Listen "Episode 997: What Is the Good News? | Part 4"
Episode Synopsis
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.• Review• Acts 8:1 – You may think you’re right• Acts 8:4 – The good news: The Word!• Acts 6:7 – The good news spread• Acts 6:9 – Steven the martyr taught Torah• Acts 7:1 – Why did Steven give the history of Israel?• Acts 7:52 – Steve drops the mic on the Jewish leadership• Acts 7:55 – The leadership responds • A free ride into the forever?• Show trust by taking action• He fell asleep?• Acts 8:5 – The Apostles, Simon the magician, and the good news• Acts 8:26 – Phillip, the Ethiopian eunuch, and the good newsListen 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.
