Our congregation (in-person and online) is a diverse community of disciples, both Jews and those from many nations, tribes, and tongues (Revelation 7:9). 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 beauty of the Messianic Era in which King Messiah will reign.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T00:17:22.700943+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shalom-macon-messianic-jewish-teachings-909539"},"episode":{"title":"5 Minute Torah - Mattot-Massei - Why Paul Circumcised Timothy—but Not Titus","slug":"5-minute-torah-mattot-massei-why-paul-circumcised-timothy-but-not-titus","published_at":"2026-07-09T14:53:14+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shalom-macon-messianic-jewish-teachings-909539/5-minute-torah-mattot-massei-why-paul-circumcised-timothy-but-not-titus","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shalom-macon-messianic-jewish-teachings-909539","url":"https://shalom-macon.castos.com/episodes/5-minute-torah-mattot-massei-why-paul-circumcised-timothy-but-not-titus","audio_url":"https://episodes.castos.com/6501ac046a2ca7-89841118/2526562/c1e-r1j6wuor392ud73mj-mk983v5xu1wx-1mjgun.mp3","summary":"Why did Paul circumcise Timothy—but not Titus? What do tribal boundaries, inheritance laws, and the coming Messianic Kingdom have to do with that question? The surprising answer begins in the closing chapters of the book of Numbers. In this week's study of Parashat Mattot–Massei, we explore the biblical laws of inheritance, tribal identity, and the daughters of Zelophehad. Along the way, we'll discover why Paul's different treatment of Timothy and Titus wasn't a contradiction at all—it was rooted in principles established centuries earlier in the Torah. We'll also examine the distinction between Jewish identity and tribal identity, why Ezra confronted intermarriage after the exile, and how these often-overlooked laws reveal God's heart for preserving His covenant people and the inheritance He entrusted to them. Most importantly, we'll see that these commandments were never merely about property or legal technicalities. They remind us that the land belongs to HaShem, that His covenant promises remain steadfast, and that they point forward to the day when King Messiah will reign from Jerusalem and the Torah will once again go forth from Zion. How do these ancient inheritance laws shape the way we read Scripture today? And what do they teach us about God's unchanging purposes for Israel and the coming Kingdom? Join us as we uncover the remarkable connections hidden in Parashat Mattot–Massei.
