Inconvenient Truth

Boys honing their archery and shooting skills

We have seen the horrific and evil devastation of the attack on Israel, and the resulting war in the Gazan region, and cannot but be driven to prayer and tears. The hatred and myopic response from many across the world towards Israel is illogical and entrenched demonised thinking. I won't provide a political or spiritual commentary (you can refer to John's recent message for an excellent summary on that front), but I do want to state clearly that the same illogical hatred and myopic thinking is directed towards anyone who stands for Truth and truly follows the Way of Yeshua the Messiah.

With Christmas upon us the demarcation is clear and provides an opportunity for the light of Truth to shine to our families and communities. It's usually not a popular message, and it does come with an element of sacrifice, but compromise emboldens the enemy of our souls. May the Ruach ha Kodesh inflame our courage and conviction.

Team work and new skills

The last few months have been busy at Hebron with seasonal events like the alapaca shearing - and yes, Pablo decided to once again be all dramatic about it. The hay has been cut, baled and sold and now it's time to control the weeds and manage the feed for our stock of sheep. Next month we will process a batch of wethers and fill our freezer.

There is always a plethora of tasks and projects to be completed and these get completed as our small community has time, resources and available hands. It is our desire that as we develop and enjoy this rural community property that it testifies to the greatness of YHVH, and the truth and beauty of Torah. Hebron is one avenue by which we are matured and strengthened on this journey as the Ruach prepares us for whatever lies ahead. We look forward to the day when many others come to celebrate the feasts here and leave enriched with the Word of Truth and encouraged by the hand of friendship.

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

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

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...
