Jesus Christ, the cornerstone!

This evening, our congregation was filled with joy and gratitude as we welcomed the visit of our dear District Rector, SHP Theo Jansen. The Bible text was taken from Isaiah 28:16

"Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I lay in Zion
a stone for a foundation, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; whoever believes will not act
hastily.”

Message
Jesus Christ gives us security.

▪ In Jesus Christ, we have a firm and unshakable foundation for our faith and life.

▪ His Word and His love never change. While circumstances may change, Christ remains constant and faithful.

▪ His grace is perfectly effective, providing forgiveness, strength, and salvation to all who seek Him.

▪ His authority is absolute, and we can place our complete trust in Him.

May we continue to trust Him wholeheartedly, grow in our love for Him, and seek His grace daily, knowing that our lives are securely built upon the Cornerstone, Jesus Christ.

During the Pentecost service of the New Apostolic Church in Cape Town, Helge Mutschler was ordained as Chief Apostle. He succeeds Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider, who retired after serving in this ministry for thirteen years at the head of the global Church. The divine service was broadcast worldwide and followed by New Apostolic Christians across the globe.
The transition had been prepared well in advance. As early as Pentecost 2025, Chief Apostle Schneider had assigned Helge Mutschler as Chief Apostle Helper, thereby designating him as his successor.
Chief Apostle Schneider based his sermon on a passage from the first epistle to the Corinthians: “For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body” (1 Corinthians 12: 13). He said that the church is the visible body of Christ and that it bears witness to the presence and work of Jesus Christ among humanity. Christ Himself leads His church, Jean-Luc Schneider said. “Not a single member is superfluous,” he stressed.
Helge Mutschler, born in Tübingen in 1974, holds a doctorate in law. Before entering the service of the Church full-time, he worked as a lawyer and held senior positions within the self-governing body of the tax consultancy profession. He received his first ministerial mandate in 1994. In 2015, then, Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider ordained him as an Apostle. Helge Mutschler is married and the father of two children.
Although this ordination marks the beginning of a new chapter for the New Apostolic Church, its mission remains unchanged: to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, to prepare believers for the return of Christ, and to foster the unity of the Church.
Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider had led the international Church since 2013. His ministry was characterized by theological clarification, international cooperation, and a commitment to ensuring that the Church remained centered on Christ in a changing world. Although his retirement concludes his service as Chief Apostle, his close connection to the Church and its members

Remaining focused!

Bible text: Philippians 3:13–14
"Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

On Sunday, 10 May, our Rector, Priest Raville Jansen, served the congregation, and Priest Brian Apies was asked to serve alongside him.

This Word served as a beautiful reminder to remain focused on our goal of faith, which is made possible through Christ. It was also a special occasion where we honoured and remembered the mothers for their hard work, dedication, and responsibility towards their children, families, and neighbours.

The congregation was furthermore joyful to witness the wedding blessing bestowed upon Brother Nigel October and Sister Nolene Swarts. We wish them great joy, love, and God’s richest blessings as they begin this new journey together.

Summary
■ Let us remain focused on the goal of our faith.
■ We must run the race with faithfulness and endurance.
■ The goal of eternal life is founded on the hope we have been given through the resurrection of Jesus.
■ Let us commit to completing the race.
