Preparations

By

The 10 days between Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur are known in Judaism as the Days of Awe; a time for repentance and preparation.  

Likewise, those of us in Yeshua's community turn our hearts and lives toward our Messiah and His return.

 What a powerful mercy and kindness it is that each annual moedim cycle keeps our eyes fixed on our Saviour and Hope, reminding us that we are sojourners here in this age. 

If we keep His set apart days we will be found to be in the right place at the right time, steady, faithful and humble, waiting patiently for our Great Reward.  One year in the future, as we gather to keep Yom Teruah, blowing the shofars and joining with multitudes across the earth to raise a shout, we will all hear the heavenly shofar blast, we'll see the heavens split open and our King coming on a white horse.  Hallelu Yah!  

We long for the day when He comes to bring to peace, righteousness and justice, and His torah will go out from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth.  When every nation will celebrate Sukkot and honour Yeshua in Israel. 

But in the meantime, let us not trade the temporary desires and temptations of this world for the eternal joy and blessing that is found in our Maker and Father.

We will enjoy being together at Hebron over Sukkot.  We will praise together, pray together, eat together, laugh together and learn together.  Community will be strengthened, our faith will be strengthened and our hope will be made brighter.

Isn't it such a privilege to be able to teach the successive generations of the goodness and power of YHVH and His ways.

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...

Practical Deeds .... Spiritual Dividends

By
The practical outworkings of our worship and obedience may look different from one individual to another, one family to another or one fellowship to another.  Here at Hebron it's a matter of looking after the land, stock, home and infrastructure to ensure that things are ticking along as they should in a timely manner; creating a refuge and oasis, now and for the future.  This week the flock were treated to some mineral blocks, which will provide necessary salts and minerals that they need to remain in tip top shape while they're lambing in the summer months.  The smaller top dam is well and truly dry but this would be the perfect time to get the tractor in there and dig it deeper, which would also have the bonus of providing good dirt for the vegie patch.  This dam is not spring fed so having it deeper would provide more water for next summer, provided it fills during the winter months. The vegie patch, or as I prefer to call it at times, the battlefie...

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...
