Episode 618: Stay in Me | William Jackson
10/03/2021 Duración: 01h08minRabbi Steve Berkson would like to introduce Mr. William Jackson to the MTOI family. Among his many abilities and talents Mr. Jackson assists Rabbi Berkson in the administrative tasks, sings in the Praise Team, and is an accomplished speaker and teacher.In the Gospel of John chapter 15 Messiah Yeshua gave His disciples some final instructions before His execution/crucifixion by the occupying Romans, in which He told them emphatically, “Stay in Me”, because they could do nothing of themselves. (John 15:4)What does it mean to “stay in” Messiah? How do we stay connected to Him? Why is it so hard to stay in Him? Why is it so important to stay in Him?To connect the concept of “Stay in Me” Mr. Jackson takes us to Matthew chapter 25 and expounds on the two parables Messiah taught there – the Ten Virgins and their lamps and oil, and the man who gave his servants of his possessions to invest while he was on a trip. Mr. Jackson brings out understanding about these parables that few have heard before.You will be encourag

This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.Continuing our journey into the second of the Two Great Commands, ‘love your neighbor’, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us to Luke 6:20 where he shows us the event called the Sermon on the Mount.

Can you practice delayed gratification?• How can it be a bad thing when people speak well of you? What people?• How is it possible to love your enemy as Messiah taught us to? Were you ever an “enemy of Elohim”?

This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.There’s a lot of discussion out there between the different groups who claim to believe in the Creator and His Messiah, but have completely different perspectives from their belief.

In this teaching series, Love & Torah, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings clarity from the Scripture the answer to that question.Now that we’ve finished going through Psalm 119 where the focus is on the concept of loving Elohim, Rabbi Berkson now starts explaining the concept of loving each other.
