It was a sign that even the disciples did not understand. And its message still resonates today. Here is the story of Jesus washing His disciples’ feet, explained by the Chief Apostle.

It is often said that ministers are a source of blessing. But what does this truly mean What is my role as a preacher, and what impact can I have when proclaiming God’s word? In other words, how can I be a source of blessing?

“I am thinking of the many brothers and sisters who are in great need today,” the Chief Apostle says. And: “This is the message I would like to share with each and every one of you,” the video ends.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Preaching is not something you do just like that: it must be inspired by the Holy Spirit, be aligned with the Bible, and be in accordance with our doctrine.  The Chief Apostle explains the requirements.

Proclaiming God's word at the altar – that raises questions. At the top of the list: Where does my ministerial authority to preach come from? How do I understand myself as one ordained by the Apostle ministry?

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.

“Who is Jesus?” This is the question that runs through our divine services in April. Every key stage of the Passiontide offers an answer—right up to Easter and beyond.
