Foundations

By
Over the last few weeks we have been revisiting the importance of building upon the correct foundations that YHVH outlined through Moses.  These important truths can often be interpreted through our previous experiences, doctrines and beliefs so it's vital that we search the scriptures periodically to refresh and vitalise our understanding.  How kind is our Adoni that He meets us where we're at, draws us into the light of His truth and sets us free to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Last weekend we gathered at Hebron to worship YHVH and share our lives with each other.  How extraordinarily blessed are we to have such sweet company and a fantastic property to enjoy.  Of course that doesn't mean it's all sunshine and lollipops as we have those times when we need to put another before ourselves, to cover a multitude of sins with our love or on the rare occasion, confront an error.  However, these are often the times that the Spirit of YHVH accomplishes a strengthening and knitting together. 

We were so blessed to have Sandy Thomas visit us.  Sandy is one of those rare individuals that leaves you smiling and you just feel blessed having been in his company.  May YHVH continue to bless you in Mildura, Sandy!

The guys erected a fence to create a smaller paddock and protect our young trees.  This is arduous work but it gives us greater flexibility in moving the sheep around and also increases the value of the property. 

 The capers are doing very well this year and here we are ensuring each plant is properly watered and picking our first crop of capers.  We will go over each plant once a week to continue the picking cycle until the season is over and process the capers as go.  Within a couple of weeks we'll be able to sample them.  This will be the sixth year we have had these amazingly resilient plants and we are anticipating a decent crop off them next year.


Trevor and Neal were kept busy swinging gates.  Have I told you before that I love gates?  They make moving around the property so much easier and just make things look proper.  I do like a bit of visual order about the place!


During the holiday break the family has been up enjoying what Hebron has to offer and Brendan has been busy finishing fencing, gates and the orchard watering.  There are three trout in our lower dam and try as we might we were unable to catch them, so they're safe to live another day.

Hebron is such a delight and to see the slow but sure improvements is very satisfying. 

May YHVH's name be lifted high in our comings together.

Shalom.

Joy Comes in the Morning

By
  For over a year South Australia and Victoria have been in drought.  Dams are dry, crops have failed and trees are dying.   When the community bought the property 19 years ago we invested in sinking a bore to ensure water security.  The water quality is good enough to water the stock and our gardens.  We also have large rainwater tanks which have kept water to the house.  However, if the drought had of continued we would have hooked the house up to the bore water as well.    We had stored enough hay to feed our sheep and alpacas and they were well fed.  Investment in the infrastructure has been a big expense in both finances and labour over the years, but it's in years like this that it's well worth it.  It brings so much joy to see the green grass and gardens when the paddocks are bare and dry.   Praise YHVH, the rains came last week!   We have received 40ml over the last couple of weeks and more is on the...

Sheep of His Pasture

By
The guys have been out fixing fences so that our flock can move into the paddock.  The roos have a tendency to break fences and dig holes so it's an ongoing chore unfortunately.  Whilst it's rather nice to see them out in the paddocks, and to see when the joeys emerge from the pouch, it can be frustrating as well. Moving the flock into a different paddock is always one of my favourite things to do because you get to give them a closer check and they're always excited about going into a fresh paddock.   So late in the afternoon last Friday I thought, why not share it with you as well.  Enjoy a quick visit to Hebron and I pray that wherever you are, in whatever pasture our Father YHVH has you, that you are blessed and experiencing His overshadowing kindness.

Pesach 2025

By
It was such a blessing for our community to come together at Hebron  for the Pesach meal and the first day of unleavened bread.   We are not a big community in the Adelaide Hills but we are testifying that  Yeshua is the Messiah and walking in His ways.  There are so many individuals or families that don't have a Messianic fellowship that they can be part of because of geographic distances - or even theological distances.  Our desire is to see Messianic fellowships form and develop in many more parts of Australia so that the sheep of His pasture are fed, nurtured and protected. The Good News of Messiah and His kingdom has been hidden and misconstrued since the early times but the Ruach is revealing truth - the truth that sets His people free.      So as we come together in obedience to observe the moed, whether it's a couple here or a big fellowship over there, we are encouraged and built up in Him as we run the race that He has set before ...
