Koinonia

By
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 ...

Over a year ago Yakira and I dreamt of how Hebron's fellowship house could  be updated and better suited to how we functioned as a messianic community.    We could see a fellowship room that had room to easily accommodate people and all the instruments.  Of course there had to be room to wave branches during Sukkot and the odd flag or two as well!  Being of the creative ilk we also wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing and could see the HTTN logo painted on a wall.   The design of the logo has evolved over time to reflect the mandate that YHVH has set for this part of His body in Adelaide.  Sonya devoted many hours to bring to life the visual expression of that mandate and Yakira redesigned the logo.    Why so much attention to a logo and visual expression of the mandate?  Because we as a community of torah-loving disciples of Messiah Yeshua have hearts that hold dreams and promises that are bigger than us as individuals or even co...

Sukkot in the Adelaide Hills

By
  With the autumn feasts upon us I was reflecting on Sukkot last year and how the year since has been full of YHVH's blessings and encouragements.   The HTTN community purchased the property nearly 19 years ago and we have worked hard to develop it.  There is still much to be done so that it can facilitate the purposes that YHVH wants for it but He has proven Himself faithful to His word over the years.  Not a minute too late, not a minute too soon.   We are looking forward to celebrating Yom Teruah next week and then Sukkot a few weeks later.  Hebron will once again be filled with the sound of shofars, singing and laughter.  Yes, there have been times of weeping and even then He proves Himself merciful and faithful. Hallelu Yah!

Shalom with Messiah

By
In a few weeks we will begin the next phase of the moed with Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.  As with every year, we are eagerly anticipating this time with YHVH and the community in the Adelaide Hills.   One thing we say every year is that we long for the day when the wider Messianic community come together at Sukkot to celebrate with praise, feasting and fellowship.  It would seem that the Messianic community is relatively young and scattered in Australia and in the early days we would at times wonder if there was anyone else responding to the call to come out of the Christian church system and return to the ancient paths.  And of course there were and are. It's always so exciting when we meet another person or family who are on the same path and we can rejoice together.  We all have different stories, backgrounds and experiences but the common and binding truth is that YHVH is love and that love is expressed not only in His redemption but in the fullness o...
