Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g31 Greek: angelia

Message:

akin to angello, "to bring a message, proclaim," denotes a "message, proclamation, news," 1Jo 1:5 [some mss. have epangelia: see Note 1)]; 1Jo 3:11, where the word is more precisely defined (by being followed by the conjunction "that," expressing the purpose that we should love one another) as being virtually equivalent to an order.

Notes:

(1) Epangelia (epi, "upon," and No. 1), "a promise," is found in some mss. in 1Jo 1:5, "message" (see No. 1).
See PROMISE.

(2) In Luk 19:14, AV, presbeia, is translated "a message;" RV, "an ambassage," as in Luk 14:32.
See AMBASSAGE.

2 Strong's Number: g189 Greek: akoe

Message:

"hearing," also denotes "the thing heard, a message;" in 1Th 2:13, it is associated with logos, "a word," lit., "the word of hearing" (RV marg.), RV, "the word of the message," AV, "the word... which ye heard;" so in Hbr 4:2, RV, "the word of hearing" (AV, "the word preached").
See HEARING.

3 Strong's Number: g2782 Greek: kerugma

Message:

"that which is proclaimed by a herald, a proclamation, preaching," is translated "the message" in Tts 1:3, RV (AV, "preaching").
See PREACHING.
