Sukkot 2013 - Over and Out

This passing week of Sukkot has been a wonderful time of fellowship with those who could stay the entire time, as well as many others popping in for a visit or a few days here and there.

How blessed are we to be able to come together with a few like-minded disciples of Yeshua and celebrate the ways and instructions of YHVH.

I've thrown together a few photos from Christine's camera to give you a brief overview of our activities:

We were blessed to have 13 lambs born over the past few weeks so they required tagging and vaccinating.

Now when you leave grown men together in a room with nurf guns it's bound to get a little ugly.

A highlight of our time together is always the "Hebron Follies", where young and old alike are given the opportunity to delight this captive audience. Our MC for this year was Christine and she is a natural so will probably retain this role for many years to come! Unfortunately she was also the chief photographer for the week so I don't have a photo with her in it either.

The other annual Sukkot event is the game of cricket by the dam. Lord's cricket ground would not have a more spectacular view, nor on field entertainment.

Visitors and excited little faces ....

For me, entering shabbat together is always a delight. Our expressions are a little different from family to family so it's such a blessing to be able to enter into shabbat as a community at times like this.

As our hearts are continually focused on the coming again of our Messiah Yeshua we are being moulded and guided by the Spirit of YHVH. It's a joy and blessing to be led on the path of observing Torah and embracing the ways of our Creator!

Nehemiah 10:28 "The rest of the people, the cohanim, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple servants and all who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the Torah of YHVH, along with their wives, sons and daughters, everyone capable of knowing and understanding, ³⁰⁽²⁹⁾joined their kinsmen and their leaders in swearing an oath, accompanied by a curse [in case of noncompliance], as follows:

“We will live by God’s Torah, given by Moshe the servant of God, and will perform and obey all the mitzvot, rulings and laws of YHVH our Adoni".

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. Sukkot Worship & Teaching YHV...
