Embracing A Hebraic Lifestyle

Walking in God's sacred rhythms of time.

with Sharon Webster
For the Increase of His Kingdom | Isaiah 9:7

We are returning to our biblical roots—seeking to walk in the ways of the early church through biblical application, Spirit-led living, Kingdom-focused ministry, and fruit that remains.

As part of this journey, we align our lives with the Biblical calendar, gathering our families:

Weekly around Shabbat
Monthly for Firstfruits (Rosh Chodesh)
Yearly to honor the Feasts of the Lord

In addition to the Gregorian calendar, we embrace the Hebraic calendar as a framework for understanding biblical times, seasons, and appointed feasts.

Below you'll find teaching and insights for the current biblical month and its prophetic significance for our walk today.

BIBLICAL MONTHS

The Blessing of the Biblical Months

Every biblical month carries an invitation to recognize and walk in the blessings and benefits God has appointed for that season.

Years ago, the Lord began speaking to me about the significance of the biblical months and the blessings woven into His appointed times. I began to understand that the biblical calendar is more than a way of marking days—it reveals rhythms, patterns, and seasons that help us become more attentive to what God is doing.

Psalm 103 tells us, “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.”

That became part of the foundation of this journey for me: What are the benefits God doesn't want us to forget?

What has He placed within His appointed times that He wants us to recognize, receive, and steward?

Each month gives us an opportunity to pause, seek the Lord, remember His covenant faithfulness, and ask:

What is God highlighting in this season?
What does Scripture reveal about this month?
What blessing is He inviting us to receive and walk in?
How should we respond?

This is why we gather at the beginning of each biblical month for Firstfruits (Rosh Chodesh, “head of the month”)—an intentional time to honor the Lord, seek Him concerning the month ahead, and bring the first of the month before Him in worship, thanksgiving, and expectation.

We are not looking to the calendar to tell us our future. We are looking to God—allowing His Word, His appointed times, and the leading of the Holy Spirit to help us recognize His purposes in each season.

That last distinction is important to your teaching because it makes clear that this isn't astrology, superstition, or the month somehow possessing power independently. The blessing comes from God. The calendar helps us recognize His patterns and appointed times.

Then I would transition directly into your current-month material with something like:

Each month, I share biblical and prophetic insights to help you recognize the themes, invitations, and blessings God may be highlighting in the season.

Tishri — The Seventh Month

The Trumpet Is Sounding: Awaken, Return & Dwell in His Presence

“In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.”
— Leviticus 23:24 NKJV

What is the biblical significance of Tishri (Tishrei)?

Tishri is the seventh month of the biblical calendar and contains several significant appointed times: Yom Teruah (the Day of Trumpets), Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), and Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles). The first of Tishri is also observed today as Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the Hebrew civil year.

As we move from Elul into Tishri, the journey of Teshuvah continues—but the sound of the trumpet announces that we have reached a threshold.

In this teaching, Sharon Webster explores Tishri through Yom Teruah, Rosh Hashanah, Psalm 27, God's presence, alignment, and the transition into 5787.

One simple rhythm captures the invitation:

DWELL → HEAR → RESPOND → BUILD

Perhaps the question for this new season isn't simply, “What more can I do?”

Perhaps it is: “Father, how are You calling me to live?”

TISHRI — THE SEVENTH MONTH

Trumpets • Atonement • Ingathering • Coronation

30 Days — September / October

Tishri is the seventh month of the biblical calendar and contains the great fall appointed times of the Lord. The month opens with Yom Teruah—the Day of Trumpets, continues through Yom Kippur—the Day of Atonement, and culminates in Sukkot—the Feast of Tabernacles. It is a month to awaken at the sound of the trumpet, return wholeheartedly to God, dwell in His presence, and rejoice in His faithfulness and provision.

Tribe: Ephraim

Characteristics: A month of awakening, returning, dwelling, harvest, and rejoicing in the presence of God.

  • The month to hear the trumpet and awaken to what God is saying and doing.

  • The month of return and repentance as the journey of Teshuvah moves toward Yom Kippur.

  • The month to dwell in His presence—to seek, behold, inquire, wait, and take courage (Psalm 27).

  • The month of appointed times—Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot call God's people to remember and respond to Him.

  • The month of harvest and rejoicing—celebrating God's provision and faithfulness.

  • The month to move from striving to dwelling: Dwell → Hear → Respond → Build.

  • The month to carry your recalibration forward. Don't leave behind what God revealed during Elul; cross the threshold aligned with His design.

  • The month to remember that God desires to dwell with His people. Sukkot points us toward the joy of His presence among us.

Key Scriptures: Leviticus 23:23–44 • Numbers 29:1–40 • Psalm 27:4–5, 13–14 • John 10:10

Tishri's invitation:
Awaken. Return. Dwell. Rejoice.
