Rather than demand our silent devotion, Jesus wants us to act: let us go out, testify, and help others. Those who merely pray without taking action have failed in their mission. Chief Apostle Schneider calls for transformation.

Pentecost comes after Easter, but in between these two holy days there is still Ascension Day. ’Tis the season when God’s good plan for humankind makes great leaps. The divine services in May show where all this leads.

The resurrection of Jesus shows: everything is possible with God. And this power of faith and love touches our lives. This is what the song “With You I can” is about.

Easter is the beginning of everything that can become new. The resurrection of Christ is the beginning of the new creation, both for the living and the dead.

When Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider celebrates the divine services on Good Friday and Easter Sunday in Australia, he will not only be visiting the country itself, but also addressing a District Apostle Area that is simply vast in geographical terms.

First they cheered and welcomed Him, then they hurled insults at Him. This story is older than the event and is still told a thousand times over today. But there is a difference that changes the world. Here is a slightly different look at Palm Sunday.

“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.

It took several attempts, but the New Apostolic Church finally managed to gain a foothold in East Timor. Jean-Luc Schneider is the first Chief Apostle to visit the country in South-East Asia.

A divine service with over 7,000 participants, a concert with around 2,000 performers, and a Church Convention that takes over an entire city. These major events continue to have an impact, whether on a small or large scale or as a catchy tune.

Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus. Good Friday and Easter celebrate His death and resurrection. But Pentecost? What exactly does the outpouring of the Holy Spirit mean? Here are the answers from the ten most recent Pentecost services.

When the highest decision-making body of the New Apostolic Church meets, the congregations in the vicinity of the conference location also benefit. The District Apostles once again swarmed out into the surrounding congregations for the midweek service.

Music can help us heal: this was the focus of a joint project in a children’s home north of the Arctic Circle. The participants came from Germany, Austria, Great Britain, and Greenland.

God is eternal, our own earthly existence is limited. God is omnipotent, whereas we often feel powerless. God’s thoughts are much higher than the human mind can comprehend. How can we then worship God appropriately? Following are some inspiring thoughts underlining our annual motto “Prayer works!”

Whether conducting a choir or an orchestra, conductors are all eyes, ears, and hands. From the first bar to the last note, they are in control over the tempo and the dynamics. But they don’t fall from the sky. So how do congregations across the world find their musical leaders.
