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.

Unleavened Bread - 2024

By
For this small part of Yeshua's body, Healing to the Nations in South Australia, the last few months, including the past week of Pesach, has been ....well, different and unusual.  It has truly been a period of time where Father YHVH has been rooting and grounding us in His love, word and truth.  We gathered together at Hebron to keep the Pesach memorial and there was a stripping back.  No traditions, no add-ons, just Yeshua's Pesach and Yeshua's words.  The following day, the first day of Unleavened Bread, the Father's kindness and uncompromising truth was manifested amongst us.  It was truly a blessed time together.  Traditionally the week of unleavened bread will have an emphasis of dealing with the carnal ego, which is very apt, or the leaven of the pharisees, which is also very apt.  However, Paul emphasised that sin that is tolerated is also leaven that must be exposed and dealt with to ensure that the body of Yeshua is kadosh, which was emphasise...

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!

Shalom with Messiah

By
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...
