This week's parsha witnesses Israel moving past the golden calf incident and beginning anew the work on the Tabernacle. However, before the work commences, we encounter a brief reminder from HaShem to the people about the Sabbath. The traditional explanation for its placement here is compelling, but in this message, Rabbi Damian explores a deeper meaning behind the inclusion of these verses and explains just how powerful they may have been to the children of Israel.

The Eternal Gift of the Sabbath | Parashat Vayakhel

Shalom Macon is a growing and vibrant Messianic Jewish congregation in Macon, Georgia, serving all of the Middle Georgia area. Our congregation is a diverse community, comprised of families from many nations, tribes, and tongues (Revelation 7:9). Therefore, obviously, many are not from a Jewish background. And while we are a Jewish synagogue, committed to the Jewish traditions, teachings, and lifestyle exemplified by our ancestors, our vision is to practice an inclusive Messianic Judaism for All Nations; a restoration of the faith of the earliest communities of Yeshua-followers; a window into the Judaism of the Messianic Era in which King Messiah will reign.

The world is undeniably beautiful, with humanity contributing to this beauty through architecture, art, cuisine, and music for millennia. Each of us possesses a God-given spark of creativity to enhance this beauty. As disciples, we are called to create a unique kind of beauty in this life. Unfortunately, many have fallen short. While generations have crafted external, physical beauty in so many forms, they have often missed the mark on the most important beauty we can create as we live in the image of our Creator. There is a way to achieve both and Rabbi Damian will tell us how.

The Contradiction of Religion

We've all given and received bad advice. It can be an honest mistake. But what if it's the kind that really does some damage? Does the Torah say anything about giving bad advice? Let's explore this idea together in this week's 5 Minute Torah.

5 Minute Torah - Behar - Bad Advice

If we have been made alive through Messiah, then the “Old Man” should be dead & gone. But it seems he’s always lurking in the shadows and trying to rear his ugly head. How do we keep him in check and live as a new creation through Yeshua? If you're struggling, then his series is for you.

Killing My Old Man, Part 3 - The New Me

We live in a world that has all but forgotten holiness. Although the world says it celebrates diversity, it only means diversity that is in opposition to godliness. Rather than making ourselves distinct through holiness, we strive to blend in through taking the path of least resistance. Let’s take a look at this concept together in this week's 5 Minute Torah.

5 Minute Torah - Emor - How to NOT Be Holy

Do you call yourself a disciple of Yeshua? If so, have you forsaken all and died to yourself in the waters of the mikveh order to follow him? Or is your Old Man still in control of your life like a second personality constantly trying to emerge? Yeshua says we can’t serve two masters. It’s time for one of them to die.
