Sukkot - 8th Day

By
So the festival season is over for another year and what a blessing it has been.  The Great 8th Day was celebrated by those who could be at Hebron with shofar blasts, praises and fellowship.  We also shared around the Word and explored the purpose of the 8th Day and how it testifies of the millennial reign of Yeshua and the outpouring of the Ruach HaKodesh, bringing righteousness, healing and restoration.  And we say "Maranatha!" 

Some of us enjoying the sukkah one morning.

 The day before Sukkot we sent off three of our sheep to be slaughtered and dressed.  They were all in good nick and we were very pleased with the quality of the cuts. Here's Christine having a bit of a laugh with the Lion and the lamb :)

Part of Hebron's purpose is to be a provision of meat, vegetables and fruit for ourselves and eventually for others in need as we become more fruitful.  At the moment we are able to keep ourselves supplied with lamb but we are slowing working towards self sufficiency in other areas as well.  Don't forget to let me know what you would like to purchase and I can bring it into town on the weekends.

The child safety fence was finished during the week and all I need to do now is lay an appropriate ground surface and paint the fence.  This is such a blessing and I for one am extremely grateful as Riley is such an independent little explorer.

Here's Neal moving some rubble to fill in some low areas around the house.  The tractor has certainly proved its worth this week in assisting to build the sukkot, moving the sheep loading ramp, drilling fence holes, slashing grass and moving rubble.  Most importantly though, the kids loved being given a ride!

The fruit trees were weeded, fertilised and watered this week also.  They have been putting on good growth and we're anticipating a small but tasty crop this year!  We also spent a bit of time preparing the little caper plants for spring.  They have experienced a very hard time but we are determined to give the little guys our best efforts to revive them.

Others have taken some lovely photos so I will be adding other posts as I get access to those as well.

All in all these last 8 days have been a wonderful time of fellowship and praise.  We are constantly amazed at how blessed we are to be entrusted with this small block of land that we call Hebron.  We have collectively worked very hard to improve the infrastructure, land and stock but we are very aware that it's not by might, it's not by power but by the Spirit of Yehovah that our fellowship and Hebron is developed.  
 
This week of Sukkot has been a blessed time and we all experienced the joy and shalom of being here in one accord.  We look forward to next year and all that Yehovah does in our midst!

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!

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

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...
