About This Project

When death, disease, and darkness close in—Jesus changes everything.

In this Kingdom Come episode, Pastor Tim Hatch walks through Matthew 9:18–34, where four unforgettable encounters reveal the heart and authority of Christ:

Jairus’s desperation for his dying daughter
A woman’s courageous reach after 12 years of isolation
Two blind men’s cry for mercy
A mute man’s release from demonic oppression

These miracles aren’t just ancient history—they are living portraits of the Messiah’s power and compassion. They show us that:

Jesus is accessible to both the high and the lowly (Matthew 9:18–26)
Faith, even when imperfect, moves the heart of God (Matthew 9:20–22)
Prophecy is fulfilled in the Messiah’s works (Isaiah 35; Matthew 9:27–31)
The Kingdom of God overcomes darkness (Matthew 9:32–34)

💥Key Takeaways:

Faith Precedes Sight – The blind men believed before they saw, reminding us to trust God before the answer comes.
Desperation Draws Us to Jesus – Both Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood pressed past fear to reach Christ.
Jesus Responds to Imperfect Faith – Even superstitious or circumstantial faith can be the starting point for transformation.
The Kingdom is for All – From religious leaders to social outcasts, Jesus welcomes everyone who comes in faith.
Miracles Point to the Gospel – Physical healings are temporary; the greater gift is eternal life in Him.

📖 Theological Insights:

Christ as Messiah – Every miracle here fulfills messianic prophecy, particularly Isaiah 35:5–6, proving Jesus is the promised Son of David.
Grace Precedes Repentance – These individuals didn’t start with perfect understanding or repentance; God’s grace initiated the encounter.
Faith and Salvation – The Greek sozo (“made well”) used for the woman speaks of both physical and spiritual restoration, highlighting salvation’s wholeness.
Kingdom Authority – Jesus’s power over sickness, death, and demons reveals the inbreaking of God’s Kingdom into the present age.

Recognize Temporary vs. Eternal – Seek Jesus not just for what He can do now, but for who He is forever.
Be Kingdom-Minded – Just as Jesus restored individuals, we are called to extend His compassion and truth to those around us.
