Passover 2014

By
To celebrate the Passover meal with friends old and new is a blessing we get to enjoy each year and being able to do so here at Hebron makes it even more special.

Rich with prophetic purpose and hope, this day gives us the opportunity to reflect on the miraculous redemption that is found in Yeshua, the Messiah.  Thankfully the redemptive plan did not end with the death and resurrection of Yeshua, but we look forward to the day when He returns to Jerusalem, ushering in the reign of peace and righteousness.


Each year we gather to sit at the table with the elements of the passover meal - lamb, bitter herbs, unleavened bread and grape juice - and obediently uphold the message of torah.  This message sets us apart from the nations of the world and the traditions of men, bringing its own reward of joy and shalom.


35 of us sat down to eat the passover meal and enjoy each other's company, as well as our own Hebron raised lamb.  To be able to do so in our house makes it even that much more special.  I think we could fit in another 15 or 20 people in our living room with a bit of clever arranging.


 We read scripture, sang our praise, prayed and shared our hearts.


We are now in the week of unleavened bread and each day we are reminded to "Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are unleavened.  For Messiah, our Passover, also has been sacrificed.  Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."
1 Cor 5:7-8

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...

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 ...

Where Your Treasure Is.....

By
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...
