The Shabbat Teachings on Saturday, June 8th, were outstanding.  Some of the guest speakers who were scheduled to speak that day had to cancel their attendance, due to various reasons.  The L-rd sent us wonderful speakers in their place.

As soon as we can we will be posting some of the video of these teachings for all to see.  Some of the photographs of this event will be published on our SBMF Facebook Page Photo Gallery. Our Facebook page is located at:

SBMF Business Meeting News

Brother Randall Clark presented a tribute to our dear departed brother, Jerry Young.  Brother Jerry was one of the founding fathers of the SBMF.  There will be a news page published with the text of that document.

Brother Randall Clarke presented a motion to make a web page illustrating the specialties of each of the ministers and ministries affiliated with the SBMF.  This page will have contact information for each of our members who would like others to know how to contact them for presentations like Pesach Seders, Tabernacle Illustrations, Hebraic Roots Teachings, Feast Teachings, Hebraic Eschatology and Jewish Evangelism for the Local Church.  This page will illustrate to our web page visitors, who they can have come and teach a class or classes related to topics where our members specialize.

Brother Bruce Stokes is working with Brother Michael Hertz to prepare our 501(c)(3) to move to another state where it can be monitored better.  This involves meeting the requirements of that state for corporate structure and constitutional or by-laws requirements.

Shalom Y’all.   Greetings from the Southern Baptist Messianic Fellowship.

“The grace of the L-rd Jesus Christ, and the love of G-d, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.”    [2 Cor. 13:14   NASU]

I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh, who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises, whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, G-d blessed forever. Amen. [Romans 9:1-5]  

Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to G-d for them is for their salvation. [Romans 10:1]

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of G-d for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of G-d is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "But the righteous man shall live by faith."  [Romans 1:16-17]

Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.  [John 4:35]

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.  [Matthew 28:19-20]

And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.  [Mark 16:15]

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, And for Jerusalem's sake I will not keep quiet, Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, And her salvation like a torch that is burning. [Isaiah 62:1]

But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.  [2 Timothy 4:5]

The L-rd bless you, and watch over you; The L-rd make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you;  The L-rd lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.   [Numbers 6:24-26]

Shalom Alechem
