The 3rd Year Tithe and Religious Traps in the Messianic Faith

The 3rd Year Tithe, A Commandment of Caring and Compassion

In this Course, students will study how YeHoVaH reveals one of His plans to care for the poor, the widow, the orphan, the stranger, and the Levite. The 3rd year tithe is given every third year in the 7-year Shemitah cycle. A special prayer accompanies this tithe, as well as powerful promises that are associated with and expected by those who obey this Command.

Religious Traps in the Messianic Faith (3 Topics)

The first Topic covers information that is vital to walking out our Hebrew Roots in the Messianic Faith in a way that is pleasing to Almighty YeHoVaH. Many religious traps are exposed that believers should beware of in the Messianic Faith. These traps are exposed so that believers can instantaneously know when they are in an assembly that perpetuates these traditional traps as they are incorporated into the practices of that assembly.

The 2nd Topic deals with “Facing East to Pray”. Many believers in various Messianic Assemblies have fallen into this trap. If Jerusalem is north, south, or west of us, why are people praying to the east? What does the Almighty have to say about this practice? You might be surprised!

In the final Topic, “What Does it Mean to be a Man of God”, Arthur Bailey shares from both his own experience and the Word of YeHoVaH on what is "A Man of God".

The Great Commission (Pentecost) and Walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit-My Testimony

The Great Commission (Pentecost)

Walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit-My Testimony

Arthur Bailey’s mission is to equip the saints for the work of ministry and teach them how to live an obedient, spirit-filled life of discipleship and service. The course is based on Arthur’s life-changing adventures of discovering and tapping back into the roots of the faith that he has preached with boldness for over four decades.

The Month of Abib and The Biblical New Year

The Month of Abib

In the Hebrew Roots and Messianic assemblies, there is as much division and confusion as there is in all world religions. The division and confusion comes from varying Biblical interpretations, schools of thoughts, and/or philosophies. Much of the confusion causes problems for those who are new to the faith and for others who are not properly equipped or discipled to study Scripture for themselves, therefore they rely on others to do it for them.
In this Course, we cut through the confusion and explain why we wait for and begin our year with the Abib barley and sighting of the New Moon.

The Biblical New Year

In America, and around the world, many people of different cultures celebrate the New Year on January 1st of the Gregorian calendar, while totally ignoring the Biblical New Year. Secular Jews, Jews of Judaism and Messianic believers, who incorporate Jewish traditions, celebrate Rosh Hashanah in the 7th month as the Jewish New Year on Tisri 1st of the Jewish Calendar. Incorporated in these New Year celebrations are pagan and religious traditions not found in Scripture. In this Course, students will learn what the Almighty has commanded and when we are to keep the Biblical New Year He established in His Word.

You Must be Born Again

Many in the church world have taken a conversation that Yeshua had with a Pharisee at night about being born again, and have developed powerhouse ministries teaching a gospel message of salvation and altar calls. Was Yeshua sharing a message of salvation with Nicodemus, and if so, why didn’t He offer an altar call for Nicodemus to give his heart to Jesus? Was John 3:16 a verse given to provoke people to make an emotional decision for Christ, or was it something else? Arthur Bailey takes you on an in-depth study of what it means to be Born Again. You will be surprised with what John 3:16 actually says in proper context.
