Swings and Roundabouts

Two newcomers have joined us here at Hebron and the father and son team will help grow the flock. In fact the 3 year old elder leapt out of the trailer and took off to cause mayhem amongst the girls as soon as the gate was opened. The younger one had an initial case of separation anxiety (he was hand raised) but he's blended in well now.

We also had a visit from an intrepid team of tree loppers pruning a couple of our big red gums running under the power line. This fearless trio requested that they access Bidgebar's pines from our middle paddock and my permission came at the cost of a truck load of mulch.

Unfortunately they decided to take the low soggy road along the fence line and promptly got themselves seriously bogged. But never fear, our trusty John Deer went into action and after some slipping and sliding managed to extract them.

This weekend we will be gathering together up here at Hebron on Shabbat. It will also be New Moon on the following day so a pefect weekend to give honour to our Messiah Yeshua and testify of His return to establish the kingdom of YHVH.

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...

Sukkot in the Adelaide Hills

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!

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...
