Sukkot 2024

By

The Healing to the Nations fellowship came together to celebrate Sukkot here at Hebron and what a blessed time it was.

It seems that since Sukkot life and work got crazy busy so an update on our time together slipped off the priority list.  But as I reflect back on our time together and what has transpired since then I am again encouraged.

There was a flurry of preparation in the meeting room and sukkah, and Hebron was ready for a big week of fellowship, praise and times with our King and Adonai. 

Although there was one big disappointment because I could not locate the flags that we line the driveway with.  Colourful flags will definitely make an appearance for Sukkot 2025 though.

Not everyone was able to come up at Sukkot and they were missed but there is always next year.  Father Yehovah's wisdom in establishing the annual feasts is such a powerful prophetic witness and joy for Messiah's body.

The highlight of Sukkot is always spending time under the sukkah in the morning to go through the scriptures and pray.  This year the weather was perfect so we were able to spend a lot of nights out in the sukkah as well.  

Yehovah encouraged and challenged us through the teaching, the praise music and prophetic words.  Australia's time has come.  He has heard the prayers and groans over many, many years and the river of His blessing is about to flood through the land. Hallelu Yah!

Being obedient to His Word and commandments brings joy and shalom into our lives.  Sunday worship gives way to the blessing of Shabbat, Christmas and Easter gives way to the feasts of Yehovah and traditions and doctrines give way to the truth of scripture.  Life then just makes sense.  We no longer have to wonder that there's got to be more than this.  More than just rocking up to a meeting a couple of times a week, more than a belief that when I die I go to heaven and not hell.

The whole book - from Genesis to Revelation - comes together and His plan not just for mankind, but our individual lives, becomes evident, meaningful and wonderful.  Each commandment, each instruction, each feast all are parts of the whole.  The kingdom of Yehovah come and His will being done on earth as it is in heaven.  

The body of Messiah is in desperate need of His living water to revive and restore.  There are precious loved ones in the system of Christianity who are saying "there's got to be more than this" and we know that prayer is about to be answered.  

So this small fellowship in the Adelaide Hills was greatly blessed this Sukkot and since then Yehovah has opened doors and shared a little of His intentions for our region in Australia.  May His kingdom come and His will be done in us and through us!

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!

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

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...
