Sabbath School Lesson 4 opens in a house in Caesarea. A prophet named Agabus walks in, takes Paul's belt, ties his own hands and feet with it, and says the owner of this belt will be bound in Jerusalem. Deep Made Simple asks the question that scene answers: did God stop speaking through prophets when the Old Testament ended?The answer in that house is plainly no. There is a prophet at the door, four young women in the family who prophesy, and an apostle who hears the warning and goes anyway. The memory text names the source of all of it: different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit, the same Lord, the same God at work, and each gift given for the common good.Sunday starts with Jesus the Prophet, and far more than a prophet. At Caesarea Philippi the crowds call Him John, Elijah or Jeremiah. In the synagogue at Nazareth He reads Isaiah and says, today this scripture is fulfilled, and His hometown tries to throw Him off a cliff. He weeps over Jerusalem and foretells that not one stone will be left on another. On the road to Emmaus two grieving friends call Him a prophet, and He opens the Scriptures to show them He is the One every prophet pointed to. John calls Him the Word, and Hebrews says God has spoken to us by His Son.Monday is the apostles, the ones who were sent, eyewitnesses of the risen Jesus, and the picture of a church built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ as the cornerstone. We meet the prophets and teachers at Antioch, a Cypriot, two North Africans, a man raised at Herod's court and a former persecutor, and Judas and Silas, true prophets whose words were never written down.Tuesday asks what a prophet did in an ordinary week: strengthening, encouraging and comfort. Barnabas earns his nickname, Agabus predicts a famine under Claudius and the church turns the warning into generosity, an outsider walks in and says God is really among you, and every word is weighed. Wednesday shows who received the gift, from Joel at Pentecost to Simeon and Anna in the temple, Philip and the Ethiopian official on the Gaza road, Timothy taught by his grandmother Lois and mother Eunice, and Titus in Crete.Thursday is the counterfeits: the warnings on the Mount of Olives, Elymas at Paphos, the slave girl at Philippi who said true things from a false source, the wolves Paul warned about at Miletus, and the armor of God with the sword of the Spirit. Friday brings it to one center with the Bereans, who checked Paul against the Scriptures every day, and with Jesus answering the tempter, it is also written. Then the study follows Paul's chains from Jerusalem to Rome, where the last word of Acts is without hindrance.MEMORY VERSE"There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work."
