The resurrection of Jesus is more than a victory over death: it reveals God’s plan to transform human beings so that they can enjoy eternal fellowship with Him.

Maundy Thursday recalls the Last Supper. Good Friday marks the crucifixion. Easter Sunday proclaims the resurrection. Each day stands as a defining moment in the Passion narrative. But what about Holy Saturday?

Throughout April, the Sunday services focus on the presence of the risen Christ in the world and on how His light can be carried forward and shared.

The countdown to Easter began this week. Many Christians are preparing for it by fasting. Read about what Jesus really wanted and what our hearts, hands, and brain can learn now.

A pastoral conversation with Jesus, without a quick solution. Where there is enough room for questions without shame, faith can grow. This often happens in secret, and sometimes only after a long time.

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.

First comes Mardi Gras—the Tuesday preceding Lent (also known as Shrove Tuesday)—then Ash Wednesday, and then Lent: a period that stretches all the way to Easter on the calendar. It is not about food deprivation per se, but primarily about introspection, a deeper look into one’s own heart.

In a divine service recently, Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider said that we always have a reason to rejoice. This is because God loves His children as He loves Jesus. He explained how this manifests itself and how we can share in this joy.

Jesus invited Thomas to touch His wounds. Others were not allowed to touch the risen Lord. Some recognised the Lord immediately, while others only realised who He was after He had said or done something specific. The Chief Apostle explained the discrepancies in the account of the resurrection.

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.
