The First Book of Tsi-Tuhgohhah

# SCRIPT **[NARRATOR – SPOKEN VOICE ONLY]** **[DO NOT SING]** Today we continue our journey through the Nemenhah Sacred Records with **The First Book of Tsi-Tuhgohhah**. This book is different from the records that came before it. Instead of telling the history of wars and migrations, it shows us how a covenant people lived every day. It opens a window into the lives of the Ahmohnayhah and teaches how faith shaped their homes, their families, and their communities. The book begins with marriage. Marriage is treated as a sacred covenant entered into with prayer, family support, and joyful celebration. Children are welcomed as gifts from God, blessed by the community, and given sacred names. As they grow, they are taught truth, agency, and the responsibility to choose the good. The Ahmohnayhah also practiced sacred ordinances. They taught baptism as a symbol of repentance and entering the covenant. They practiced purification to remind the people that true holiness begins within the heart. They administered to the sick through faith, prayer, and anointing, always trusting in the power of God. Families did not stand alone. The Council of Mothers strengthened the homes. Those called to serve were ordained with prayer and the laying on of hands. The people gathered regularly for worship, thanksgiving, songs, and joyful celebrations that united the community. Every custom had a purpose. Every ordinance pointed toward the Peacemaker. Every home became a place where faith was lived instead of merely discussed. The First Book of Tsi-Tuhgohhah reminds us that discipleship is not reserved for sacred buildings. It is lived in our homes. It is seen in the way we love our families, serve our neighbors, worship together, and seek the guidance of Jesus Christ each day. That was the way of the Ahmohnayhah. It can become our way as well.
