Episode 1017: What Is the Good News? | Part 11

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• 1 Corinthians 1:17 – Immersion | What Messiah is• 1 Corinthians 1:17-19 – The wisdom of this world• Defining salvation• You still have to do• 1 Corinthians 1:18 – The power of Elohim is the Good News• 1 Corinthians 1:19-20 – Where is the wisdom of this world?(Isaiah 29:13-15)• Isaiah 29:17-19 – Light coming out from the darkness• 1 John 2:4-11 – Without Messiah, you’re in darkness• Isaiah 29:18-21 – Stop grumbling and accept instruction• 1 Corinthians 1:21-24 – But to those who are called• 1 Corinthians 1:27 – Elohim calls “dumb people”?• 1 Corinthians 1:28-31 – He who boasts(Jeremiah 9:23-24)• 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 – In the demonstration of the spirit and of power• 1 Corinthians 2:6-8 – Study the Bible?• Ephesians 4:11-14 – The Five-Fold Ministry• 1 Corinthians 2:7-3:1-2 – Making a case for anointed-appointed teachers• 1 Corinthians 3:4-6 – Hung up on the personality of the person• 1 Corinthians 3:7-8 – Rewards are earned• 1 Corinthians 3:9-15 – Works are revealed by fire• 1 Corinthians 3:16-19 – Stop thinking you’re so smart• 1 Corinthians 3:19-23 – There needs to be humility 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.
