Messianic Torah Observant Israel

After a brief refreshing of the last four parts Rabbi Steve Berkson continues in Matthew 6:24, making the point that there are those who would start a teaching at this verse. He states that when other teachers skip ahead in this chapter some of the meaning of what Yehsua was getting across to his followers would be lost without the context of the previous twenty-three verses. Matthew 6:24 states a...

As he finishes the Tanakh portion of Darkness & Light, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes you to Proverbs 6:20-25 and makes the comparison of parental instruction and instruction from the Eternal Father. The way the author worded phrases in Proverbs was as a father talking to his son, but should be interpreted for you today as your heavenly Father talking to you. Rabbi Berkson also points out that the...

Some of the topics covered are: • How do we know if we are walking in darkness? Is it up to us to find out or Abba to reveal? • Should you try to convince someone that they should obey more than the Ten Commandments? • Messiah Yeshua showed us what discipline looks like • Is the immoral strange woman spoken of in Proverbs referring to a false religion? • Proverbs 2:9 says “every good path”–is ther...

Could there be those who are walking in varying degrees of darkness? How would they know? Is it possible that they think they’re walking in light, but are not? What would be your role in interacting with them? How do you get to the place where you trust anyone to teach you how to walk out your faith? Are there out there those who are anointed and appointed by the Creator with the ability to help y...

This is the same song as the older version.

• Can people go back into Darkness once they’ve been in the Light? (Isaiah 59:1-10) • What does it mean to “speak falsehood”? • How do “works” provide, or not provide, a “covering”? (Isaiah 59:6) • What are the two types of Darkness? • What is “thick” darkness? • How does the Light work in us toward others around us? • What does the phrase “In Your light we see light” mean? • Are there those who c...

Some of the topics covered are: • Should you try to determine if others are living in darkness or light? • How did Noah know which animals were clean and unclean? • What about the Shekinah of Yahweh? How is it related to this teaching? • Is “staying in the light” keeping oneself from worldly interests, i.e. drinking, movies, entertainment, etc? • Like Israel at the Jordan ready to cross over, wher...

This teaching begins a new series of teachings on the subject of darkness and light. From Genesis to Revelation the Bible has much to say and teach us about these two things that we humans experience in our physical world. While darkness and light are two separate entities, they are dependent on each other. Scientists have studied darkness and light extensively, not only on this earth, but also be...

Song for Mikeitz

Some of the topics covered are: • If you are looking to be moved up (in authority), maybe you are not ready to be moved up • Should “public correction” only be done by the leadership? • Meekness should not be confused with weakness • What’s with all these “leadership positions”, aren’t we all disciples of Messiah? • Is it the “job” of everyone to go out and “share the Gospel”? … and much more! Aft...

In Luke 14:1-14 we see Yeshua teaching about honor and shame using the example of the seating arrangement at a wedding feast, making the point about how shameful self-exaltation can be and how honorable it is to have genuine humility. As He was teaching He used a phrase, “resurrection of the righteous”–what does this mean? How are your vertical and horizontal relationships? Do you understand your...

Some of the topics covered are: • The reason I wear tzitzit is because…? • Storing up treasure in heaven? • What should I do when my “friends” attack my teacher to my face? … and much more! Afterburn: also known in the world of fitness as the “afterburn effect”, simply put; The more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward. The same could be true as you build up your spir...

There are events in your life that reflect whether or not you bring honor or shame to Messiah and the Father. In Luke 9:23 we hear Yeshua Messiah lay out the requirements for being a follower of Him. What does it mean to take up your stake daily? How does that bring honor? Have you been called into this walk to be miserable? Do you feel trapped in a cycle of guilt caused from your perception of “n...

Some of the topics covered are: • More on discipleship • Who is my neighbor? • Can I take the “Five-fold Ministry Quiz” to find out which one I am? • Is the wisdom talked about in Proverbs 8 Yeshua because of what He said in John 17:24? … and much more!

What better way is there to give honor to the Father than to follow in the steps of our teacher Messiah Yeshua and become one in every way with the Father. In this teaching, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues where we left off in John 17 where we find Yeshua praying for His disciples to be “one, even as we are one”. In an unexpected right turn, Rabbi Berkson takes us into Ephesians 4:11 to show us thro...

Some of the topics covered are: • Since Yeshua said He wasn’t praying for the world, how should we pray? • Should we pray for the “peace of Jerusalem”? • Keeping vs Guarding … and much more! Afterburn: also known in the world of fitness as the “afterburn effect”, simply put; The more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward. The same could be true as you build up your spi...

In John 17 we read about one of the last prayers Yeshua prayed, and He prayed not only for His disciples, but for us also. To begin the prayer, Yeshua prayed to be glorified/esteemed or honored so that His Father would also be honored. This should be a model for all who are Yeshua’s disciple, that we should seek honor only so that our Father would receive honor by the way we think, talk and act. F...

Some of the topics covered are: • Do I Have to Tell You More Than Once?! • What about the signs and wonders I saw before coming into Torah? • Is the healing referred to in John 12:40 emotional or spiritual or physical? … and much more!
