Messianic Torah Observant Israel

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...

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...

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...

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...

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!

In John 11:4 we see the event where a friend of Yeshua, Lazarus, is on his death bed and Yeshua says that His Father will receive honor in what happens. Rabbi Steve Berkson brings this event into your life today by pointing out that something you may be going through looks to be hopeless, but to hang on and stay strong, for when you come out of your situation you’ll be able to bring honor to your...

What qualified Yeshua to be able to teach with authority? Under who did He disciple? This is the question that the First-Century religious authority asked Yeshua right after He healed someone in a synagogue on Shabbat, as we find in the book of John chapter 7. Yeshua informs them that He has been discipled of His Father, something they could not understand or accept. They then attempt to publicly...
