Messianic Torah Observant Israel

Starting off with a powerful verse from 2 Corinthians 10:18, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues what he started in the last teaching on the third topic from James 1:12 of being “proved” or tested through trials.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlWell Done, Good & Trustworthy ServantUnderstanding the Ruach/SpiritThe Pursuit of RighteousnessWhose Eyes are You Right In?The Fear of YahwehDon't miss out on new teachings every week.

Why endure? One reason is that through the enduring process, you have the opportunity to walk as the Messiah Yeshua walked. Isn’t that something that is required of us? To continue showing us where endurance is talked about, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us to Luke 21 where in verse 19 we see Yeshua telling His disciples that they will “possess your lives by your endurance!” Then Rabbi Steve moves into “how do we endure?” Taking us to Matthew 23 he explains the Parable of the Sower from the perspective of endurance.In this teaching Rabbi Steve begins the next section of James 1:12, ‘When He Has Been Proved’.

Continuing in the theme of “Why Endure?”, Rabbi Steve Berkson ponders if a human being can live without limitations. If we can do all things through Messiah who strengthens us, where are the limitations? Who imposed them?Rabbi Steve takes us first to James 5 where we see the duty we have been given to “establish your heart” in order to patiently endure and wait for the plan of Yahweh to play out. In James 1 we see that the writer has completely lost his mind when he says to “count it all joy when you fall into various trials”. How can anyone do that? But going on he clarifies by saying that you should know that the proving of your belief works endurance. So, it is the trial that gives opportunity to show Yahweh where you stand, and endure even though you may be mistreated unfairly or unjustly.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlCC101: Discovering Your Identity Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Yeshua said to his disciples, “But he who shall have endured to the end shall be saved.” What? So, saying the “sinner’s prayer” or taking the “Romans Road”, isn’t that how “salvation” is achieved? What does Yeshua mean by “endured to the end”? What end? Endure what?Rabbi Steve Berkson clarifies what it means to have endurance in regards to your faith.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlAre You Saved?Cling, Cleave, Hold FastLearn and Teach the Torah Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Who is the person that will receive the “Crown of Life”? What does he/she look like? Continuing on the idea of “Blessed is the Man”, as it says in James (Ya’akov) 1:12, Rabbi Steve Berkson begins by having us look into Psalm 94 where we see that discipline connected to instruction in Torah is a part of the process of receiving the Crown of Life.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlThe Heart of the MatterThe Fear of YahwehThe Search for the Doctrine of GraceAre You Listening?

There is a day of judgment coming. Are you ready to stand before the Judge of all? According to what will you be judged? What are “the Books” that will be opened at the Judgment? What kind of people should we be knowing that this event is just ahead of us?Rabbi Steve Berkson asks the question, “Are You Listening?” He takes us to Deuteronomy chapter 4 to show the example of Moses exhorting the people just before they go into the Promised Land saying “And now, O Yisra’ĕl, listen to the laws and the right-rulings which I am teaching you to do, so that you live, and shall go in and possess the land which יהוה Elohim of your fathers is giving you.”Excerpt From: Copyright 2012 by ISR. “The Scriptures 1998.” iBooks.

Where do we see in the scriptures examples of what to do or not do on Shabbat? Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us into some to the fine points regarding our behavior on Shabbat. He also gives us his favorite two verses that can be used to make a decision on anything that you may or may not do on Shabbat.Is Isaiah 58 only referring to Yom Kippur? Rabbi Steve gives us his thoughts. How about Colossians 2:16–those who would judge you regarding the Sabbath? Rabbi Steve clarifies what this passage is referring to. What about the famous issue of “the ox in the ditch”? It may not be what it seems.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlCovenant Community 101: Discovering Your IdentityThe Heart of the Matter Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

What does it mean to “desecrate” or “profane” something? What is considered “work”? Did the Creator do something special to the Shabbat when He blessed it? Should we stay at home on Shabbat or meet together?Rabbi Steve Berkson addresses these questions and more as he gets into the “nuts and bolts” of how to observe the Sabbath (Shabbat).Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlThe Fear of Yahweh Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Do you know and understand Shabbat (Sabbath)? Does Shabbat really apply to the people of today? Is Shabbat just “that Jewish thing?” When the word ‘forever’ or ‘perpetual’ is attached to Shabbat, does it really mean to the end of time and beyond? Rabbi Steve Berkson wants to start this multi-part teaching about this most critical observance by helping you find your motivation for keeping the Shabbat. Without the proper understanding of why, just knowing the mechanics really won’t take you very far.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlCC101: Discovering Your IdentityInfocus - The Law of First MentionCC101: The Appointed Times of Yahweh Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

What is the “biblical calendar”? Who has the authority to say so? At this point in time does anyone really know?This teaching is not intended to proclaim a “correct” calendar, but rather how the decision was made concerning the biblical calendar issue that would provide a shalom-filled solution to the Body of Messiah. Rabbi Steve Berkson says it was a “wilderness-wisdom decision”.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlCC101: Discovering Your IdentityCC101: ShabbatDon't miss out on new teachings every week.

With the absence of division, unity is revealed. This teaching focuses on how we should treat each other as the Body of Messiah. Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us first to Matthew 5:43 where we see Yeshua teaching to love not only each other, but also those who may be considered an enemy in some way, blessing those who curse and doing good to those who would spitefully use us. In doing so we would become children of our heavenly Father.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.
