This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.Continuing in Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson reveals the “two main areas of our existence”. This concept has a lot to do with the meaning of our existence and how we treat each other according to scripture.From verse 13 the word “reprove” or “convicted” is further defined due to popular request.What are the fruits of darkness? (verse 11)What did Paul mean when he wrote, “wake up, you who sleep”? (Verse 14) To whom was he referring? How does one do that? How are you able to know if you’re one of those who need to wake up?How does Elohim expect us to walk before Him? (Verse 15) Rabbi Berkson clarifies what it means to walk “exactly”. To what are we compared if we do or don’t “walk exactly”?Many ask Rabbi Berkson if he would take them “deeper” in their walk.

Episode 625: Love and Torah | Part 30
14/04/2021 Duración: 01h09minLove and Torah – what’s love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.Continuing our journey of the second of the Two Great Commands, ‘love your neighbor’, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us to Luke 6:38 where we see Messiah Yeshua continuing to show us the contrast between what Rabbi Berkson calls “the Below” and “the Above”. He points out that in order to please the Father, you must be aligned with “the Above”. A component of loving Yahweh and your neighbor is giving. What does that mean though? Rabbi Berkson clarifies how, when and why as pertaining to giving. He also points out an incentive to give, that whatever we give would be returned pressed down, shaken together and running over. Rabbi Berkson uses his trip to a Baskin-Robbins™ ice cream store to make the point.In Luke 6:39-40 Messiah Yeshua tells a parable of the blind leading the blind. Rabbi Berkson cautions and warns about where and from whom you get your information as you walk in

Episode 623: Trust the Process | William Jackson
24/03/2021 Duración: 01h06minThe greatest relationship any of us should invest in is with our trustworthy Creator. He has a plan for our lives that includes a ‘process’. If we trust Him, we will trust the process. The process will cause us to become the people the Creator wants to live with forever.Before we can trust the process we must correctly understand the definition of ‘trust’. We must understand what it means to be ‘trustworthy’, because only those who are considered ‘trustworthy’ will enter the Kingdom of Elohim. Those who are not are cast into outer darkness where there is “weeping and gnashing of teeth”, away from the Creator’s presence.Each of us have been given an ability by which the Creator can test our ‘trustworthiness’. That ability will be revealed to us at the right time, in the right circumstances.Watch and rewatch this teaching as it is vital to your spiritual growth. May you be blessed and instructed as you watch this teaching from Messianic Torah Observant Israel.Scriptures used in this teaching:• Matthew 25:23• De
