Messianic Torah Observant Israel

Has the One who chose a group of people from among a group of people and set them apart unto Himself rejected those people? Has now another group of people replaced them? Weren’t there promises made according to The Covenant that was made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Wasn’t there an expectation by the chosen people that those promises were for them?

What does the Prophet Ezekiel have to say about the chosen people? What are the “sticks and bones” in Ezekiel chapter 37 all about? What are the “graves”? How do they connect with something Yeshua Messiah said?

What is “the stuff before the then”?

Rabbi Steve Berkson unpacks all this and more here in part 4. He also reminds us that periodically we need to stop and evaluate where we are in our walk to determine if we’re on the right path or if we need to backup to where we made a wrong turn and get back into the right direction.

What’s wrong with Christianity? Aren’t there “good people” there? Most of us who are now in the Messianic Torah Observant community came from Christianity.

Wasn’t there anything good we learned from being there? Can’t we bring something over with us as we’ve transitioned to Torah observance?

Didn’t we consider ourselves as “saved” while under that system?

What deadly disease can the system of Christianity be compared to?

Rabbi Steve Berkson brings extremely important answers and perspective to these and many other thoughts and questions regarding “come out of her my people”, as well as “get her out of you my people”.

After a quick review of part 1, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues exploring the doctrine of “once saved, always saved” and the relationship between salvation, faith and works.

Rabbi Steve plays the little game called, “What if I had the power to live forever and could choose those with whom to live forever.”
During the Pesach seder, the tradition of “The Four Cups” is performed–the four cups being Sanctification, Deliverance, Redemption and Acceptance, aka, “the “salvation process”.

In this teaching Rabbi Steve focuses on the last three cups.
Deliverance–deliverance from what? The Law? Which law?
Redemption–what is redemption? Who was redeemed and who was the redeemer?
Acceptance–where do we see an acceptance by The Creator of a people? What did that look like? How do you know if you’ve been accepted? Is there an expectation by anyone to do something?

Do you really understand what it means to say “I’m saved!”? From what are you saved? How were you saved? When did this “salvation” happen? Now that you are “saved”, what more is there to do? Are you saved by “faith” or by “works”?
Rabbi Steve Berkson addresses these questions and more as he begins this series that is crucial to having a solid foundation of your faith.

Can the dead come to life today? Rabbi Steve Berkson kicks this teaching off by taking you to Ephesians 2 where the Apostle Paul writes about the dead coming to life. This is also found in Colossians 3 where it reads, “If, then, you were raised with Messiah…
Do you know what things to do to please your spouse? Are you doing what is pleasing to The Creator, in the way He intended? Rabbi Steve takes you to Matthew 22 to begin to understand what you need to do in order to please Abba. We see Yeshua quoting the “v’ahavta”, Deuteronomy 6:5-9, saying that we should love Yahweh with all of our mind. Also as is written in Philippians 2:5 that you “let this mind be in you that was also in Messiah Yeshua.” The word ‘let’ indicates a personal responsibility to allow this to happen.
In Romans 12 Rabbi Steve brings out that it is your “reasonable service” to renew your mind so that you will know how to please your Heavenly Father. Again, it is evident that it is your responsibility to do this as you are motivated by love–His for you and yours for Him.
Yeshua said, “take my yoke upon you”, referring to His teaching and discipleship. Rabbi Steve takes you to Luke 24 to make the point of discipleship under an anointed and appointed teacher being crucial to learning the correct way of thinking about how you walk out your faith.

Continuing the topic, “The Mind and Thinking of Man, and How It Relates to Authority”, Rabbi Steve Berkson once again redefines words and terms that have been lost to time and culture.
Rabbi Steve takes us first to the Gospel of Matthew 16:21 where we see Yeshua telling His disciples how He would die and then be brought back to life. But Peter rebukes Him and Yeshua rebukes Peter back; was Peter demon-possessed?
How is the thought process related to becoming an enemy of God?
Continuing, Rabbi Steve takes us to Romans 8 where he unpacks the writing of Paul in a way you probably have not heard before. Which “law” is being talked about? Is it always referring to the Torah? What is meant by “Spirit”? Is it a wispy, smoke-like thing that enters a human?
Find out which verse it is that is key to understanding that Yeshua Messiah died for the world.

Continuing the topic, “The Mind and Thinking of Man, and How It Relates to Authority”, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us to Luke 8:5-18 and the parable of the Sower and the Seed. We know that the “seed” is the Word of God and the “soil” is our heart. Rabbi Steve teaches us about the “soil/heart” and how it interacts with the “seed/Word of God”, and how the way we think has a huge part in that interaction. Are you submissive to the authority of the Word of God?
Why should you pay attention when the scriptures tell you to “take heed”?
Does the Holy Spirit teach you directly without a person, or do we need teachers today?
This and much more in this week’s teaching.

Rabbi Steve Berkson continues the topic, “The Mind and Thinking of Man, and How It Relates to Authority”. He begins by taking us to Matthew 10:34 with a warning, “Do not jump to conclusions!” Did Yeshua Messiah come to bring “peace”? Many believe that is true, but what does Yeshua’s own words say? What did He mean when he said your family would become your enemy?

Rabbi Steve Berkson continues the topic, “The mind and thinking of man, and how it relates to authority”. He begins in Matthew 3 where we see Yochanan (John), the immerser preaching and immersing the people. Rabbi Steve points out that it’s highly likely, Yochanan was the legitimate High Priest of his time, which is why the people were coming out to him.
We see the religious rulers of that time coming out to see what’s going on and Yochanan calls them out, saying, “Do not think to say to yourselves…”. They thought they didn’t need what Yochanan was doing because of their genealogy, being descendants of Abraham, they were alright. It’s a “thinking process” for bad or for good.

“We think, unfortunately, with our own agenda–we need to be thinking with His agenda–how do we take His agenda and turn it into actions, habits and Destiny?”

“We live according to His Word because of our love for him, our trust in Him, belief in Him–knowing that what we do is going to bring the rewards He has promised us.”

Rabbi Steve packs this teaching with concepts and principles that you can use right now in your walk.
