Before a divine service for the departed, the hereafter seems to be especially near. Yet, what can we say offhand about this other world? Here are some answers from the Bible and the Catechism.

Someone is knocking on your heart’s door: Jesus Christ sends you out to share His love and to combat fear and loneliness. Go and spread it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and be there for others.

This is about fear, suffering, and selfishness and the response that changes everything: compassion and love. The Chief Apostle explains how God sees human beings and what believers can do with this knowledge.

Between glacier blue and lava black: Iceland blends natural wonders and beliefs. And in Reykjavík, a simple profession of faith illuminates a small chapel: Sjáið merkið - Kristur kemur.

Lost, frightened, and disoriented. This is how many people experience the present. But God sees all of this. And He calls out to us, “I have a solution.” Here is the video from a divine service.

Maintaining peace and harmony is sometimes not easy. Arguments can quickly flare up. The biblical example of two brothers teaches us how we can remedy the situation.

Repentance sounds as though one should have a guilty conscience and feel ashamed. However, it is about something entirely different: a shift in thinking and a change of heart and mind, and the courage to start over again and again.

Loners cannot reach the goal. On the journey, we need the community of believers. What this all means? Here is a preview of the subjects that will be treated in our divine services in October.

He had the best chances. But for a quick advantage he squandered everything. Here is what the example of Esau teaches us today: warning signals from a divine service.

The new and final issue of community for 2025 is ready. It features a colourful mix of impulses, stories, and news from around the New Apostolic world.

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.
