Messianic Torah Observant Israel

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.This episode from the beginning of Sukkot starts with Rabbi Steve Berkson taking us to the passage in the Gospel of John, chapter 7, where we see Yeshua Messiah standing up at the day called Shemini Atzerat which finishes the feast, declaring Himself to be the Waters of Life. Rabbi Berkson points out that Messiah said “Anyone who thirsts…” – but does everyone get to drink?From there Rabbi Berkson takes us to John 4:5-15, the story of the woman at the well, where Messiah Yeshua offered Living Water to her and also declared to her, one of only two people, that He was the Messiah. Rabbi Berkson points out the time of day this happened from which he brings a “deeper understanding” as to what the time of day had to do with the story which was the sixth hour of the day. What could be the “hour of man”?From there we go back to Psalm 119, but before he gets into that Rabbi Berkson gives instruction and encouragement in regards to studying the Word. It matters not how you do it – just do it, the way you do it.Then going into Psalm 119 starting in verse 114, Rabbi Berkson reminds us the purpose of taking this psalm verse-by-verse is that you would place yourself in the shoes of King David. You should feel what he felt through the words he wrote. Then you should apply the same love for Torah and place the same value and importance to your walk as he did.Who are the “evil-doers”? How does the Scripture define evil? Rabbi Berkson shows us plainly. Who or what are the “witnesses”? Rabbi Berkson expounds how these impact our lives.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.Related Teachings can be found here:• Understanding the Ruach/Spirit https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_0Mi7M6VeNIqg8eu1f_QBm• INfocus: Emunah https://youtu.be/UxxiMAbTEwA• Let Me Not Be Ashamed https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/steveberkson/episodes/2012-08-25T17_59_32-07_00• INfocus: Put the Mic Down! https://youtu.be/QTH6Vc2ssqQ• INfocus: Messi-Mutt https://youtu.be/pL4EeaQbOKk• INfocus: Do Not Be Called Rabbi https://youtu.be/pL4EeaQbOKk• INfocus: Whac-a-Mole https://youtu.be/uhd-FAhQ8Kg• INfocus: That’s Not Submission https://youtu.be/a73Wn6jCz_E• Are You Listening? https://youtu.be/eLpI3SFHSF4Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it?

What teachers?Did King David have a problem with arrogance? Do you?What does it mean to “restrain my feet”? Doesn’t Satan cause me to do wrong? How do you picture Satan, the devil? Would you recognize that creature if it were before you?How does our Creator define evil? How do humans define evil? Do the definitions match?In what way will living in the Millennium be harder for some? What will be taken away from humans once haSatan is bound for a thousand years?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.

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 Psalm 119, the question Rabbi Steve Berkson asks of you is, as you read the writings of King David can you feel and think the same way he did?

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 Psalm 119, Rabbi Steve Berkson shows us from the writings of King David the love he had and expressed toward the Law/Torah. As we look at King David’s writings, what becomes apparent is the range of emotions he expresses toward Yahweh and His commandments, statutes and ordinances. Rabbi Berkson shows how to see ourselves in the actions and feelings of those we read and hear about in the scriptures. Not only to see ourselves, but also how to conduct ourselves possibly in a different, better way.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.

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 episode, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us to the book of Psalms starting in Psalm 11. He points out the contrast between two types of people – those who are called “the wrong”, and “the upright”. Yahweh loves those who pursue righteousness, doing what He has determined is right, and He hates those who know to do right, but don’t.Then moving to Psalm 33, Rabbi Berkson shows us how Yahweh, because of His great love, created everything by the word of His mouth, His Torah. If that was not enough, He takes from His creation a group of humans and calls them His inheritance – those who love Him enough to walk in all of His ways.From there Rabbi Berkson leads us into the 119th Psalm that was written by the man who was called the man after Yah’s own heart. You can see this by the way King David wrote about the Torah of Yah and how he loved it and Him.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.

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.Does Yahweh have a “Love Language”? Continuing the focus on our relationship with Elohim, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us to Deuteronomy chapter 11 to discover if Yahweh has a “Love Language” and if so, can we know what that is.From there Rabbi Berkson moves us to Deuteronomy chapter 13 to show us that Yahweh warned us about those who through deception could take us away from Him. It is our responsibility to have one who is our anointed/appointed teacher so that we can know the real and not be deceived by the false.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.

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.Taking us to Deuteronomy chapter 7 Rabbi Steve Berkson establishes some context in how Love and Torah are connected. He brings out for our understanding how Elohim has established a relationship of love that is based on an “if/then” – if we do what He wants, to fear Him and guard His commandments, then He gives us what He has promised.What are the three things Torah does for us? What is the plea of Yahweh and where do we find it?Who’s influencing you more, Yahweh or family, friends, etc.? From that question Rabbi Berkson goes into an in-depth life-coaching session that includes handling situations with others that may more influence on you than they should.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.

Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it?What is it that Yahweh is expecting of you? Well, you may say, nothing – because Jesus has done it all for us. Is this true? Why or why not?Beginning this episode in Deuteronomy 10:12-13, Rabbi Steve Berkson presents what it is that Yahweh is expecting of all who choose to walk in covenant with Him.Then going backward a couple of books Rabbi Berkson makes an in-depth dissertation of the Ten Commandments from Exodus chapter 20.From there, back again into Deuteronomy, in chapter 6 where we find the Shema and the Vahavta, as Rabbi Berkson expounds on the foundation of covenant living with our Creator.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.

Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it?The reason we exist is to become more like our big brother, Messiah Yeshua. Living our lives according to the two great commandments, love your Elohim and love each other.Continuing in 1 John chapter 3, Rabbi Berkson starts in verse 11 and gives the example of Cain and how he could not control his own emotions which ended up in murdering his own brother Abel. We who are “in Covenant” are expected to treat our fellows also in Covenant with much humility and love, with self-control which is a fruit of the Spirit. Those that do not love their brother does not have everlasting life in them.Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in this passage 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.

What kind of relationship do we have with the Creator? Does all of His creation have this kind of relationship? What is the requirement for this relationship to be valid?Rabbi Steve Berkson begins this teaching episode of the series, Love and Torah, by going to 1 John chapter 3 and embarking on a “Life-Coaching” discourse about relationships involving husbands and wives, parents and children, and how they can serve as examples for the relationship between humans and Elohim.Does it ever seem like your friends and family don’t understand you anymore since you’ve started your Torah-Observance walk? There’s a reason for that. Rabbi Berkson explains.This teaching series is packed full of vital information that will help you in your spiritual growth as you walk toward the Kingdom of Elohim, becoming the kind of person that He wants to live with forever.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Torah, or “the Law” – what’s love got to do with it? Rabbi Steve Berkson begins this teaching series with that song reference in order to make a point that he is determined to reveal how the giving of the Torah by our Creator and our guarding and obedience to it absolutely is connected to love. In the past, we’ve probably understood love in a certain way, but in this teaching Rabbi Berkson explores the different facets of love as spoken of in our scriptures.How does the English translation of the Bible do us a disservice in using the word ‘love’?How can we understand what is said in the New Testament?Going first to Matthew chapter 22, Rabbi Berkson show us how Yeshua brought out the two main relationships, us and the Creator and us with each other, and then connects the present to the past with the two great commands.Those who teach that the Law/Torah is done away with lack something that would allow them to carry out the two great commands – what is it?This teaching series will be packed full of vital information that will help you in your spiritual growth as you walk toward the Kingdom of Elohim, becoming the kind of person that He wants to live with forever.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

In Proverbs chapter 3 King Solomon is writing to his children to “bind his Torah around their neck.” What does it mean to bind something around your neck? How do you “write” something on your heart? It seems that Solomon is instructing us to do things, but hasn’t it “all been done for us”? What are the three things Torah does for us? Rabbi Steve Berkson begins this final episode of this series by expounding on what pursuing the Torah of Yahweh can do to bring peace into your life.Then moving into Jeremiah chapter 23 Rabbi Berkson ties it to Proverbs chapter 3 and on the responsibility of being a proper anointed/appointed teacher of the scriptures. How did the teachers of Jeremiah’s day scatter the people? For what were they being reprimanded and punished? Is there a Messianic reference in this chapter? How is Yahweh going to fix the problem of inadequate and problematic teachers? Moving on from Jeremiah to Luke chapter 8 we see the event where Yeshua, leaving His disciples in charge of getting them to the other side, took a nap. Then a great storm came upon them to where the disciples cried out, “Master, we are perishing!” Rabbi Berkson points out a great deal of insight from the telling of this event in the Gospel of Luke that can be applied to our life today.In Colossians chapter 3 Rabbi Berkson teaches “the Above”, the world that is Yahweh’s and “the Below”, the world that is not His, and gives good instruction in saying if you are of “the Above”, raised with Messiah Yeshua, then, you should diminish your passion for or any connection with “the Below”.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Dealing with the idea of “Waiting, Seeking, and Being strong”, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us to Isaiah chapter 51 in order to get a glimpse of what “His world” will look like. For one thing, “His world” is going to have in it those who “pursue righteousness”. (vs 1) For another thing, “His world” will be filled with the Light of His Torah. (vs 4) In order for us to make it into “His world” we must have an expectancy, a hope of all that Yah has promised to those who are His.Then moving into the Psalms Rabbi Berkson shows us the one verse that could solve all of our problems with fear and anxiety.From the Psalms we go to Jeremiah chapter 30 and learn a little about the two houses, Judah and Israel, and that the doctrine of Replacement Theology has no standing in scripture.Guard. Walk. Do. Sounds like covenant again, right? Rabbi Berkson takes us to Leviticus chapter 26 and shows us by the words of the Creator the promise of peace that will be in His world.Then on to the prophet Micah chapter 4 as Yahweh says His mountain will be above all mountains and His house will be there from where the Torah will go out to judge and teach all. In this section Rabbi Berkson has a very different thought on verse 5 that you have probably never heard before.Welcome to another life-changing teaching series from Rabbi Steve Berkson and MTOI.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

We all are born with our own desires and passions, but are they right and good for us? What about Yah’s desires and passions? Is it possible for our’s to meld with His?Continuing in Romans chapter 8, Rabbi Steve Berkson shows us more of what the apostle Paul wrote about the nature of man versus the nature of Elohim. What is the nature or character traits of Elohim? Rabbi Berkson quickly moves us to Galatians 5:22-23 to reveal the answer.In Galatians chapter 5 Rabbi Berkson points out the comparison of the fruit of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit of Elohim.

Does “all” always mean “all”? What is the default reaction to being afraid of something? What intimidates you?Beginning this teaching in Numbers/Bemidbar chapter 14, Rabbi Steve Berkson explains some of the aspects of human behavior when confronted with the unknown or the perception of something terrifying. This is the event of the leaders of Israel going in and spying out the promised land and then the slanderous report brought back by ten of those leaders.From there Rabbi Berkson goes to Romans chapter 8 to help us understand the meaning of the difference between the Spirit and flesh, and the law of sin and death. Without this understanding the chapter will be interpreted incorrectly.Welcome to another life-changing teaching series from Rabbi Steve Berkson and MTOI.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

In this teaching Rabbi Steve Berkson starts in Deuteronomy 20 to look at how being afraid and having peace do not go together. How do we today “do battle” with others? What’s the “fear factor” in those situations? When the situation feels overwhelming, what do you do? How does leadership fit into the picture?Then moving into Numbers chapters 13 and 14 Rabbi Berkson shows us how fear is contagious and that there was a failure of leadership when Israel went to spy out the promised land. Why did they have to “spy out” the land?Are you afraid of change? Rabbi Berkson gets into a bit of life-coaching about jobs or careers and how the fear of change can seep into your walking with Yah.From there, Rabbi Berkson moves into the issue of “evil speaking”, in the Hebrew “Lashon hara”, literally, “evil tongue”. He relates from the perspective of his organization MTOI and the things that people have said against him and MTOI. He shares some behind-the-scenes details of what others have said with the intention of influencing others in a negative way. Is there another ministry that would be this transparent?Welcome to another life-changing teaching series from Rabbi Steve Berkson and MTOI.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

What are you afraid of? Is being afraid wreaking havoc with your peace? As he takes us to Exodus 14:1-15, Rabbi Steve Berkson breaks down the story of the Israelites leaving Egypt defiantly, but when they come to the water’s edge they become afraid. The water is in front of them, mountains are on each side and Pharaoh with his army is behind them trapping them. Moses then says, “Do not be afraid.”What can you do when you feel overwhelmed by the things that life will throw at you? Rabbi Berkson breaks down Deuteronomy 7:17-23 to help you understand that your being overwhelmed is an opportunity to exercise your belief/emunah in Him and experience deliverance and peace.Then moving on from there, Rabbi Berkson takes us to Deuteronomy 18:13-22 where we see instruction being given to Israel for dealing with leadership, namely prophets. The first thing this passage instructs is to ‘have integrity’. Respect the anointed/appointed leadership that you have placed yourself under. But when someone presents themselves as a “prophet” and then shows that he/she is not a prophet, you are not to be afraid of them.Welcome to another life-changing teaching series from Rabbi Steve Berkson and MTOI.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Of what importance to you is the title that someone has? Do some claim authority on their own and title themselves? If it is your responsibility to find a teacher/mentor, how do you do that? What’s the process of vetting someone to be that to you?How does ‘worry’ relate to Yahweh’s vertical authority structure?What does it mean to “be sober and watch”?Wrapping up the topic of ‘worry’, Rabbi Steve Berkson reveals the answers to the above questions by taking us to 1 Peter chapter 5.The next enemy of peace is ‘doubt’ and Rabbi Berkson breaks down the event in Matthew 14:22 – Yeshua walking on the water. What happens to peace in a state of being ‘double-minded’?Then, going all the way back to the beginning, Rabbi Berkson has us look at Genesis chapter 3 where we see the event of Adam and Eve, the “snake” and the forbidden fruit and how that event thrust all of mankind into a “World Not His.”Welcome to another life-changing teaching series from Rabbi Steve Berkson and MTOI.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

What is the source of our peace? Messiah Yeshua said, “My peace I leave with you, not as the world gives I leave with you.” If He is the word (John 1:14) then it’s the Word of Elohim that brings peace to us. What can cause the Word to not take root in the soil of our lives and block the peace that it could bring?Starting this teaching in Matthew 13:18, Rabbi Steve Berkson breaks down Yeshua’s parable of the Sower and the Seed to show something about worry that may have slipped by many of us.From there Rabbi Berkson goes to Philippians 4:4-9, a well-known verse and a favorite of many, to elaborate on some encouragement from the apostle Paul to his students and assembly as he says, “Do not worry at all.” Then he gives a process for how that is possible.Welcome to another life-changing teaching series from Rabbi Steve Berkson and MTOI.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

“Our peace comes from our expectation of the future, our understanding of the past and our embracing of what He has given us today.” What could bring any more peace to our hearts and minds than knowing how all this is ultimately going to end? Not just end, but transition to a new beginning.Meanwhile, the prayer of Messiah Yeshua is that we are not taken out of the world, but that we are kept from the wicked. This life in this world is only a test and we need to go through the tests for a reason–to show if it is in our hearts to fear Him and keep His commandments, thus yielding the “peaceable fruit.”In this teaching Rabbi Steve Berkson wants to begin talking about the emotional challenges facing us, first up, Worry.How is Worry like a virus? What is a good way to avoid Worry? What benefit does Worry have?Taking us to Matthew 6:24-34, Rabbi Berkson goes verse-by-verse through the words of Yeshua as He was exhorting His audience at that time to stop worrying and place themselves under the reign of Elohim, observe His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to them.Welcome to another life-changing teaching series from Rabbi Steve Berkson and MTOI.Related Teachings can be found here:• The Fear of Yahweh https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX8t0FwtfuLzlCSJdSrRlzXU• What Are You Thinking? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_Uwhv4vgG84U04DZRDYO-q• Are You Saved? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX-XDS4JdFkY0WuOGluQm7_Y• The Search for the Doctrine of Grace https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX91R_Lz3jOfHHCxJV6XebkV• Endure and Receive the Crown of Life https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX8XUQYclJ4pJpVyjj9jIQ2x• INfocus: The Needs/Wants Disconnect https://youtu.be/UukKGzYO_IYDon't miss out on new teachings every week.
