Messianic Torah Observant Israel

In the original languages of Hebrew and Greek, the meaning of the word ‘repentance’ is fundamentally the same: to turn around, or to turn back. Being a vital element of a relationship with the Creator, Elohim grants the gift of repentance to those He chooses. Within that gift of repentance is a sense of remorse and regret. When repentance is from a sincere heart, the relationship is restored.

Rabbi Steve Berkson teaches the deep and sometimes hidden meaning of repentance and all it involves.

• Opener
• Review
• Acts 3:19 – Turn back to what?
• Acts 3:1-19 – The miracles were intended to inspire repentance 
• Acts 3:20 – Repentance & the return of Messiah
• Dispensational thinking?
• Authority decides
• Jeremiah 31:31 – Is it really a “new covenant”?
• Life is an audition?
• That would be dumb, right?
• The covenants build upon each other 
• Acts 3:19 – For the blotting out of your sins
• Acts 3:19-21 – Restoration of all matters 
• Acts 3:22 – A prophet like me 
• Acts 3:22-26 – The covenant made with our fathers?
