In his thought-provoking lecture titled “Have We Left the Church?” Caleb Hegg delves into the intricate dynamics between the emerging Torah movement and the established evangelical Church. With a keen eye on the evolving landscape of faith, Hegg takes center stage to scrutinize whether the burgeoning Torah movement is an isolated entity or merely an extension of the evangelical Church. Through his insightful analysis, he engages with the complex questions surrounding the Messianic and Hebrew Roots movement’s desire to distinguish themselves from the modern Christian Church.

Hegg’s lecture is structured around six pivotal questions that often dominate discussions within the Torah movement. Through a meticulous exploration of each question, he unveils layers of understanding and sheds light on the complex interplay between these two facets of faith. These questions serve as guideposts along the journey to discern the true nature of the relationship between the Torah movement and the evangelical Church:

1. What is the “Church?”: Hegg initiates his discourse by delving into the fundamental concept of the Church, unearthing its historical, theological, and sociocultural dimensions. He navigates the origins and evolutions of the Church, laying the foundation for subsequent inquiries.

2. Are Christians saved?: Addressing a cornerstone of Christian belief, Hegg tackles the salvation question head-on. He dissects the theological implications of salvation and how they align or diverge within the Torah movement and the Evangelical Church.

3. If Christians are saved, shouldn’t the fruit of their faith be keeping Torah?: Hegg investigates the intricate realm of faith’s manifestation, probing whether the adherence to Torah principles should inherently accompany a Christian’s salvation. He delves into the implications of this assertion for both movements.

4. If God has sustained the Church for this long, doesn’t that mean the Torah doesn’t matter?: Drawing from a historical perspective, Hegg navigates the continuity of the Church over centuries and questions its implications on the relevance of Torah teachings. He peels back layers of tradition to uncover the underlying dynamics.

5. If my friends are saved, why should I be different and keep the Torah?: Hegg examines the motivations behind embracing the Torah lifestyle. He unravels the rationale behind choosing a distinct path while being part of a broader faith community.

6. Have we as Torah keepers left the Church? Culminating his lecture, Hegg circles back to the central theme, asking whether the Torah movement has, in essence, distanced itself from the evangelical Church. He offers insights into the complexities of forging one’s spiritual identity within the broader context of faith.

Caleb Hegg’s lecture is a harmonious blend of scholarly analysis, spiritual reflection, and practical wisdom. Attendees will be challenged to reconsider their understanding of the relationship between the Torah movement and the evangelical Church, ultimately fostering a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of faith expressions in the modern world. Whether one is a scholar, theologian, or simply a seeker of truth, this lecture offers an enriching exploration of the ever-evolving landscape of spirituality and belief.
