Who is supposed to benefit from serving and reigning with Christ? This is the question District Apostle Tshitshi Tshisekedi from the Democratic Republic Congo asks in his article as he reflects on our 2023 motto and takes a look at the coming generations and what we are leaving our children.

Who is God? There are many answers to this, but only one that really matters: the image that Jesus Christ revealed. If we open ourselves up to this image, we can be sure to achieve everything that is possible.

We have to do something for God’s blessing. This is what the story of Elijah and the widow teaches us. However, the story reveals much more: namely, how, when, and whom God blesses.

He was not the first to hold this office, but the first with to bear the title. Chief Apostle Hermann Niehaus was born on 28 July 1848, 175 years ago. This is the story of the man who turned individual New Apostolic congregations into a church.

Did the New Apostolic Church really ordain only men as ministers until last year? What about the Deaconesses who were active in Europe, America, and Africa for a period of eighty years? Here are some facts and figures to give an initial picture.

It’s official: the building of the New Apostolic Church in Eppendorf is one of the most remarkable buildings in Hamburg, Germany. It has lots of stories to tell, for example, about the new organ, the moving altar, or the little piece of their church that people can carry around.

“This certainty, this absolute certainty that I am loved by God. And feeling this peace in your heart despite all the temptations: God loves me. This signifies blessing.” In a divine service recently, the Chief Apostle cleared up some popular misunderstandings.

For a long time Finland was a blank spot on the New Apostolic map, until an Apostle remembered his childhood dream. This weekend, the Finnish brothers and sisters are excited to have the Chief Apostle visit them.

The Bible does not give a clear answer regarding the question of the ordination of women. Therefore the apostolate must decide. Can they just go ahead and decide something like this? The Bible has clear answers to this.

“Riddle” is another way of translating the Greek word used for “parable” in the Bible. And rarely does this word fit the bill as well as it does in John 10: 1–30. This is where the good shepherd is at home, and with Him a whole tangle of parables.

“Trust in the gift of the Holy Spirit.” This was the appeal made by Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider in the central Pentecost service he conducted in Cape Town in South Africa. For in this way, believers are equipped with everything they need to reach their goal.

An end that marked a beginning: by ascending to heaven Jesus Christ did not create distance between Himself and us, but actually came closer to us. Here are some thoughts on Ascension Day, which falls within Eastertide.

Do not stop with the Old Testament, but listen and accept the message of Jesus Christ. This is the appeal Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider made during the divine service in Athens in Greece on 2 April 2023.

Persevere in the Apostles’ teaching! This is an exhortation that believers are quite familiar with. But what exactly does it mean? Here are some answers from a divine service about serving, following Christ, and the question of who really is the boss here.

The name Magney is well-known in New Apostolic circles in Germany: there were two Apostles with that name. The younger of the two was confirmed by the older one some eighty years ago. And the older Magney died in a bombing raid eighty years ago today. Today we pay tribute to a pioneer.

Ascension Day and Pentecost—the month of May speaks for itself. And so do our divine services: the brothers and sisters will learn more about the announcement of the Holy Spirit and how God reveals Himself to them as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

To reign with Christ is a higher form of service. This is what District Apostle John Kriel from South Africa says in his article on our annual motto. What exactly this means he explains by telling us what we need to let go of and what we need to hold on to.

It goes without saying: Jesus is the light of the world. But believers must also let His light shine, and let it radiate into the beyond. But how? The Chief Apostle examined this in a recent divine service.
