Beginning of Months For You ....

By
Exodus 12: 1  Now YHVH said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, 2“This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you.

 I find it interesting that YHVH said "to you".  Not to the nations around, but to His chosen people, Israel.  This lunar calendar sets apart those who keep His ways and reminds them cyclically and constantly that the Messiah is YHVH's redemptive love to mankind and it is through Him alone that salvation is entered into.  How merciful, how amazing and what wisdom!


Next week we will be gathering here at Hebron to celebrate Pesach, giving thanks for Yeshua our Messiah.  What a blessing that we can come together as a family on the property that we are stewards for.  For those who are able we will be staying overnight and enjoying part of the special sabbath together.  

Hebron homestead has 8 huge bedrooms with bedding for 25 people, 3 large living areas and 3 bathrooms so plenty of room for our little community.  And that's not counting the pull out beds and caravans!  


 One of the aims for Hebron is for it to have the ability to sustain us should we have need.  To this end I enjoy keeping chooks in my hotch potch chook pen and and growing a few veges.  I'm inspired to develop the vege garden and would love to see it producing boxes of veges every week.

Lately my veges, eggs and meat have come from Hebron....one less reason to go into town!

We sent off a trailer load of wethers to the market earlier this month.  Unfortunately the price was so poor that I was quite dejected.  This has given us the opportunity to discuss continuing with the Damara flock and if we do then perhaps we need to market and sell the lamb ourselves rather than be at the mercy of the saleyards.  

Even though the last six months has been very dry our flock has done extremely well and the Damara breed have proven their worth in that regard.  However, we do pray for the seasonal rains to come during April and replenish the soil and provide good pasture.
Being tied to the land and climate, apart from being a wonderful balm for the soul, has the added blessing of being reliant on our Creator and keeping us in touch with His calendar. 

May we all be blessed in Yeshua as we look forward to Pesach next week!

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!

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...

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...
