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• Isaiah 55:6-7 – Seek Yahweh while he is to be found• Do you know who you’re looking for?• Call upon him when he is near• Let the wrong forsake his way• Return to Yahweh• Isaiah 55:8-9 – My thoughts are not your thoughts…• Isaiah 55:10-11 – His word does not return empty• Isaiah 55:12-13 – There’s reward in obedience • Lamentations 3:40 – Examine yourself • Ezekiel 18:30-32 – Judged according to each man’s ways • Ezekiel 18:1-20 – Each person is responsible for what he/she does • What to do with Messiah Yesha? • Ezekiel 18:21-23 – If one turns, he shall live and not die • Ezekiel 18:24 – There’s only now • Ezekiel 18:25-29 – The way of Yahweh is not right?• Ezekiel 18:30-31 – How do you make a new heart and spirit? • Transforming into the Above • Prayer Listen to the Afterburn tomorrowSubscribe to take advantage of new content every week.To learn more about MTOI, visit our website, https://mtoi.org.https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwidehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mtoi_worldwide You can contact MTOI by emailing us at [email protected] or calling 423-250-3020. Join us for Shabbat Services and Torah Study LIVE, streamed on our website, mtoi.org, YouTube, and Rumble every Saturday at 1:15 p.m. and every Friday for Torah Study Live Stream at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time.
