Sukkot 2017

By
Sukkot was a wonderful time of fun, fellowship and friendship.  Hebron was filled with the noise of children, chatter, music, motorbikes, dogs and the ding-dong of the mealtime bell.  It was busy, it was chaotic and it was marvellous.
 
 
We had daily times of scripture and prayer, and weather permitting we sat under the sukkah.   It's these times that bring such encouragement on our journey along this narrow road.  
 

 


Sukkot is a wonderful opportunity to put the busyness of life aside for a while to renew our hope in the coming of Messiah Yeshua and celebrate His lovingkindness and mercy.
 
 
What a blessing Hebron is.  We had perfect weather for a picnic by the dam and kite flying, and of course the annual cricket match.
 
 


And Sukkot at Hebron wouldn't be the same without the Hebron Follies!  We were entertained by musical prowess, wit and humour.
 
 
 During our evenings we chatted through the first few chapters of Romans but we're always up for some good natured competition so quiz nights proved very popular.
 
 
 During the week we completed a few tasks, had a bonfire and enjoyed Hebron because we had such lovely weather.  Surely we are the most blessed of people to have such a property and accommodation where we can come together for Yehovah's festivals.
The name Hebron loosely means to unit, to join, society or friendship and our Hebron facilitates exactly that.  The development of community is vital in our Father's plans for the body of Messiah.  His Ruach refines us as individuals and knits us together so that His Name and Word is made alive in us and through us. 
 

So thanks everyone for making Sukkot so enjoyable this year.  For those who couldn't make it because of sickness and life commitments, you were very missed.  
 
May Yehovah continue to refine us as a community and personally so that we are made ready for that Day when Yeshua comes to reign from Jerusalem.
 
Bless His mighty and awesome Name!

Where Your Treasure Is.....

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...

2025 Moedim - Appointed Times

By
Here in Australia it's spring but in the northern hemisphere the feasts at this time of year are known as the 'fall feasts' - Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.   Yom Teruah Teaching It's new moon, Yom Teruah and we are anticipating Yom Kippur and the joy of Sukkot.  It's time for shouting, rejoicing, repenting and preparation - all in expectation to meet our King, our Messiah!  We put up banners, decorate our sukkah, fill the fridges and light the fires.   We will rejoice, we will enjoy each other's company but most of all, we know we will bless our Father with our obedience and He in turn will bless us. See you there!

Sukkot 2025

By
When the sun set on the 8th day of Sukkot there was much to be grateful for.  It was a week of joy and laughter, and serious reflection.  I sit here trying to put into a succinct paragraph all that transpired but suffice to say, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, our Abba, met with us, encouraged and refined us. We were joined by a brother and sister from Western Australia - family in the Messiah that we just hadn't met yet.  We look forward to meeting many more of Yeshua's community in the years to come!   We love to praise - I mean we really love to sing and shout His praises.  We do our best to do as David instructs and maybe we're not as skilful or harmonious, but we certainly are joyful!  The praise and teaching times were recorded to YouTube if you want a refresher.  Like I said, we might not be polished in sound or technique, but we are uncompromising in our devotion to Him and His Word. Sukkot Worship & Teaching    YHV...
