Episode 1037: What Is the Good News? | Part 18

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• Review• Ephesians 4:1 – We are called to walk worthily?• Ephesians 4:2 – Who is Yahweh looking for?• Ephesians 4:3 – Can we agree to disagree?• Ephesians 4:7 – We all have been given something• Ephesians 4:8 – Yeshua went into the lower parts of the earth?• Ephesians 4:11 – The Five-Fold Ministry• Ephesians 4:12 – Understand the role you’ve been given• Ephesians 4:13 – They still exist, until…• Ephesians 4:14 – No longer be confused by various teachings?• The trickery of men?• Messiah’s definition of unity?• Are you in a cult?• Ephesians 4:15 – The maturity dilemma?• Ephesians 4:16 – A disabled Body of Messiah?• You were called to grow up• Ephesians 4:17 – Futility of mind and hardness of heart• Ephesians 4:19 – Calloused? • Ephesians 4:20 – You have not so learned Messiah?• Ephesians 4:22 – A renewed mind?• Ephesians 4:23 – Things that pertain to maturity• Ephesians 4:29 – Corrupt communication?• Ephesians 4:30 – Sealed for redemption?• Ephesians 4:31 – Direction for maturityListen 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.
