Zero tolerance. This is the stance taken by the New Apostolic Church towards sexual abuse and assault. And this is what Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider made clear at the conference of the District Apostles in Zurich, Switzerland. “I want ministers to be absolutely clear on what sexual misconduct can do! They need to know how […]

Changing YouTube channels and upcoming services on Sunday … here is this week’s update on the central video services offered by the New Apostolic Church.

Let’s not always look at the numbers, admonishes Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider. What is matter of course for modern humans is unsuitable for spreading the gospel. God will complete His church through imperfect human beings.

The rebirth out of water and Spirit: what began as a rite in two parts developed into two independent sacraments. The catalyst was the overwhelming success of Christendom. We are in the fourth century. The baptistries that adjoined the episcopal churches were abuzz with activity. Things really took off when Emperor Constantine himself converted to […]

Jesus came to deliver us from evil. When He left, He instructed the Apostles to spread His message everywhere. And today every single Christian has been sent by Jesus to testify of His love.

Paul comes up with strong arguments in his letter to the church in Corinth. People there are finding it difficult to think around the next corner. “Look beyond the horizon of your understanding,” he would say today. And he’s right! The third Sunday in November is the last Sunday in the current church year. The […]

Confirmation events, youth conventions, youth meetings. Many young people are getting together in spite of the pandemic to have fun together, experience their faith, or to do good.

Always so many changes! There is hardly any other church that has developed so far in such a short time. For many, the reaction to this is: “I can’t even recognise my own Church any more!” And yet others are happy about the changes. How are we to deal with this? Indeed it is true […]

“Let us be aware that Jesus also looks at the way we behave with children.” — And that was not even the most important message that Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider had to impart in the divine service he conducted in Kabwe, Zambia.

Bringing the word of God to the people? That goes beyond the altar too. But at times the two go hand in hand—like in Uzbekistan, where a New Apostolic Priest is currently directing the affairs of the national Bible society. Having a Bible in your own language? For Uzbek Christians that is anything but a […]

How does the believer receive the Holy Spirit? The Bible remains ambiguous and leaves quite a few gaps with respect to this question. Answers begin to develop of the early church. And this foundation stands to this day. Signs—more signs are needed! Yes indeed, there is the baptism of water, the drowning of the old […]

People already made music in biblical times. King David had 4,000 people play musical instruments to the glory of God. Jesus and His disciples sang a hymn at the Last Supper. And in order to ensure that music remains a firm component of our faith life, it is encouraged and supported all around the world. […]

Divine service broadcasts are part of the Church’s past and its present. Following is this Sunday’s streaming offer.

Video transmissions via satellite made […]

Mysteries are generally very popular. Many people find it stimulating and thrilling to know things that are not known to everyone else. But ultimately, all mysteries will be revealed in the light! This is also the case with our faith, says Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider. Photo: NAC Zambia Photo: NAC Zambia Photo: NAC Zambia Photo: […]
