Waiting...

By
We have come together for Pesach and Shavuot, and we are now waiting for Yom Teruah.  The moedim are set by the moon cycles, not by a man made calendar,  and have been set in place since creation was spoken into being.  Yeshua, the perfect image of YHVH, the Word, the Way, the Truth and the Life, is redeeming and guiding those who follow Him alone. Yeshua the Messiah has come and is coming.  Yeshua the Anointed One waxes and wanes like the moon, reflecting the light of YHVH and declaring His redemptive plan with every season.  How utterly blessed and loved are we!  

Hebrews 1:2 In these last days He has spoken to us in Son, whom He appointed heir of all things and through whom He created the universe.
We obey because we love.  It's not legalistic subservience that we observe His sabbaths and feasts, it is love.  His commandments, His torah, His instruction is His yoke, an easy burden that He shoulders with us because He is kind and good, completely understanding of our humanity.  Hallelu Yah!
Here at Hebron we enjoy brilliant night skies and we can see the moon as it waxes and wanes in its splendour.  As the moon reaches fullness and rises in the sky I often stand on my deck and cry out "come Yeshua! The Spirit and the Bride say come. Maranatha!"   

So we wait and we come together to be encouraged and built together like living stones. With each new moon, each shabbat, each moed we are reminded that His love is eternal and that love is reciprocated with our obedience.  

Hebrews 13:20 Now may the Elohim of shalom, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep by the blood of an everlasting covenant, our Adonai Yeshua, make you complete in every good thing to do His will, accomplishing in what is pleasing in His sight, through 
 Messiah Yeshua.

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

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...
