New Testament Messengers
Read for This Week’s Lesson

Memory Verse “There are different kinds [types] of gifts; but they are all from the same Spirit. There are different ways to serve; but all these ways are from the same Lord. And there are different ways that God works in people; but all these ways are from the same God. God works in us all in everything we do” (, ICB).
God communicated with His messengers in Old and New Testament times. The messages in the Old Testament agree with the messages in the New Testament. That’s because the same Holy Spirit who helped men write the Old Testament also helped men write the New Testament. In Old and New Testament times, the Holy Spirit helped God’s messengers to understand His words. So, both parts of the Bible agree perfectly with each other. The Holy Spirit also gives God’s messengers strength to serve Him. The Holy Spirit makes Jesus the most important part of the messages He gives to God’s messengers. The book of Hebrews helps us understand this important Bible truth ().
This week, we will look at the gift of special messages in the New Testament. We will look at the work God’s messengers did. We also will look at the people that God chose to be His messengers. We will compare God’s messengers with church leaders and learn how the two jobs are different. We will learn about the danger of false messengers, too.
