The Angels of God

This lecture series explores the angels of God and their vital role in revealing his character, guiding his people, and carrying out his will. Far from being distant or abstract, the angels are shown as deeply involved in the lives of men and women, shaping events, protecting the faithful, and rejoicing in their growth. These classes invite us to see the angels as both powerful servants of God and personal companions, encouraging us to trust in their presence as we journey toward the kingdom.

Who Are the Angels?

The opening class lays the foundation by examining who the angels are. Scripture shows they were present from the beginning of creation, rejoicing as God laid the foundations of the earth. They are not vague spiritual forces, but real beings with personality and purpose, chosen to reveal God’s character and work with humanity. This study helps us appreciate that knowing the angels means better understanding the ways of God.

The Power and Authority of the Angels

This class highlights the remarkable strength and authority entrusted to the angels. They speak and act with God’s authority, at times carrying out great judgments and at other times bringing deliverance. Whether stopping armies, protecting God’s servants, or directing events, their work demonstrates that God’s power is active in the world today. The lesson reminds us that their authority is always exercised in harmony with God’s mercy and purpose.

The Angels Work for You

Here we see the angels not just as mighty beings but as personal workers in the lives of God’s people. They are involved in daily circumstances, arranging events that test, shape, and strengthen faith. From Abraham’s encounters to the experiences of Daniel, the angels are shown to be deeply engaged in guiding and protecting. This class encourages us to recognize their quiet, unseen hand in our own lives.

The Angels Are Your Friends

This lecture emphasizes the closeness of the angels to those who love God. They are not only messengers but companions who care deeply about our struggles. Like trusted friends, they rejoice in our growth, urge us onward when we falter, and even adapt their work in response to our prayers. Seeing them in this way helps us realize that we are never alone in our walk of faith.

You Can Be Equal to the Angels

The series concludes with the hope of the gospel: that one day, the faithful will be made like the angels—immortal, sinless, and fully reflecting God’s glory. This hope lifts our eyes beyond the present struggles and inspires us to grow in faith and obedience. Just as the angels serve God perfectly now, so too will those who follow Christ share in that eternal service and joy in the kingdom.
