Press on, make progress, don’t look back. These are common themes in the teaching at Shalom Macon. But there is a time to look back and do some serious soul searching. That time is starting very soon, as we begin our journey through Elul and enter the fall festivals, the High Holidays. It starts with seeing the path, so let’s get started!

The Repentance Road, Part 1: Seeing The Path

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.

Many of us are prone to confirmation bias in our Bible study—reading a text we've encountered hundreds of times, believing we know exactly what it means, despite the context, and thereby confirming our interpretation. The problem is that often those interpretations are just plain wrong, or at least misguided or lacking. Many of Yeshua’s words and teachings are susceptible to confirmation bias, based on the long history of Christian interpretation. This week, we look at one of them and consider the background, context, and interpretations, all with the hope of being exceptional Yeshua followers!

Enter The Narrow Gate

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.
