Ep 717Episode 717: Evil | Part 8
People typically don’t engage in normal conversation on the topic of ‘evil’, although maybe a glancing discussion when they see something in a news headline or a movie/TV show that portrays something as they perceive as evil. But, do you know how much ‘evil’ is written about in your Bible? Do you know what the true, scriptural definition of ‘evil’ is? How does this knowledge affect your walk of faith.Rabbi Steve Berkson is one of the small few that would take on the challenge of teaching from scripture about the topic of ‘evil’. You will be amazed and often surprised as Rabbi Berkson dissects the verses from the Bible, one-by-one if necessary, to teach what has been revealed to him and how these revelations will definitely impact your life – both physically and spiritually.Rabbi Berkson decides to start from the beginning, in the book of Genesis, as he has done in other teachings, to provide a comprehensive understanding of this topic. • Jeremiah 13 - The completely worthless girdle• The stubbornness of their heart• Sending a mixed message• Send them to the teacher• ‘Listening’ is an active process• Getting more out of the teachings• They need to put the mic down• Walking after other mighty ones?• “Can I pray for you?”• Jeremiah 16 - Doing according to your evil heart• Jeremiah 16:12 - If you weren’t so stubborn• Yahweh provides a way back• Jeremiah 16:16 - The fishermen and the hunters• Jeremiah 16:19 - Our fathers have inherited liesDon't miss out on new teachings every week.

Ep 704Episode 704: Evil | Part 2
People typically don’t engage in normal conversation on the topic of ‘evil’, although maybe a glancing discussion when they see something in a news headline or a movie/TV show that portrays something as they perceive as evil. But, do you know how much ‘evil’ is written about in your Bible? Do you know what the true, scriptural definition of ‘evil’ is? How does this knowledge affect your walk of faith.Rabbi Steve Berkson is one of the small few that would take on the challenge of teaching from scripture about the topic of ‘evil’. You will be amazed and often surprised as Rabbi Berkson dissects the verses from the Bible, one-by-one if necessary, to teach what he has discovered and how these discoveries will definitely impact your life – both physically and spiritually.Rabbi Berkson decides to start from the beginning, in the book of Genesis, as he has done in other teachings, to provide a comprehensive understanding of this topic. • Genesis 6:5 - A ‘state of being’ that is evil• Genesis 6:6 - Elohim was sorry He made man• Genesis 6:7 - Noach (Noah) found grace• Genesis 8:15-21 - Even though the evil is still there• You must align your desires with Elohim’s desires• Genesis 13:1-8 - Avraham and Lot• Genesis 13:13 - The men of Sodom were evil• 2 Chronicles 12:13 - Seeking Yahweh for instructionDon't miss out on new teachings every week.

Ep 701Episode 701: Love and Torah | Part 59
Love 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.In this final episode Rabbi Steve Berkson moves to the 17th chapter of the Gospel according to John. This is where we we see Messiah Yeshua praying to His Father for those whom He chose and discipled to continue the work that He started.Then moving to Deuteronomy chapter 30, Rabbi Berkson shows us that the plan of Elohim was to exile His people to other nations because of their disobedience, but that they would be regathered and once again do the commandments they were given which included loving their Elohim.In Matthew 24 we see how a lawless generation devolves into love turning cold. Do not be deceived by false prophets who would tell you Torah is not for today or you could fall into the lawless category, thinking you have a relationship with Messiah and the Father, but coming up short at the end. And finally, Rabbi Berkson takes us to Roman 8:28 to show us how Love is connected to Torah-keeping as the verse says, “all things work together for the good…”Rabbi Berkson once again dissects these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Ep 699Episode 699: Love and Torah | Part 58
Love 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.Picking up where we left off in the Gospel of John chapter 15, Rabbi Steve Berkson picks up in verse 16 where he explains how Yeshua has chosen us to be a part of His work here on the earth. Even though at that time He was talking directly to His disciples, giving them instruction before He was about to be killed, His words can apply to us today if we will allow ourselves to be discipled through His Holy Spirit and produce the fruit He expects to see.All of what Rabbi Berkson has unpacked from John 15 is about love for one another in the way the Father expects us to love. We are called and chosen so that we are no longer a part of the world and its ways. As we pull away from the world to follow Messiah and live according to Torah we will experience a disdain from others who do not understand Messiah or why we choose to follow Him.Rabbi Berkson once again dissects these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Ep 697Episode 697: Love and Torah | Part 57
Love 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 in the book of 1 John, Rabbi Steve Berkson begins this teaching in chapter 5 where John tells us that belief in Messiah Yeshua and all that carries with it does not come from us, but that belief or knowledge and relationship has been birthed in us from above.In verses 2 and 3 Rabbi Berkson points out that, again, love is connected to Torah Observance and that the commandments of Yahweh are not heavy or burdensome.In verse 4 John calls us who believe, overcomers. Having been born of Elohim and given the ability to have a relationship with Messiah Yeshua we overcome the world through that belief. Rabbi Berkson clarifies what overcoming the world looks like – we see things and respond to challenges in our lives differently than the way the world does.Moving on, Rabbi Berkson takes us to the Gospel of John, same writer, different book, to link what we learned from 1 John with what is being conveyed in the gospel writing. Yeshua speaks metaphorically of the relationship we have with Him and the Father by using vines and branches and a gardener who takes care of the whole thing.Rabbi Berkson once again dissects these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Ep 695Episode 695: Love and Torah | Part 56
Love 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.In the review of the last episode, Rabbi Berkson cautions about deceptive teachers as John also cautioned in 1 John 4:1. This deception is at work today in some faiths in that they are actually a “World System mixed with Truth”. As Rabbi Berkson points out, some people have a tough time hearing the message from the Word of Elohim because it’s not delivered in a way that matches their predetermined ideas of how it should be dispensed. The teachers in this system are also guarded in what they say and how they say it because of being more concerned with offending people than with pleasing Elohim.In 1 John 4:7 Rabbi Berkson begins this teaching by explaining how we are to love each other who are of the same mind in Messiah. He explains the if we can’t love each other, how can we extend any love outside of ourselves and to those whom Elohim would want to have in covenant with Him.In verse 9 the word ‘manifest’ is used and Rabbi Berkson wants to make sure the definition of that word does not get lost in any previous understanding we may have. The word ‘manifest’ means to be revealed to the seeing eye. Messiah is manifested through us as we live through Him, not the other way around, loving others as He would love them.Rabbi Berkson once again dissects these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Love 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.Returning to the letter of 1 John, Rabbi Steve Berkson begins this teaching in chapter 3. He proclaims how wonderful it is that Yahweh is pleased to call us His children. Rabbi Steve goes on to say that because the world does not understand Yahweh, they will not understand us either. But we understand Yahweh because He has chosen to reveal Himself to us by opening our eyes and our ears. The day is coming when Messiah appears we will understand completely because as John puts it, we shall be like Him.

Ep 691Episode 691: Love and Torah | Part 54
Love 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.From the first nine verses of the book of John, chapter 14, Rabbi Steve Berkson shows us how Messiah Yeshua was the “ultimate expression of discipleship” under His Father. So we should, as followers of Messiah, be as such so that others will see Yeshua represented in us and ultimately see the Father.What did Yeshua do? He walked out the Torah-observant life perfectly. He invites us to do what He did, and He provides help in sending His Spirit.What’s in a name? Yeshua says, “if you ask whatever in My Name…” Does this mean if His Name is invoked, like a magic genie He has to do one’s bidding? Rabbi Steve clarifies what Messiah meant when He told us to use His Name.Rabbi Berkson once again dissects these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

That through this understanding we should do our utmost to live in the light, having fellowship with Elohim and with each other. This fellowship is achievable only through living in covenant with Elohim in which is only light and no darkness at all.In chapter 2 of 1 John, Rabbi Berkson starts with revealing the number one problem, according to him, in the Body of Messiah today.• How can you know that you know Messiah?• How is the love of Elohim ‘perfected’ in you?• What is a ‘stumbling block’? How does it affect your life and walk?• What is meant by “do not love the World nor that which is in it”?• Are we in the “Last Hour”?• What is an ‘anti-messiah’?• Why did John say, “and you know all…”?• What happens when someone rejects Torah?• How do you know that you are “born of Him”?You can only understand Love and Torah when you can understand how light and darkness can influence and work in your life.Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Ep 680Episode 680: Shuva Yisra’el (Return O’ Israel) | Part 5
Have you maintained a faithful, straight walk in Torah? Or, have you gotten “off the path” a little or a lot? Do you sense a call to return to the path, to Yahweh?As Rabbi Steve Berkson finishes this teaching series, he begins his text in Joel 2:12 where we see Elohim giving His people instruction for how to return to Him. As Rabbi Berkson points out, Yahweh expects those who are returning to Him to be serious about repairing the breach in the relationship.• What is tearing your garments? Why does Elohim want a tearing of the heart instead?• What does Elohim do to get your attention so that you return to the path?In Jeremiah 32:37-42, Yahweh says that as much as He brought evil to His people for their turning away from Him, so He will just as much bring good to those who return.• When Elohim says, “I shall give them one heart…”, is He just going to hand out new hearts to everybody?• Ephesians chapter 2 talks to us about the opportunity given to us to become what?Moving to Isaiah 1:16-20, Rabbi Berkson points out that with a holistic understanding of scripture, it’s not possible to get the message that Elohim just gives us everything. He also points out that the scriptures can also be used by many to make conclusions for erroneous agendas.• What is a ‘holistic’ approach to the Scriptures?• How could someone prove from Scripture that their chicken was the Messiah?• What is evil? How does Yahweh define evil?• When Elohim says, “Come let us reason together…” (Isaiah 1:18), does that mean Yahweh wants your input?Going forward to Isaiah chapter 58, Rabbi Steve clarifies the understanding that to truly be in covenant with our Creator, there are two things that have to work together.• Is this chapter only referring to Yom Kippur?• Doesn’t Elohim always responding to fasting and afflicting ourselves?• What are the two things it takes to please Elohim?• How does Rabbi Berkson interpret ‘speaking your own words’?Verse-by-verse and step-by-step Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us on the journey of discovery as we learn how to covenant with our Creator and Father, which, from time to time requires us to turn around and return (Shuva) to His Word so that we can have a sure entrance into His Kingdom.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Ep 678Episode 678: Shuva Yisra’el (Return O’ Israel) | Part 4
Have you maintained a faithful, straight walk in Torah? Or, have you gotten “off the path” a little or a lot? Do you sense a call to return to the path, to Yahweh?Continuing from the last episode, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us from Ezekiel chapter 18 to chapter 33. In the first part of the chapter, Yahweh appoints the prophet Ezekiel to be a “watchman” who would warn the people of that time of the judgment coming upon them. Yahweh also gave clear instructions for how this appointment should be performed, with a warning to the prophet of the consequences should he not perform his duties.• Can anyone take away from this passage that they too are a “watchman”?• What is the danger in claiming to be someone appointed by Yahweh?• How did Rabbi Steve define ‘crookedness’?• What is the difference between your righteousness and Elohim’s righteousness?• What is your part in getting into the Kingdom of Elohim?• What will you be doing in the Millennium?• What is the real test of your pursuing Torah?• When is an apology not an apology?• What is the difference between a ‘won’t and a ‘can’t’?• Are your sins truly forgotten?• What is the one “salvation issue”?Verse-by-verse and step-by-step Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us on the journey of discovery as we learn how to covenant with our Creator and Father, which, from time to time requires us to turn around and return (Shuva) to His Word so that we can have a sure entrance into His Kingdom.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Ep 677Episode 677: Shuva Yisra’el (Return O’ Israel) | Part 3
Have you maintained a faithful, straight walk in Torah? Or, have you gotten “off the path” a little or a lot? Do you sense a call to return to the path, to Yahweh?After a quick review of the last two episodes, Rabbi Steve Berkson shows us from Jeremiah 33:7-8 how Yahweh promised to, “turn back (Shuva) the captivity of Judah and Israel and build them as at the first.”In this passage, why does Yahweh mention both Judah and Israel?• When was “at the first”? (Exodus 6:6) How can you relate to this concept today?• How can you “return” if you were not born and raised as an Israeli?• What is the first step of ‘returning’?• What is the ‘Egypt’ that is over you today?• What are the two levels of redemption that Messiah Yeshua provided for us?• For what is the Land (of Israel) a metaphor?• What is the 2-step process of “return” promised in Jeremiah 33:8?From there, Rabbi Berkson takes us to Ezekiel chapter 18. In this chapter we see how we individually will be held accountable for our behavior and the importance of “owning” our choices.• Why are the words, “Thus said Yahweh” important?• What is a ‘nephesh’ and how has it been improperly defined?• Is a son held accountable for the father’s unrighteousness, or visa-versa?• Is there such a thing as “generational curses”?• Do you really reap what you sow?• How can I make a new heart and spirit?Verse-by-verse and step-by-step Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us on the journey of discovery as we learn how to covenant with our Creator and Father, which, from time to time requires us to turn around and return (Shuva) to His Word so that we can have a sure entrance into His Kingdom.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.
