“Together in Christ” is not free, but it gives infinitely more strength than it costs.

Beginning the new year with God—on one’s own or with one’s family, but also in fellowship with our brothers and sisters. Christians are looking forward to it. About 150 years ago, Frances R. Havergal wrote the well-known hymn “Another year is dawning”. “Another year of mercies, of faithfulness and grace; another year of gladness before […]

Helping others boosts our own well-being. This is shown by the people highlighted in 2022.

The year 2022 will go down into the New Apostolic history books. For the very first time, the Church has provided a doctrinal answer to a 160-year-old question. And the resulting decision will begin to take effect in the year 2023—when women will also be given the opportunity to be ordained into ministry. Traditionally, the […]

The Chief Apostle held almost 60 divine services in 2022, always finding the right words to comfort and clarify. Here are all the messages from January to December.

It was the year of the District Apostle Helpers: over the past twelve months, the Chief Apostle assigned no less than three new ones. This is not by coincidence. In fact, there is a stated reason behind these changes. And it all has to do with the future. Photo: Jens Lange Photo: NAK Nord- und […]

Christmas is a feast of joy and love even if numerous things can cloud this joy. For Christians, however, there is always a reason to celebrate: namely the birth of Jesus.

Jesus Christ and His church: how does this relationship function? A Bible passage that references the head, the body, and the feet promises to provide some enlightenment.

Traditionally, we can be certain that the fourth candle on the Advent wreath is always lit after the third one. And just as certain are the YouTube services being offered by the various districts.

From Togo to Austria and back. Laura Johanna Fischer lives in two worlds. Several times a year, the 27-year-old travels to the African continent to advance her heart’s project there.

This Sunday we will light another candle on the Advent wreath as we turn our attention more and more to Christmas. Even so, not all feel comfortable enough yet to join the in-person services in their local congregation. Thank God that many can make use of the advantages that technology offers and join a live-streamed […]

God as an author of books?

Apostle Peter Lambert, who was the head of music of the Church in South Africa for many years, will be assigned as a District Apostle Helper for the New Apostolic Church Southern Africa on Sunday, 4 December. A big task, but one that he faces with confidence in God: “The things which are impossible with […]
