Messianic Torah Observant Israel

Rabbi Steve Berkson continues The Heart of the Matter series by exploring what the Gospel of Luke has to say about the heart. What is the definition of ‘blameless’? (Luke 1:6) What does it mean to “turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the insight of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for יהוה.”? (Luke 1:17)

Moving into the Gospel of Mark Rabbi Steve Berkson teaches us about ‘reasoning in our hearts’ and how this usually doesn’t turn out very well. Then Rabbi Steve gives amazing insight into the event of the ‘cursing of the fig tree,’ how it is related to the ‘overturning of the money changers tables and seats of those who sold doves and the statement of Yeshua about ‘casting this mountain into the sea.’

Rabbi Steve Berkson starts part 42 of The Heart of the Matter in Matthew 15 and ‘traditions’. Are they good or bad? Rabbi Steve teaches us how to know. How well do you understand the concept of ‘forgiveness’? It is definitely at the heart of the matter as Yeshua teaches His disciples about it in Matthew chapter 18.
Then, Rabbi Steve takes us to Matthew chapter 22 to show us how Yeshua handled being tested by the religious system of that time who were always trying to discredit Yeshua by His own words and disable His ministry.
Who is actually “Left Behind”? How should we be preparing for the Messiah’s return?

Part 40 of The Heart of the Matter begins the study on the subject of our hearts as the writers wrote about it in the Brit Chadasha (New Testament), the Gospel of Matthew. Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us to the event called the Sermon on the Mount where Yeshua had a discipling time with His taught-ones. Questions to ponder in this teaching: What is our role to play in our walk before the Creator?, Didn’t Yeshua do all that is necessary for our salvation?, What are the “good works” that Yeshua talked about?, What is it that defines ‘righteousness’?

Rabbi Tom Mitchell from Beth Shalom Messianic Congregation, an affiliate of MTOI, brings an interesting perspective on several topics related to water. He begins with teaching about the process of immersion (baptism), then using the names of some of the Torah Portions to “paint a picture” of what’s happening in Israel today. The teaching then turns to the comparison of the Torah and rain.

In the first section of Understanding the Ruach/Spirit - Part 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson wraps up the idea of the doctrine of the Trinity by going to Luke 4:1, the account of Yeshua being led by the Spirit into the wilderness. Then Rabbi Berkson addresses the notion that some teach saying the Holy Spirit was not before Acts chapter 2. By going through many scriptures he points out the fact that the Ruach haKodesh has been ever present since the beginning of creation. Each one of us has been given a portion of the Spirit of Elohim as our breath of life and consciousness. In other ways, such as an anointing or inspiration to speak the Word or the mind of the Creator as did John the Baptist, King David and the other prophets.
