Title:
“The Ministry of Old and New Testament Prophets"

Main Scripture
 1. Hebrews 1:1-2 (KJV)

"For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away."

Detailed Breakdown:

1. Purpose_: Old Testament prophets primarily prophesied about God's judgment, warning the Israelites of impending doom if they didn't repent. New Testament prophets, on the other hand, prophesied about God's mercy, love, and redemption through Jesus Christ.

2. Authority_: Old Testament prophets received their authority directly from God, often through dramatic and supernatural events. New Testament prophets received their authority through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

3. Message_: Old Testament prophets emphasized the importance of obedience to God's laws and warned of the consequences of disobedience. New Testament prophets emphasized the importance of faith in Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.

4. Method_: Old Testament prophets often used dramatic and supernatural methods to convey their messages, such as miracles, signs, and wonders. New Testament prophets relied more on the power of the Holy Spirit and the authority of Jesus Christ.

5. Scope_: Old Testament prophets primarily prophesied to the nation of Israel. New Testament prophets prophesied to the universal church, emphasizing the importance of evangelism and discipleship.
