His hand to us. “For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is abundant redemption.” (Psalm 130: 7 excerpt).

Honour your father and your mother. How often has this demand been misused—at the expense of the most vulnerable? A closer look at the Bible reveals that the commandment is not a one-way street.

The term may seem unfamiliar. But the concept is well-known: the Holy Spirit is at work in the church. How, when, and where—this is the focus of a recent pastoral letter.

The storms of life are fierce: darkness, headwinds, and endless rowing. But Jesus Christ never loses sight of His own. Today, more than ever, He comes walking on the very waters that threaten to overwhelm us.

“Welcome to the e-learning platform of the New Apostolic Church International.” This is how visitors are greeted on nac.academy. And getting started could not be easier: all you need is an email address. With this, we round off our mini-series and take one final look at the platform.

A small detail in an old picture unravels a profound mystery and reveals an invitation extended to every human being. Insights from a divine service with the Chief Apostle.

What kind of clothes do Christians wear? Where can they be found? And how much do they cost? The Chief Apostle’s answer is surprising, “We already have them. Put them on.”

He really did have a preaching style all His own: Jesus Christ. He was able to impart the deepest truths using the simplest, shortest everyday stories. However, most people were missing one key ingredient for understanding the mystery and message behind the parables.

From the temple as a symbol to the church of Christ: God’s presence, the Apostles, and unity are its identifying features—and these are the themes of the Sunday services in August.

Gloom, an inner emptiness, and worries: the longing for joy is great. The Chief Apostle reveals where the key to true joy lies—and what prevents us from experiencing it.

Jesus’ guiding principle: to lift people up! Then as now, Christ reaches out His hand, helps us to our feet, and encourages us to be a light for others. 

How can we reach heaven? Or, to put it another way: how can one achieve perfect harmony. The brother of the prodigal son shows how not to go about it. In a divine service, the Chief Apostle shows how it’s done.

Repetition always helps, clichés create a comforting sense of familiarity, and the symbolises authority—or maybe not? “The Sermon” module on nac.academy challenges familiar assumptions.

Who will enter heaven? Jesus gives a surprising answer by pointing to a celebration, an open door, and a person who refuses to go in. The video from a divine service with the Chief Apostle.

Encountering Christ … Just as it was for the disciples in their day, Christ’s presence is still a source of peace, joy, and hope today. Everyone who accepts His invitation will experience His nearness.

Longing, fears, and liberation: three timeless themes that find expression in well-known petitions. These form the foundation for most of our Sunday services in July.

The same words and gestures repeated time and again—there is an underlying order to them. “Liturgy” is the term used to describe the principle that conveys God’s consistent care. Here is more about the divine service, its form, and how things have changed over time.
