On the throne...

By
We have been stewards of this property for 6 1/2 years and and for all that time we have needed extra soil to landscape around the house and finish the shed site.  This is not as easy a task as it first might sound.  Firstly, we are needing over a hundred tonne of dirt and secondly, the sheer distance makes it too expensive to pay for cartage.  Thankfully Father YHVH is on the throne and all the earth is His - including land fill!

After responding to an ad on Gumtree I had a road contractor come and visit this morning.  His crew are working up in the Hills and will have semi trailer loads of soil to deliver for free.  It will have some small bits of road base in it but as we are using it for fill around the house and shed floor that shouldn't be too much of an issue.  Needless to say there was a spontaneous offering of thanksgiving!


Yesterday Tiffany and Nathan brought the boys up and Riley enjoyed his 'motorbike' ride and some kite flying.  It was lovely to see them all enjoying Hebron's open spaces and perfect kite flying conditions.  I'm so looking forward to Sukkot when Hebron will enjoy the community being together - sounds of praise, chatting, laughing and kids playing, all coming together to form a sweet incense to YHVH. 

As we prepare ourselves for the coming of YHVH, keeping alert to the signs and the seasons, it is the strength of fellowship and community that matures, protects and hones us.  The wisdom of YHVH in stipulating that His people come together at these times is to be celebrated.  Do we have a heart to hear and obey?  Yes!  Are we evolving and tweaking our understanding of times and days?  For sure.  Do we allow small differences of interpretation separate us?  Absolutely not.  I'm forever grateful that in this journey of faith He has moved us out of the church system, through a time of individual searching and renewal and then into fellowship with like-minded believers. 






Seeing the trees that we planted blossom into a beautiful yellow display is a source of great pleasure at the moment.  Each year our trees grow and provide beauty and shelter, each year the property develops into a more sustainable operation and each year our appreciation, understanding and application of YHVH's Word matures.

Shalom.

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!

Leaves of the tree are for the healing...

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...

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...
