god considers each individual. for god, it is the individual who counts: every single person. the example of the ethiopian treasurer shows on whom, how, and why god bestows his salvation. here are some extracts from a divine service for the departed. 28 02 2024

stay focussed on the great things god is doing. just a little more suffering, the bible text promises, and then the grace of god will be revealed. it is better to focus on all the good things god is doing for his children. this was the theme of a service recently, which the chief apostle conducted. 13 12 2023

celebrating god together. whether it is a divine service for children, for ministers, or for the whole congregation, serving god together is always a celebration. all over the world, people come together for divine service and sometimes there is a special reason to celebrate. 14 09 2023

our liturgy speaks luxembourgish. the cultural diversity in new apostolic divine services has been enriched by a new facet:congregations in luxembourg can now celebrate the liturgy in their native tongue. and the impulse for this came from the country’s national government. 24 08 2023

ministery (35): receiving the sacrament at the altar. did the new apostolic deaconesses of the early decades carry a spiritual ministry or not? before we can answer this we have to clear up two further questions. first, were the women ordained? and secondly, what were their duties? here is the current state of research. 22 08 2023
