The Price of Kingdom Living

Matthew 8:18-34

March 6, 2021 • Arthur Bailey

Kingdom Authority, Kingdom Power, and Kingdom Living come with a price. Kingdom Authority is given to those who have been chosen by Yeshua in YeHoVaH and who have accepted the calling of Messiah in their service to YeHoVaH. The foundation of Kingdom Authority, Kingdom Power, and Kingdom Living is faith in Yeshua in YeHoVaH.

Faith is the foundation and currency for all things in the Kingdom! Yeshua exclaimed He had not found such “great faith” in all Israel as the Centurion displayed. Without faith it is impossible to please YeHoVaH. Yeshua proceeds to demonstrate and test the faith of His disciples and followers as they follow Him and get firsthand lessons on faith and learn the price they will have to pay to follow him.

In preparation for the message, The Price of Kingdom Living, please read Matthew 8:18-34.

Disciple the Nations

March 5, 2022 • Arthur Bailey • Matthew 28:11–20

The sins of the world made it impossible for there to be righteous fellowship between YeHoVaH and His creation. Redemption was about much more than simply saving man from his sins. Mankind had lost its way with no hope and no way to return to YeHoVaH in righteousness and fellowship with the Creator. YeHoVaH’s plan to redeem man and His creation providing a pathway back to Him had been put in play after the fall of man in the garden and materialized at the cross with Yeshua’s sacrifice for the sins of the world. In the final Chapter of Matthew’s Gospel, all seemed to be lost as Yeshua’s disciples, who had hoped that He was the one who was going to redeem Israel, returned to normal life in despair and unbelief of what Yeshua had taught them about what would happen three days after His death. Yeshua’s resurrected Life was committed to empowering His disciples on how to live in the Kingdom of Heaven as a man on earth, how to please YeHoVaH through obedience to His Commands, how to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, and how to make disciples of the nations as He had discipled them. In preparation for this teaching, Disciple the Nations, please read Matthew 28:11-20.

The Resurrection

February 26, 2022 • Arthur Bailey • Matthew 28:1–10

YeHoVaH demonstrated His Mighty Power in Yeshua’s life from the announcement of His birth, His early life in Egypt and Nazareth, protecting Him throughout His earthly Ministry, to the epic showdown between the Savior on the cross and satan which was on full display for the whole world to see. The worldly powers of King Herod, Pontius Pilate, the High Priest, the Sanhedrin, the religious leaders, nor the people were ever any match to the matchless power of YeHoVaH Almighty! Yeshua’s death on the cross as the King of the Jews and the Kingdom He brought to earth appeared to have come to an end as He breathed His last breath and declared “it is Finished”. Join us in the final Chapter of Matthew’s Gospel as all seemed to be lost as His disciples, who had hoped that He was the one who was going to redeem Israel, returned to normal life in despair and unbelief of what Yeshua had taught them about what would happen three days after His death. In preparation for the teaching, The Resurrection, please read Matthew 28:1-10.

The Savior and satan

February 19, 2022 • Arthur Bailey • Matthew 27:45–66

The epic showdown between the Savior and satan that began at the birth of Yeshua comes into clearer focus in the closing Chapters of Matthew. When Yeshua was a toddler, satan used King Herod, who committed mass murder, hoping to have Yeshua murdered. This caused His parents to flee to Egypt for His protection. At the beginning of Yeshua’s earthly Ministry, He was led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted of the devil who tried to convince Yeshua to commit suicide by jumping from the pinnacle of the Temple. Throughout His Ministry, satan used the religious leaders who plotted and made several attempts to have Yeshua murdered at the hand of the people. Join us in the final verses of this Chapter of Matthew as it looks as if satan has finally succeeded in His plot, using the religious leaders, rulers, elders, the people, and the Gentiles to put the Savior to death and end His Ministry. In preparation for this teaching, The Savior and satan, please read Matthew 27:45-66.
