Shalom Macon: Messianic Jewish Teachings

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.

5 Minute Torah - Vayelech-Nitzavim - Torah for the Nations

In the days of the Apostles, all the disciples of Yeshua were Jewish and trying to figure out what to do with the Gentiles who were coming to faith. Today, however, followers of Yeshua are predominantly Gentile—so much so that Gentile Christians don’t have a clue as to what to do with Jews who believe in Yeshua—especially those who hold on to the covenant God made with them at Sinai. It seems, the tables are turned a complete 180º from the situation in the days of the Apostles. However, there has been a resurgence of excitement over the Torah from Gentiles in recent years and we are faced with a similar dilemma that the Apostles faced in the first century. Where do Gentiles fit into this Jewish faith? We’ve discussed this issue some in the past, but now we’re going to hit it again from a different angle in this week’s 5 Minute Torah.

Part 10 — Repaving The Romans Road: Life in the Spirit

Romans 7 has played a pivotal role in shaping Christian theology throughout the centuries. Traditionally, it has been understood not only as an account of humanity's futile struggle to live according to God's law, but also as Paul's own story and his subsequent condemnation of his former life under the law. However, as we’ve done throughout this series, this week’s exploration of Romans 7 and 8 will offer a fresh perspective on this concept—one that may profoundly change how you understand Paul’s message moving forward.

5 Minute Torah - Ki Tavo - The Responsibility of Influence

In Matthew 15, Yeshua called some of the Pharisees of his day “blind guides.” He then followed it up by saying, “And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14). But what about you? Have you been a blind guide and led someone into a pit without even knowing it? Let’s take a look at this idea together in this week’s 5 Minute Torah.

Part 9 — Repaving The Romans Road: Not Under The Law

In Part 9 of the "Repaving Romans Road" series, we dive into Romans 5-6 to clarify one of  Paul's most well-known (and equally misunderstood) statements, "not under the law but under grace.” This teaching again explains the importance of understanding who Paul is talking to, why he’s saying what he says, and most importantly, what the practical application of that idea should like for his Roman audience. We’ll continue to see Paul emphasizing the importance of understanding the Law’s role in revealing sin, not offering salvation, and show that Paul never abandons the Torah’s value for all humanity.

Part 8 - Repaving the Romans Road: Our Father Abraham

In Part 8 of "Repaving Romans Road," we dive into Romans 4 and explore Paul’s continued focus on his audience in Rome, particularly how they can find entry into the family. There is still much talk of circumcision/conversion. But here Paul traces the story back to Abraham, the father of many, whose faith before circumcision opens a door for Gentile inclusion, and the opportunity to see themselves connected to the family of God through the promises made to Abraham. In this chapter, we see Paul continue to brilliantly illustrate to the nations how faith—not the flesh—unites Jews and Gentiles into God’s eternal family.

Part 7 — Repaving The Romans Road: Works of the Law

In Romans chapter 3, Paul continues his dialogue with a critical conversational partner, introducing the term ‘works of the law.’ But can we trust the traditional interpretation that Paul is condemning the Torah as legalistic works for salvation? Or is Paul addressing his Roman audience, teaching them what they need to understand about the law? Find out in this week’s message.

Are there still True Prophets today? Today, there are people all around the world who claim to be prophets of God. They display signs & wonders, miraculous healings or physical manifestations that defy human reasoning. They speak prophetic utterances that come to pass just as they were spoken.

Part 6 — Repaving The Romans Road: The So-Called Jew

The traditional interpretation of Romans suggests that in Chapter 2, Paul shifts his focus to the sinfulness of the Jewish people. However, when we consider the rhetorical structure and flow of the letter, a very different and significant intention emerges behind Paul's words. In this teaching, we’ll uncover the true identity of the so-called Jew and what Paul is really addressing.

5 Minute Torah - Eikev - The Making of a New Man

How does God judge all people equally or does He have different expectations for Israel versus the nations? By what criteria does He judge us and what standard does He hold us to? Are Gentiles obligated to the Torah the same as Jews? Paul talks about “One New Man,” but does that look like a Jew, a Gentile, or what—Frankenstein's Monster?
