New year, new posters. The year 2018 brings a fresh set of posters for the display cases of the congregations in Europe. It is a proven recipe: people like you and me, who underpin the annual motto of the New Apostolic Church with authentic statements.

Not all New Apostolic Christians have access to the Internet. But even those who do not will receive the Chief Apostle’s New Year message, which he proclaimed yesterday. And not only in divine service. Even if the Internet has many advantages—news can be retrieved quickly and, for the most part, at no charge—it cannot be […]

Let us recognise the glory of God in His works, thank Him for His gifts, and proclaim His glory! These are the three tasks for New Apostolic Christians in the coming year. Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider’s New Year’s message: How can we implement the motto that the Chief Apostle issues at the beginning of each […]

Our series on the 2017 theme, “Glory be to God, our Father”, is about to end. However, praising and thanking God will continue until a specific date. An appeal by District Apostle Michael Deppner of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. When David transported the ark of the Lord to Jerusalem with the people of […]

“That God cares about us is something that we believe; that God cares for us is something that we experience!” says District Apostle Andrew H. Andersen from Australia. It is impossible for a human being to comprehend the greatness of God, the creator of all things. Just to understand the concept of creating all that […]

Glorifying God is more than praising and thanking Him. Because those who recognise mighty works can also perform such works, District Apostle Raúl Montes de Oca from Brazil explains. “Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God […]

Big words will not do. District Apostle Charles S. Ndandula (Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe) explains what is important when it comes to glorifying God. God is worthy to be glorified because He knows everything and everyone. He is the creator of everything visible and invisible. Human beings can only design and create from what already exists, […]

The best way to praise God is with a strong congregation. This is what District Apostle Markus Fehlbaum from Switzerland is convinced of and mentions a few thoughts what such a congregation might look like. I was invited to the divine service in which the Chief Apostle issued our 2017 motto: “Now to our God […]

Keeping our feet on the ground and vanity at bay … District Apostle Rainer Storck (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany) calls on us to reconsider our personal position before giving glory to God. If we give glory to someone we try to bring to expression that that person has achieved something special or has given us something […]

Don’t just plow ahead. A quick thank you will just not do. District Apostle Wolfgang Nadolny (Berlin-Brandenburg in Germany) advises us to carefully think about how we can praise God. “In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, ‘I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things […]

District Apostle Joseph Opemba Ekhuya is fascinated by the wisdom of God and its potential. Food for thought from East Africa with references to a king, a pilot, and eagles. To glorify God also means to honour or show respect to God for the wisdom in His works. God is to be honoured for the […]

Glorifying God as a short-term project? An interesting idea. It would make the task a little less challenging. District Apostle Michael Ehrich (Southern Germany) urges us to do more, however. This year’s motto encourages us to praise and honour God with our whole being. Of course we can enjoy what we have achieved or be […]

Glorifying God? Sometimes we just feel too down for this, especially when fear and pain distort our view of that which is godly. District Apostle Tshitshi Tshisekedi (DR Congo South-East) knows a source of strength which never dries up. “Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not say to you that if you would believe you […]

When Froilan Caderao drives to church he does so on three wheels—not because he is so fast or because his vehicle does not have more wheels. His passengers love it.

Glorifying God even when things are not going well? Praising God instead of weeping and gnashing our teeth? District Apostle Mark Woll from Canada says yes and presents some examples. We have often used the term “glory” or “to glorify” in our life of faith. Sometimes we use these words to express a momentary burst […]

Three things are important to Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider when it comes to the divine creation: the Church leader explains exactly what these are in the Foreword to the latest “community”.

Glorifying God—there is enough time for this in the new creation, or not? A peculiarity in the New King James Bible caused District Apostle Urs Hebeisen of the Philippines to reflect. Our motto for this year, which we find in Philippians 4: 20—“Glory be to God our Father …”—begins in the New King James Version […]
