It is only with the heart that one can sing well. Children during a divine service with the Chief Apostle in Boya (Democratic Republic of the Congo) on 25 July 2025. Our photo of the month, September 2025.

His secret: he trusted in God even when the going was tough. Accompanied by much gratitude and recognition, District Apostle Helper David Devaraj from India has retired.

Speech is silver, silence is golden. But not everyone can be silent. The Chief Apostle explains why this is important for our own salvation. 

Blessing is one thing, giving thanks is another. And on top of all of that there is still our offering to God. But these three aspects are connected in a different way than some might think. Here are references from seven divine services.

“It’s that simple,” the Chief Apostle says, referring to our heavenly relationship with God. Here is the video excerpt from a divine service.

In Africa, especially south of the Sahara, preaching works differently than in the West. A different developmental history and traditional cultural values require a unique approach.

God goes after everyone: this is the meaning of the parable of the lost sheep. But the parable is not just about the ones who have strayed. Because, in fact, it affects every single one of us.

Rich, beautiful, and healthy. That’s the meaning of blessing, right? Maybe in the Old Testament. The New Testament, however, paints a different picture, and the Chief Apostle explains this again and again.

No matter how lost you may feel, no one is forgotten! Because there is someone who watches over us all. Thoughts from the Chief Apostle Helper.

The marriage in heaven is the greatest event of all time! Who wants to participate? And what do we need to do to achieve this? Following are clear instructions from the Chief Apostle. 

The fear of God is not a fearful dread, but rather deep respect, trust, and gratitude. This is what the Chief Apostle made clear recently and showed what this means for our day-to-day lives. 

Contradictions in the prayer of prayers and misunderstandings in the interaction of blessing and gratitude: this is what the Sunday services in September are all about.

Sometimes it doesn’t take long to find the lost sheep. In fact, sometimes a look into our own heart does the trick. There is a good reason, however, to listen to the call of the Good Shepherd.

Neither a ministry nor good performance will save us, but only our Christ-like heart. And for everyone who is active in the Church, that means serving out of love without expecting anything in return, the Chief Apostle says. 

A new world for a new united humanity … God is working on it! And everyone can be part of it. Here is how the Chief Apostle explained it.

A divine service on a sailing ship is not something that happens every day. And even more surprising was the unexpected visit of the District Apostle. Here is the picture and its story.

The path to God is open to all people, whether rich or poor, young or old. All it takes is respect for Him and love in our actions. 

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.
