Episode 1013: What Is the Good News? | Part 10

The English noun gospel comes from the Anglo-Saxon term godspell, meaning "glad tidings." It is translated from the Greek evangelion, which means "good message." Originally, the word was related to news of military triumph. –https://www.gotquestions.org/gospel-good-news.htmlWhile mainstream Christianity has a relatively narrow definition or view of the Good News, e.g., limited to the New Testament and only relating to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a broader, more scriptural perspective exists that is less taught, if taught at all.Didn't the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and others preach good news? What was their good news about?If the Good News is only about the death, burial, and resurrection of Messiah Yeshua, why did He teach and preach about it? What did He say is the Good News?Is the Good News about the Messiah, or is it of the Messiah?As is his usual practice, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings a more profound understanding to this topic by allowing scripture to define itself just as he has done in his other teachings.• Opener• Romans 15:16, 19-20 – Where is the love?• Romans 15:1-3 – We should support one another• Romans 15:4 – The intention is the expectation  (Ephesians 4:11)• Romans 15:5 – We should be of the same mind• Romans 15:8 – Messiah Yeshua confirmed the promises made • Romans 15:12 – The Root of Jesse (Isaiah 11:1)• Romans 15:13-16 – A priestly duty?• Romans 15:17-18 – To make the Gentiles obedient• You have to be called• Romans 16:17-18 – Stay away from those causing dissension• Romans 16:19 – Be wise toward the good• Romans 16:25 – The secret?• Romans 16:26 – The secret revealed for belief obedience• 1 Corinthians 1:17 – So that the stake of Messiah should not be nullified • 1 Corinthians 1:1-7 – The gift of the calling• 1 Corinthians 1:8 – Confirmed till the end, unreprovable • 1 Corinthians 1:10 – In the same mind and same opinion • Called to correct the teachers?• An authority structure stops the noise• 1 Corinthians 1:12 – It’s all one thing• 1 Corinthians 1:18 – The Good News is the power of ElohimListen 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.
