Imagine you have been invited to a big banquet but decide not to go. The banquet takes place anyway of course, only without you. You simply miss out. The Chief Apostle had some interesting thoughts on this in a divine service in São Paulo (Brazil). Photo: Iglesia Nueva Apostólica Sud América Photo: Iglesia Nueva Apostólica […]

A single bunch of grapes to illustrate Thanksgiving!? Where is the usual abundance and diversity? A little hair-splitting and an impulse to be doubly grateful on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a celebration of reflection and gratitude, a feast of fruits. It is celebrated all over the world at different times, due to the different harvest periods. […]

A belief that inspires, yet at the same time it presents us with certain challenges. “How should we talk about the return of the Lord?” Chief Apostle Schneider asks, and gives some tips. “In order to be heard, we must do as Apostle Paul and put ourselves on the level of our audience,” the Chief […]

God is omnipotent, eternal, and triune. For centuries this belief has been described in detail in the various creeds. Faith in the return of Christ can even unite today’s Christians. The community magazine that has just been published and will be distributed over the next few days contains a doctrinal essay by Chief Apostle Jean-Luc […]

The Holy Spirit works powerfully both in the congregations of the church of Christ and in every individual believer. Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider reminded readers about this in a recent letter to the congregations. “The Holy Spirit works powerfully! That was how He worked in the past, that is how it is today, and that […]

The trip began at the International Date Line: Samoa and American Samoa are separated by a 24-hour time difference, even though they are located in the same island archipelago. From there, the journey continued onward to the islands of Fiji. Photo: NAC Western Pacific Photo: NAC Western Pacific Photo: NAC Western Pacific Photo: NAC Western […]

Are there any commonalities between the Israelites who made their way out of Egypt some 3,000 years ago and the Christians of the 21st century? Chief Apostle Schneider elaborates on the parallels and makes some very clear statements about witchcraft, capitalism, and egocentricity.

Fostering fellowship with sisters and brothers, sometimes while seated on the ground under the open sky, sometimes in divine services. The visit of the Church leader unleashed great joy.

Let us never stop: the peace in this world can certainly use our prayers. It has become weak and needs support. On this International Day of Prayer for Peace, let us indeed pray for peace. The peace of the world is sick. If it were a person it would have to be admitted to hospital […]

He was anything but perfect. And nevertheless, the biblical David was a man after the heart of God. This makes him an example for believers to this day. Here are five things we can learn from David.

Not every gift requires a ministry in order to unfold. And not every duty requires a ministry for its implementation. This is always a question of the respective duty—and there are some clear distinctions here. Serving God and one’s neighbour: that is the core idea in Christendom. After all, it is a well-known fact that […]

He came to West Africa without a clue, but his heart filled with love left traces that are still evident to this day: Apostle Rudolf Schilling would have celebrated his one hundredth birthday on 14 September.

Two divine services—on the same day and at the same time, but in two different places: and the Chief Apostle does not need to tear himself in two in order to make this happen. All he has to do is travel backwards in time. Totally normal—for ministers in the South Pacific, that is. Photo: NAC […]

“God help me!”—a call that is often expressed aloud in times of decision. It was concerning times such as these—and what they are good for—that Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider preached in a divine service he conducted in Lusaka, Zambia. The focus of the sermon on 21 July 2019 was a familiar plea from the Lord’s […]

Deep down everybody wants to do good. Unfortunately, we fail more often than not. Let’s not give up though! In the end, our efforts will have been worthwhile. Here is a how-to guide from a recent service. Photo: NAC Haiti Photo: NAC Haiti Photo: NAC Haiti Photo: NAC Haiti Photo: NAC Haiti The motto was […]

A familiar hymn urges: “Of service be to Jesus” and goes on to admonish listeners to be “a fit tool in His hand”. This is a question of what individual Christians can do—both for themselves and for others—even without an official ministerial mandate. There are duties performed on a long-term basis that have a special […]
