Pesach 2015

We celebrated the Pesach meal together at Hebron and enjoyed the unity of fellowship that comes from being with people whose hearts are joined in purpose and affection.


Now I must confess that I forgot to take enough photos so you'll just have to make do with the few that I snapped at the last minute!


Yeshua was magnified and His sacrifice of love was celebrated.


John made the strong emphasis that in the days previous to Passover when Yeshua cleansed the temple of those who were conducting business He was clearing His Father's house of leaven, in this instance the leaven of the Pharisees that He continually gave warning about; demonstrating powerfully His authority as the Son and the purpose for which He had come.

During this week of Unleavened Bread we have been reminded daily of the extraordinary blessings that are found in Yeshua and being conscious to rid ourselves of the leaven that can impact on our lives and therefore adulterate the message of the kingdom of YHVH.


Tomorrow we gather for the 7th day of Unleavened Bread convocation and give thanks for Yeshua, the first fruits of the first fruit nation of Israel.  

May you be blessed during this precious time.

Shalom

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!

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...
