Covenanted people need not worry–Yahweh is faithful to His side of the covenant.

In this episode, Rabbi Steve Berkson places emphasis on “emunah”, which is Hebrew for faith/trust/belief, as it pertains to being covenanted with our Elohim.

What is/are the sign(s) of The Covenant? Is baptism/immersion a sign of The Covenant?

Who are those that are a part of The Covenant?

Rabbi Steve Berkson takes some time making sure we understand what it is we’re involved with–The Covenant between The Creator and us. It is important we are not going on what we think we know.

There’s only one covenant that we should be concerned about, right? What if there are more than one covenant in play, with some overlapping others, that we need to understand and be concerned about?

In part 2 of this teaching on covenants, Rabbi Steve Berkson gets into more detail about Yahweh’s covenant with Noah, Abraham and Isaac.

Are all covenants the same? How is a “promise” different than a “covenant”?

What does the word “perfect” or “blameless” mean? (Gen 17:1)

What does it mean to be “of the seed of Abraham”?

Circumcision is not for today, is it?

Did anyone in Acts 15 have the authority to add to, subtract from, or alter Torah?

Why was Abraham picked to be in covenant with Yahweh?

Song: Dip the Apple in the Honey

Now that you’ve learned about the relationship between salvation, faith and works, and that “saved” is not a status in the “Are You Saved” series, it makes sense to learn about the one thing that could be considered a status worth bearing–being “in covenant” or “covenanted”.

In this series Rabbi Steve Berkson begins to define “covenant” as seen throughout scripture; covenants between persons and covenants between Elohim and mankind. Sometimes Yahweh makes a covenant with himself. Other times in scripture we see Yahweh making a covenant with His creation.

When was the first covenant established?

What’s the difference between a promise and a covenant?

How is being covenanted going to affect your life? Do you understand what you’re getting into?

If we already “possess” everlasting life, why are we instructed by Messiah Yeshua in John chapter 6 not to labor for the bread that perishes but rather for the bread that is remaining unto everlasting life which the Son of Adam gives? What is that “bread” referring to? How do men get this concept wrong?

From there, Rabbi Steve takes us deeper into the Gospel of John, chapter 10 verse 24, where we see the followers/disciples of Messiah Yeshua referred to as sheep. Who are his sheep? Who are not his sheep? What does it mean to be considered his sheep.

What is the heavenly hierarchy?

From there Rabbi Steve moves us to 1 John chapter 5 and asks the question, what does it mean that we should possess the Son? (5:12)

Then lastly Rabbi Steve takes us to 1 John chapter 2 where we see the importance of having a relationship with the Messiah. How do we have a relationship with the Messiah?

Do you, right now, have eternal life? Do you possess everlasting life as Messiah taught about in the Gospel of John chapter 3 verse 36?

This week’s teaching from Rabbi Steve Berkson is on the topic, Possessing Everlasting Life. This is an important topic to clarify simply because most people are taught that salvation “equals” everlasting life…but, is that true?

Rabbi Steve takes us into the Gospel of John chapter 5, with a brief moment in chapter 6 (by mistake…or was it?).

Continuing in the book of Revelation, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us into chapter 3 where we find Messiah Yeshua continuing to give His praise and correction to the seven assemblies.

In this teaching Rabbi Steve asks questions such as, “what does the word ‘complete’ mean?”, “Why does Messiah Yeshua refer to Himself as a thief?”, “What about this idea of being worthy?”, “What is meant by ‘white garments’?”

When the text talks about “name”, what does that actually mean? Is it really a name?

Who are the ones referred to as “the synagogue (or congregation) of satan”?

All the way to the very end of Revelation, by what do we see that each of us will be rewarded or judged?
