The True Vine Evangelism Program
Week Two: His Messengers
Starting from the beginning of time God has always had messengers to bring forth his message to the world and to his children. Many of these messengers endured persecution, ridicule, and shame in the course of doing God’s will, still God’s messengers have prevailed by the almighty hand of God! History has on record many great messengers, the list is ever growing and confirms to the world that God is alive and his message will never be stopped! As we know the Bible has many recorded messengers from Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah, Noah, Moses, Jesus, John and many more unto the many that are not written in the Bible such as D.L. Moody, Billy Graham, C.S. Lewis, Adrian Rogers, Joel Osteen, John Hagee, and many more. I could go on in listing them yet still not cover all that God has accomplished through his children!
Why is it important for God to have messengers? What similarities do all of God’s messengers share? Why do we need preachers, evangelists, teachers, singers and the like? Without these messengers there would be no faith! This week we are going to study about the importance to answering the call to be God’s messenger.
