In this 35th part of the series, The Heart of the Matter, Rabbi Steve Berkson moves us into the book of the Prophet Ezekiel to explore what YHWH had to say to His people, Israel, while they were in the Babylonian exile. In chapter 2 the prophet Ezekiel was told to speak "Thus says YHWH" to the people no matter who listened or who didn't listen and to not be rebellious as they were. Then, in chapter 3, Ezekiel was given a scroll to eat which was the Word of YHWH and it was as sweet as honey. Rabbi Steve expounds on how through the scriptures YHWH's Word is compared to the sweetness of honey. Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Throughout the Torah, the Prophets and in the writings of the Apostles a cry goes out from the heart of Elohim for unity among His people. Until the time when Messiah returns, the people who claim to carry the name of YHWH must endeavor to live in unity and peaceably with all of their brothers and sisters. They must not be divided but be knitted together in the same mind and Spirit. Rabbi Tom Mitchell brings this timely message to us so that we can understand what endeavoring for unity looks like.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Continuing in the Book of Jeremiah, chapter 11, we see a refresher on the original Covenant made between the Creator and those He selected, who entered into it without even hearing or understanding what the conditions of the contract were, but rather knowing with Whom they were entering it. All of this was to establish the oath which He had made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Genesis 26:4-5). We then move into chapter 13 where we see the illustrated analogy of the girdle that YHWH had Jeremiah to buy, wear, then expose to the elements so that it would become useless and unable to do what it was intended to do. Israel was to cling, cleave and hold fast to their Creator but did not. They were to support, have faith (emunah) in, their Elohim, but became rebellious and stubborn in their “evil heart”, rendering them, in the words of YHWH, a useless people. In chapter 14 we see how the people of Judea were listening to the ones who said they were speaking for YHWH, but were not, to the destruction and exile of both. There is a great danger of speaking for YHWH when He has not spoken.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Moving into the ninth and tenth chapters of the writings of the Prophet Jeremiah, Rabbi Steve Berkson helps us to stop to think “I wonder how our Creator feels” about us; how we think, talk and act. Could our Father say about us, “they have not know me” as He did through Jeremiah to the people of that time? Yet, YHWH still puts those people whose hearts are stubborn and rebellious through the process of refining in order to find the remnant of His People who will cling, cleave and hold fast to Him, those with whom He would want to live forever.We continue to see the term, “stubbornness of heart” over and over. Rabbi Steve points out that if we want to fix the problems with our “walk”, we must allow the Holy Spirit to search our hearts and find the stubbornness and then eliminate it. Only then will we get to the place where what we want is what the Father desires.In this lesson we will further improve our lexicon by learning the definitions of the words “forsaken”, “discern” and “syncretism.”At the end of this lesson Rabbi Steve cleverly describes the “Manufacturer’s Reset Button” and how this describes all of us who have chosen to walk in Torah observance through the Spirit of Yeshua Messiah.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Rabbi Steve Berkson begins the 30th part of the series “The Heart of the Matter” and the 3rd lesson from the book of the Prophet Jeremiah with a clarification regarding the “sacrificial system” and its relationship to the work of Messiah Yeshua. Many misunderstand this subject due to various erroneous teachings which can be a distraction from the real subject: being obedient is directly connected to living well in all areas of our lives. Then we get to the phrases in Jeremiah 7:24, “incline their ear” and “walked in the counsels” where we learn that it is our responsibility to seek right counsel from godly leaders through the leading of the Holy Spirit and not lean (incline) to our own understanding, in the stubbornness of our own heart, going backward and not forward. We will hear about the things happening in Jeremiah’s day and how the same seems to be today. Rabbi Steve tells us about the process of abomination starting with abhorrent, then to tolerated, then accepted and finally preferred. In the end those who choose to be right according to Torah are persecuted.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Continuing in the book of the Prophet Jeremiah, Rabbi Steve Berkson helps us to understand that this prophet has a "heavy" message in regards to the Heart of the Matter. He begins this teaching in chapter 5 of Jeremiah then connects to the Gospel of John chapter 15 in regards to us being compared to "branches" (Jer 5:10). Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

In part 8 of To He Who Overcomes, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues with the subject of ‘Overcoming Evil With Good’ by leading us to Philippians 2:5 and the significance of the 3-letter word, L-E-T; we should ‘let’ the mind of Yeshua be in us.Rabbi Berkson then begins a new subject, ‘Overcoming the Evil One (who wants to make us a liar), taking us to 1 John 2 where the beloved disciple tells it like it is by saying, “The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

In part 7 of To He Who Overcomes, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues with the subject of ‘Overcoming the World’ by leading us to a better understanding of the parable Yeshua taught about the Sower and the Seed found in Matthew chapter 13. Why are we taught in parables? What did Yeshua mean when He said in verse 9 “He who has ears to hear, let him hear”? Rabbi Berkson then begins a new subject, “Overcoming Evil With Good”, taking us to the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Roman assembly in chapter 12. Are we truly sacrificing our desires to gain the understanding of that “good, well-pleasing and perfect desire of Elohim”? Do we as the Body of Messiah realize that we all have different roles that should work together for the benefit of each other and ultimately for the Kingdom of Elohim? What teachers should we or should we not be listening to? In this teaching Rabbi Berkson gives a fabulous definition of the Hebrew word ‘emunah’ or faith/trust/belief.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Rabbi Steve Berkson concludes teaching us about overcoming “Beliefs, Behaviors, Attitudes and Lifestyles.” He begins with taking us to Luke 9:57-62 where we see several men coming to Yeshua expressing a desire to follow Him, but rather, Yeshua makes an example of them as to “those who look back are not fit for the Kingdom of Elohim.” We will hear the word ‘but’ used quite often as those men will give their reasons/excuses for delaying following Yeshua. Rabbi Steve brings us to understand that our “Big Brother is watching us” and watching over us, interceding for us as we walk the path of righteousness. We learn about the ‘Rule of Thirds’ as it applies to how we should seek counsel from those who are more experienced than we in our relationship with the Father and Son. Rabbi Steve teaches us the common way that people try to rationalize and justify what they want to do by pulling together a coalition of their peers. Then, Rabbi Steve moves into the subject of overcoming the world and takes us in scripture to 1 John 5:1-5 and the Epistle of James chapters 1 and 2. Rabbi Steve exhorts us to not let anybody “shake your tree” when comes to being Torah Observant as having belief/faith has to be coupled with being obedience; “faith without works is dead…”Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Rabbi Steve Berkson concludes the series “No Other Name” beginning in Deuteronomy 10 touching on the seriousness of “swearing by the name of YHWH” and whether we should or not, referencing Yeshua’s words in Matthew 5. Also, how the people who carry the name of YHWH have a purpose in this world, to bring honor to His name (identity, reputation) and to be a light to the nations. In Deuteronomy 28 Steve brings out how disobedience to the Torah is the same as bringing dishonor to the name of YHWH. Then ending this lesson with a rapid fire of scripture we get a clarification of the words “according to” found in Psalm 7:17 to actually mean “because of.” Finally concluding with Acts 4, where this teaching began, with a new, deeper understanding of “No Other Name.”Don't miss out on new teachings every week.
