Episode 1009: What Is the Good News? | Part 8

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• Intro• Romans 1:1-6 – The good news which He promised before• Romans 1:7-10 – Paul greets the set-apart ones in Rome• Romans 1:11-15 – Encouraged by each other’s belief• Romans 1:16 – Paul was not ashamed of the Good News• Romans 1:17 – Righteousness is revealed in the Good News• Deuteronomy 6:17-18 – Delivered through belief-obedience • Deuteronomy 6:19-23 – He brought them out• Deuteronomy 6:24 – For our good always• Deuteronomy 6:25 – It shall be righteousness for you… • Why is the Christian sabbath for only an hour?• Romans 1:18 – Those who suppress the truth?• Romans 1:19 – These people should know better• Romans 1:19-21 – Understanding Romans 1:20 • John 1:11-12 – They have no excuse?• Romans 1:22-23 – They did from their own reasonings• Romans 1:24-25 – They changed the truth?• Deuteronomy 8:5 – Like a man disciplines his son?• Romans 1:26-27 – The times of Noah• Romans 1:28 – A worthless mind• Romans 1:28-31 – Covenant breakers?• Romans 1:31 – They should know!• Romans 1 from the Perspective of the Good News • ConclusionListen 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.
