Messianic Torah Observant Israel

Using the Exodus story as a powerful metaphor, Rabbi Steve Berkson beautifully guides us through the journey from slavery to freedom. This message encourages us to believe in the possibility of change and deliverance, inspired by the Israelites’ escape from Egypt. It reminds us that real deliverance involves personal growth, not just external help. 

Continuing to explore Yahweh's role in our path to freedom, Rabbi Steve Berkson references Romans 8 and James 1 to highlight that Paul was contrasting the fleshly mind (human nature) with the mind of the Spirit of Elohim.

Using the Exodus story as a powerful metaphor, Rabbi Steve Berkson beautifully guides us through the journey from slavery to freedom. This message encourages us to believe in the possibility of change and deliverance, inspired by the Israelites’ escape from Egypt. It reminds us that real deliverance involves personal growth, not just external help. 

From Romans chapters 6 and 7, Rabbi Berkson expounds on the internal struggle between the law of the flesh and the law of the mind, emphasizing the importance of winning the battle of the mind for true freedom. Using analogies and biblical references, he illustrates this struggle and highlights the need for us to actively choose to follow the law of righteousness rather than the law of sin.
