Purim Service and Celebration

JWe had a great evening of fun, food, and festivities. We learned the story of how one scared lady saved her people.

We ate Hamentaschen, twirled a grogger, and dressed as our favorite character from the story of Esther.

 

 

Hanukkah Service, Potluck, & Celebration

We welcomed in the Sabbath, lit the menorah, celebrated the Feast of Dedication, played dreydel, ate gelt and latkes and jelly doughnuts and everything else in sight, and learned how this Holy Day relates to Yeshua (Jesus) the light of the world.

 

We had a wonderful Erev Shabbat and Semikhah (ordination) service

In December Messianic Rabbi (Dr.) Sam Nadler, President of Word of Messiah Ministries, and Leader of Hope of Israel Congregation in Charlotte, North Carolina presided over the Semikhah (ordination) of our Fellowship Leader, Dr. Michael Herts.

 

Our Fellowship's 2nd Bar Mitzvah, 2009

In November our Fellowship's second Bar Mitzvah was called to the Torah. He read the parashat from Torah and even gave the message. Mazel Tov Samuel!!!

 

We had a great time at our Sukkoth Service (The Feast of Tabernacles)

We discussed how the Word became Flesh and Tabernacled among us (John 1:14). We incorporated the Lulav and Etrog into our service, and had a wonderful fellowship meal.

 

We had a worshipful time at our Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Services

It is good to know in Messiah that our names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

 

Ted Pearce and Jobst Bittner were awesome

Galilee of the Nations recording artist Ted Pearce teamed up with German Pastor Jobst Bittner and led us in worshipping the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob. They brought a powerful message of reconciliation between Jew and Gentile.

Erev Shavuot Service, Party, and Potluck was great

We celebrated the day where Moses first came down Mt. Sinai with G-d's Commandments, where the Word of G-d was inscribed on stone tablets. On that same day hundreds of years later, we saw in the Brit Chadeshah (Newer Covenant) Acts Chapter 2, the Word of G-d was inscribed on the hearts of those who believe in Yeshua.

 

Passover 2009 was amazing

We had a wonderful evening of worship dance, going through the Passover Haggadah, great food and fellowship. We experienced how the Passover elements and ceremony speak of G-d's redemption. We discovered how the entire meal and service is an object lesson about how true redemption is found in Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah, the "Lamb of G-d who takes away the sin of the world."

It was our biggest celebration yet with 250 people sharing the experience.

About Us

B’nai Avraham Messianic Fellowship is a place where Jews and Gentiles can worship the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus), within a Jewish context. We proclaim that Am Yisrael Chai B’Yeshua HaMoshiach, “The people of Israel live in Jesus the Messiah.”

In Genesis 12:2-3, G-d promises that He would make Abraham a great nation and through Abraham all the nations of the earth would be blessed. This promise of G-d’s blessing includes not only his physical descendents, the Jewish people, but all the other people groups (i.e., gentiles). Today, most congregations that believe in Yeshua are predominantly gentile and the cultural context is, at times, not comfortable for Jewish believers who want to express their faith in the Messiah within a Jewish context.

Come join us! Celebrate the biblical Holy Days in a messianic frame of reference, and learn about scripture from a messianic perspective. This is a place where Jewish, Gentile, intermarried, or the curious, can feel welcomed, enjoy interesting people and learn more about G-d.

We are affiliated with the Association of Messianic Congregations and the Southern Baptist Messianic Fellowship.
