Using the Exodus story as a powerful metaphor, Rabbi Steve Berkson beautifully guides us through the journey from slavery to freedom. This message encourages us to believe in the possibility of change and deliverance, inspired by the Israelites’ escape from Egypt. It reminds us that real deliverance involves personal growth, not just external help. 

Rabbi Berkson, referencing Ephesians chapter two, highlights the significance of grasping its core message: to overcome hostility and accept the grace available to everyone through Messiah Yeshua by following the path that Elohim has laid out in His Torah.

• Intro/Review

• Yahweh’s Role in the Process - Step 3

• Ephesians 2:1-2 Authority over nothing?

• Ephesians 2:3 The battle for your mind

• Ephesians 2:4-7 Favor equals graciousness

• Ephesians 2:8 If we act in belief…

• Ephesians 2:9 What kind of moron…?

• Something funny about Ephesians 2:5

• Back to zero

• Ephesians 2:10 We should walk in these… 

• Ephesians 2:11 Two groups of people

• Ephesians 2:12 Having no expectation and without Elohim

• Ephesians 2:13-15 Messiah abolished what? 

• Ephesians 2:16 Restored to favor

• Ephesians 2:17-22 No longer strangers, but fellow citizens

Using the Exodus story as a powerful metaphor, Rabbi Steve Berkson beautifully guides us through the journey from slavery to freedom. This message encourages us to believe in the possibility of change and deliverance, inspired by the Israelites’ escape from Egypt. It reminds us that real deliverance involves personal growth, not just external help. 

The focus then gently shifts to Ephesians 4:17, urging us to let go of “futility of the mind” and embrace a fresh way of thinking and living in alignment with Elohim’s will.

It also highlights how a hardened heart, filled with pride and ego, can block us from recognizing our faults and receiving forgiveness. This hardening, which often stems from a distorted view of reality and denial of truth, can foster callousness that hinders our spiritual growth. Overcoming it calls for humility, awareness of our true nature, and a willingness to shed the old ways to develop a renewed mindset inspired by Messiah Yeshua’s teachings.

From Slavery to Freedom (Freeing Your Mind) | Part 1

• Intro
• Exodus 6 - Yahweh has heard your moaning and groaning
• The four parts of Yahweh’s role in our journey to freedom
• What is enslaving us today? (Ephesians 4:17)
• Fly or splat - Removing the roadblocks 
• Renew the spirit of your mind
• Philippians 2 - Let this mind be in you…
• Ephesians 4:24-29 – How we should behave 
• When you do this, you grieve the set-apart spirit 
• He causes you to recognize what is enslaving you
• He shows you the way to escape 
• The growth comes in the struggle
