In the original languages of Hebrew and Greek, the meaning of the word ‘repentance' is fundamentally the same: to turn around, or to turn back. Being a vital element of a relationship with the Creator, Elohim grants the gift of repentance to those He chooses. Within that gift of repentance is a sense of remorse and regret. When repentance is from a sincere heart, the relationship is restored.Rabbi Steve Berkson teaches the deep and sometimes hidden meaning of repentance and all it involves.• Opener• Review• Ephesians 2:1-3 – Seeing yourself correctly• Ephesians 2:4-7 – Alive together with Messiah• Ephesians 2:8-9 – Saved through no effort of your own• Ephesians 2:10 – We were created to do good works• Ephesians 2:11-12 – We were Gentiles, without Messiah• These have nothing to do with Messiah?• Those who are still dead in trespasses • Ephesians 2:13 – We've been brought near by the blood of Messiah • Ephesians 2:14-16 – Both groups are now made one • The Torah's the enemy?• Ephesians 2:17 – Messiah came to make peace • Ephesians 2:18-22 – We are now fellow citizens with the set-apart ones • Matthew 3:3 – This is the path back • Matthew 3:7-8 – Fruits worthy of repentance? • Matthew 3:11-12 – Baptized with the Spirit and Fire?

In Proverbs chapter 3, King Solomon writes 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 take action, 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 the series by expounding on how pursuing the Torah of Yahweh can bring peace into your life. Then, moving into Jeremiah chapter 23, Rabbi Berkson ties it to Proverbs chapter 3 and discusses 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, causing the disciples to cry 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 about “the Above,” the world that is Yahweh's, and “the Below,” the world that is not His. He provides clear instruction, stating that if you are of “the Above,” raised with Messiah Yeshua, then you should diminish your passion for or any connection with “the Below.” Subscribe to take advantage of new content every week.

Dealing with the idea of “Waiting, Seeking, and Being strong,” Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us to Isaiah chapter 51 to provide a glimpse of what “His world” will look like. For one thing, “His world” will include those who “pursue righteousness” (vs 1). For another, “His world” will be filled with the Light of His Torah (vs 4). To enter “His world,” we must have expectancy—a hope for 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 our fear and anxiety problems. From the Psalms, we move to Jeremiah, chapter 30, where we 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 the promise of peace in His world through the words of the Creator. 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.

We are all 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 ours 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 are the 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 between the fruit of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit of Elohim. How does this fruit of Elohim show itself in our lives? What is the consequence of it not appearing in our lives? In James chapter 3, Rabbi Berkson helps us understand how the tongue can either steal peace or bring peace.

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 spying on 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.

In this teaching, Rabbi Steve Berkson begins in Deuteronomy 20 to examine how fear and peace cannot coexist. How do we today “do battle” with others? What's the “fear factor” in those situations? When a situation feels overwhelming, what do you do? How does leadership fit into the picture? Then, moving into Numbers chapters 13 and 14, Rabbi Berkson demonstrates how fear is contagious and highlights the failure of leadership when Israel went to spy out the promised land. Why did they have to “spy out” the land? Rabbi Berkson also offers some life coaching regarding jobs or careers and discusses how the fear of change can seep into one's walk with Yah. From there, Rabbi Berkson addresses the issue of “evil speaking, " in Hebrew “Lashon hara, " literally, “evil tongue. " He shares from the perspective of his organization MTOI, detailing the criticisms aimed at him and MTOI. He provides some behind-the-scenes insights about what others have said with the intention of negatively influencing others. Is there another ministry that would be this transparent?

What are you afraid of? Is fear wreaking havoc on your peace? As he takes us to Exodus 14:1-15, Rabbi Steve Berkson breaks down the story of the Israelites leaving Egypt defiantly. However, when they reach the water's edge, they become frightened. The water is before them, mountains flank them on either side and Pharaoh, with his army, traps them behind. Moses then reassures them, saying, “Do not be afraid.” What can you do when you feel overwhelmed by life's challenges? Rabbi Berkson analyzes Deuteronomy 7:17-23 to explain that feeling overwhelmed is an opportunity to exercise your belief/emunah in Him and experience deliverance and peace. Next, Rabbi Berkson takes us to Deuteronomy 18:13-22, where instructions are given to Israel regarding leadership, specifically prophets. The first instruction in this passage is to ‘have integrity'. Respect the anointed/appointed leadership you have chosen to follow. However, when someone claims to be a “prophet” but fails to demonstrate genuine prophecy, you should not fear them.

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 not to 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.

“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.

Can peace and joy spring forth from tragedy? In his opening comments Rabbi Steve Berkson describes how Passover which coincides with the death, burial and resurrection of Yeshua Messiah that, although tragic at the time, provide a memorial for us today that can allow for peace and joy to enter into our lives. This teaching covers John 16 & 17 as Yeshua Messiah is giving final instructions and then prays for His disciples. Instructing them as to what is going to happen to them and through them as they become His apostles and praying the Father to keep them and make them one as they are in the world but not of the world. What are the two things that cause others to come against you as you walk out Torah? In what way are you a threat to them? Who is an “Instrument of Elohim”? How is this title abused by many? How is one set-apart? What are the steps to being set free and set apart? Welcome to another life-changing teaching series from Rabbi Steve Berkson and MTOI.

In John 15:1 Yeshua is talking to his disciples, saying, “I am the true vine…” If He is the “true vine," what would He be warning His disciples of? What is one expected to produce if one is a part of the true vine? What happens to one if one doesn't produce what is expected? Who is the “gardener”? What is pruning, as applied to growing plants? How is it applied to humans in a spiritual sense? Do we need to understand the concept of clean and unclean today? (John 15:3) Why would someone tell another to stay unless the other could leave? (John 15:4) How is love for Yeshua and the Father connected to obedience? Did the Son's teaching do away with the Father's instruction? What does it look like to be anointed and appointed? How does the Father look at the way you treat His leadership? Welcome to another life-changing teaching series from Rabbi Steve Berkson and MTOI.

If you walk out Torah on some level but still feel afraid, panicked, or anxious, and if you worry or experience depression (not clinically), something is missing in your walk… what could it be? Rabbi Steve Berkson highlights how, throughout our Bible, we are encouraged to find peace. But how? Why do some of us struggle to find peace? In John 14:27, Yeshua makes an encouraging statement where He says, “My peace I give you…” and “I do not give as the world gives.” How does He offer His peace, and how do we receive it? What does it mean to “stay in Me”? The phrases “peace from Elohim,” “peace from the Father,” or “peace in Messiah Yeshua” appear nineteen times in the Brit Hadasha. Rabbi Berkson addresses how we obtain it, what prevents us from having it, what disturbs it, and how we might lose our peace. Additionally, in this first part, Rabbi Berkson does something he has never done in his previous teachings. Welcome to another life-changing teaching series from Rabbi Steve Berkson and MTOI.

“What has been resolved has to be released.” In this the final episode of Forgiveness, Resolution, Reconciliation & Restoration, Rabbi Steve Berkson gives a more detailed review of everything that's been taught up to this point. He then moves into consequences incurred and consequences removed. What's the beauty of our relationship with our Creator? Rabbi Berkson takes us to 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 to find out. There we find the very well-known verse that starts with, “If my people who are called by my name…” In this passage we see all the processes of forgiveness, resolution, reconciliation and restoration. Does forgiveness necessarily remove consequences? What is it that the Creator is wanting from us as He forgives us? Who does he do all this for? Why should you be Torah-Observant? Because the path, the instructions for coming into right relationship with your Creator was given to Moshe (Moses), as the psalmist King David wrote in Psalm 103. If you have the proper fear or respect of Yah and His awesomeness, you will be given the desire to want a right relationship, aka, The Covenant, with Him. (see Deuteronomy 10:12-13) What does it mean to “pass over the transgression”? What is the Father's approach to forgiveness that we should have? (Micah 7:18) In Jeremiah 31:31, with whom is the “new covenant” made? Has He rejected one group to accept another group? Has this prophecy already happened? When you accept and act on the forgiveness provided you through what Messiah Yeshua did, does this absolve you of sin past, present and future? Why? Why not? Finishing this teaching in the letter to the Colossians, Rabbi Berkson points out words such as expectation, worthy, fit… what do these crucial words have to do with the reward promised to us? Along with those words there are other words such as fruitful, empowered, delivered, redemption. Don't miss this final episode of this series that will forever change your life.
