Lesson Summary –

In this first lesson of a four-part series on angels called Supernatural: More Than a Myth, your student learned about the reality of angels. This is an interesting subject and one in which there are some misconceptions.

We covered the fact that angels are created beings, distinct from humans. We discussed that they have limits and that there are different kinds of angels. The Bible actually gives the specific names of three angels indicating that each has a distinct personality, similar to human beings.

In addition, we reviewed what angels do. They are God’s messengers. They can be used to guide and protect individuals or groups although we can’t prove from Scripture that personal guardian angels exist. Encouragement is sometimes given by angels. Finally, God can use angels to help us practice hospitality to strangers. As a way to connect with the content of the lesson, read Hebrews 13:1-2.

Since angels are God’s servants and we are also called to serve Him, your student was challenged to identify an area of service in which they could participate. Ask your student about what they chose. Encourage them to follow through and offer to help in any way you can. Cultivating service among our youth is an important part of their spiritual growth. Each of us is unique and can serve in specific ways to bring glory to God.
