Koinonia

This weekend those of us who could gather at Hebron enjoyed each others company, the fabulous weather and the satisfaction of ticking a few chores off the list.  We had a great discussion time around the koinonia that Paul spoke about, our Torah journey, the blessings of Yehovah and the privilege and challenges of community. 



 We also welcomed our newest addition to Hebron, the new ram to keep our flock company.  He's a young 11 months old but eager to enter his new role.


The new farm ute was put through its paces today and I'm sure it will continue to prove its worth.  (John and Trevor showing it off) A great buy and the hydraulic workshop is a real bonus.


We also kitted out the living room and dining area with donations from Christine's workplace - what a difference it's made.  (Cousins Yohanan, Yakira and Bonnie enjoying a colouring-in session)


The site of many future fellowship meals.


We also planted willows and natives at the top dam site and a wind break further down the middle paddock.


It's very hard to get a decent shot of the flock with my little 'point and shoot' but trust me, they're all content and very healthy.  Gulliver the alpaca did not give our new ram a red carpet welcome but they've managed to work out the pecking order. 


This isn't the greatest shot but if you look closely you'll see a couple of our resident kangaroos under the red gum trees.  This really is a beautiful spot and I don't blame them hanging out there. 

It's always such a great time of fellowship on these weekends and everyone is missed who aren't able to be there.  Hebron is such a beautiful place so whenever you find yourself wishing for a few hours of quiet and peace, take advantage of your own piece of the promised land.  Everyone has their own favourite spot, whether it be on top of the windy hill and taking in the majestic view, under the red gum stand or sitting next to the dam listening to the frogs.

Shalom in Yeshua our Messiah ...

Where Your Treasure Is.....

Life has changed for our community and we are now split between two geographic locations - Salem and Mildura - with a few of us coming and going between them.   When the scripture says we are an 'unusual people', that certainly has an added layer for our community!      We are full of anticipation of what YHVH will pour out for the people of Australia, particularly the towns along the Murray River and Victoria.     But coming home to Hebron is always so good for the soul. Open skies - Open spaces   So lovely to see water in the top dam, grass emerging and  paddocks been sown for this year's hay crop.     I have been reflecting more on the truth and freedom of Yeshua's command:   Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth,  where moth and rust destroy,  and where thieves break in and steal.   But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,  where neither moth nor rust destroys,  and whe...

2025 Moedim - Appointed Times

Here in Australia it's spring but in the northern hemisphere the feasts at this time of year are known as the 'fall feasts' - Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.   Yom Teruah Teaching It's new moon, Yom Teruah and we are anticipating Yom Kippur and the joy of Sukkot.  It's time for shouting, rejoicing, repenting and preparation - all in expectation to meet our King, our Messiah!  We put up banners, decorate our sukkah, fill the fridges and light the fires.   We will rejoice, we will enjoy each other's company but most of all, we know we will bless our Father with our obedience and He in turn will bless us. See you there! 

Sukkot 2025

When the sun set on the 8th day of Sukkot there was much to be grateful for.  It was a week of joy and laughter, and serious reflection.  I sit here trying to put into a succinct paragraph all that transpired but suffice to say, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, our Abba, met with us, encouraged and refined us. We were joined by a brother and sister from Western Australia - family in the Messiah that we just hadn't met yet.  We look forward to meeting many more of Yeshua's community in the years to come!   We love to praise - I mean we really love to sing and shout His praises.  We do our best to do as David instructs and maybe we're not as skilful or harmonious, but we certainly are joyful!  The praise and teaching times were recorded to YouTube if you want a refresher.  Like I said, we might not be polished in sound or technique, but we are uncompromising in our devotion to Him and His Word.
