Episode 875: Afterburn | The Roles of Men & Women | Part 3

These days, some cannot define the meaning of ‘woman,’ men think they are women, or women decide they are men. Society uses terms such as toxic masculinity, macho, chauvinist, misogynist, and sexist to describe men. Because of this, the roles of men and women, as Elohim intended, are all but lost to the depravity of the human condition.Addressing a topic not talked about robustly in Scripture, Rabbi Steve Berkson embarks on resetting our understanding of what men should be and do and what women should be and do. He begins at the Beginning when the creation of Mankind commenced.Rabbi Berkson adds a twist to this teaching by connecting the account in Genesis, the Garden of Eden, with Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.Before this teaching series is complete, Rabbi Berkson will have traversed the entirety of Scripture so that you are confident that the message is sound and founded on the Word of Elohim.• 1 Peter 3:1-7 • Wives, it’s your behavior• Three Choices (What do you want?)• The most beautiful things women can wear (1 Peter 3:4)• Your blameless behavior (1 Peter 3:5-6)• Men, show kindness, understanding, and give respect (1 Peter 3:7)• Colossians 3:17-19 – Husbands, be loving and not bitter• Colossians 3:23 – Whatever you do… Listen to the Afterburn tomorrow.Take advantage of new teachings every week.

Episode 867: Afterburn | The Roles of Men & Women | Part 1

These days, some cannot define the meaning of ‘woman,’ men think they are women, or women decide they are men. Society uses terms such as toxic masculinity, macho, chauvinist, misogynist, and sexist to describe men. Because of this, the roles of men and women, as Elohim intended, are all but lost to the depravity of the human condition.Addressing a topic not talked about robustly in Scripture, Rabbi Steve Berkson embarks on resetting our understanding of what men should be and do and what women should be and do. He begins at the Beginning when the creation of Mankind commenced.Rabbi Berkson adds a twist to this teaching by connecting the account in Genesis, the Garden of Eden, with Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.Before this teaching series is complete, Rabbi Berkson will have traversed the entirety of Scripture so that you are confident that the message is sound and founded on the Word of Elohim.• Genesis 1:26-27 – Created in the image of Elohim• Genesis 1:28-31 – Man was given authority to represent Elohim on earth• Genesis 2:7-8 – Elohim breathed life into man• Ephesians 2:1-3 – After Eden…• Ephesians 2:4-7 – Elohim again gave life to men through Messiah• Ephesians 2:8-10 – Elohim believes you can do it• Ephesians 2:11-12 – Without Messiah fully…• Ephesians 2:13 – Back to Eden• Messiah is our peace and makes us one• Ephesians 2:16 – Destroying the enmity between husband and wife• Ephesians 2:17-22 – Built together into a set-apart tabernacle (1 Cor 12)Take advantage of new teachings every week.

What is Worship? - Part 2

Honor

There are others who teach this subject from a historical perspective, but what does the concept of honor and shame mean to you today? When you interact with others, do you even think about what is honorable or shameful? How can you apply honor and shame when in this Western Culture morality has taken such a beating.

Forgiveness, Resolution, Reconciliation & Restoration - Part 1

Rabbi Steve Berkson moves us into chapter 2 of the letter that the Apostle Paul wrote to the faithful in Rome (Romans 2). In part 47 of The Heart of the Matter Rabbi Steve hopes to give clarity to these passages that are typically taken out of context and misunderstood. The theme in Romans chapter 2 that we will see is ‘righteousness verses unrighteousness’ and how we are judged as being one or the other. We will also see the terms ‘circumcision’ and ‘uncircumcision’ and how they could be interpreted as those who are born into the covenant through the bloodline (Jews) and those who choose to enter into covenant but are not of the bloodline (Greeks, or everyone else).We will see that the Apostle Paul actually taught ‘Torah Observance’ (Rom 2:13) and how the heart being filled with faith and love for the Creator seeks to please Him by doing the “good works” – faith-based works.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Afterburn: Thoughts, Q&A on Darkness & Light - Part 10

As he begins the text for this teaching in 1 John 1:1, Rabbi Steve Berkson points out that the apostle John confirms all the scriptures that refer to Messiah Yeshua as the Word, and from the mouth of Yeshua as He refers to Himself as the Life, when he says he has looked upon and handled the Word of Life–he was there as the Messiah walked on this earth.As Rabbi Berkson points out, the apostle John emphasizes in the first part of his letter the vertical and horizontal relationships–with our Father and with each other. Note also how much he uses the light and darkness references–walking in the light means guarding His commands, or doing the truth.• What did Rabbi Steve mean when he talked about how Yeshua “took the bullet for us.”• How do we know that we know Him? (1 John 2:3)• Who was the “perfect disciple”? Hint: it wasn’t one of the twelve.• What is it that demonstrates our being one with Yeshua and the Father?• Can one say something that is a lie, but not be a liar?Once again, at the end of this series, Rabbi Steve Berkson delves deeper into scripture to uncover even more dimensions of Darkness and Light.Related Teachings can be found here:• Are You Covenanted? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_OEhd7K84LBs_jp6579C6U• Repentance https://youtu.be/SFXaoqjCjO4• The Heart of the Matter https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_O_DuSxpxaOIPKqKENGP0s• Do You Know the Father and the Son? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX85eE0WcFyzM6xquyz7r_RC• Honor &amp; Shame https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX-lexk1G6zrYxLqCMZv4Wzf• Understanding the Ruach/Spirit https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX_0Mi7M6VeNIqg8eu1f_QBm• INfocus: The Delusion Bubble https://youtu.be/cEgeS8NIBtM• The Millennium &amp; the Kingdom https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX9UNbkpvbCaWQXijbyGCLVK• The Armor of Elohim https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9HOA0P9oX8dWvXnu5lScQDt1YW2soUBDon't miss out on new teachings every week.

Covenant Community 101: Unity & Division in the Body of Messiah - Part 1

Now that you’ve learned about the relationship between salvation, faith and works, and that “saved” is not a status in the “Are You Saved” series, it makes sense to learn about the one thing that could be considered a status worth bearing–being “in covenant” or “covenanted”.In this series Rabbi Steve Berkson begins to define “covenant” as seen throughout scripture; covenants between persons and covenants between Elohim and mankind. Sometimes Yahweh makes a covenant with himself. Other times in scripture we see Yahweh making a covenant with His creation.When was the first covenant established?What’s the difference between a promise and a covenant?How is being covenanted going to affect your life? Do you understand what you’re getting into?Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlCC101: Discovering Your IdentityIf You Diligently ObeyThe Heart of the MatterCC101: What Are You Thinking?Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

The Millennium & The Kingdom - Part 1

Do You Know the Father and the Son - Part 7, My Sheep Know My Voice - Part 2

Do you know and understand Shabbat (Sabbath)? Does Shabbat really apply to the people of today? Is Shabbat just “that Jewish thing?” When the word ‘forever’ or ‘perpetual’ is attached to Shabbat, does it really mean to the end of time and beyond? Rabbi Steve Berkson wants to start this multi-part teaching about this most critical observance by helping you find your motivation for keeping the Shabbat. Without the proper understanding of why, just knowing the mechanics really won’t take you very far.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlCC101: Discovering Your IdentityInfocus - The Law of First MentionCC101: The Appointed Times of Yahweh Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

The Heart of the Matter - Part 36 - Ezekiel

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.

Keeping Faith with Rabbi Tom Mitchell

As Rabbi Steve Berkson concludes the letter to the Ephesians we understand that we are no longer considered Gentiles, outside of the camp, but through Messiah Yeshua have been brought together with the community of the chosen, fellow citizens, along with the covenants and promises. With that, we are to walk in obedience to Torah, imitating Elohim (5:1). What does it mean to be “subject to each other”? (vs 21) Why did the apostle Paul start talking about husbands and wives, children and parents, servants and masters? Is there more to understanding chapters 5 and 6 than what you have been taught previously? What does “do not provoke your children” mean? (6:4) What is the “Critical Transition”?Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

The Heart of the Matter - Part 56 - Ephesians

What does the Creator actually have to say in His Word about our “Identity Issues”? Are we “Gentile Believers” or something else? Who and what is Israel and what does it have to do with our identity? What was the purpose of Yeshua’s ministry? What is the “Good News” or “Gospel”? What is the “Two House” teaching? Does it even matter? Why was Yeshua talking about “Lost Sheep”? Who are these “Lost Sheep”? Does it have anything to do with us?Rabbi Steve Berkson leads us through the “Greatest Jig-saw Puzzle” in the world, the scriptures, to show us the answers to these questions and much more.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.
