Remnant of Israel Shabbat Messages

In today's sermon, Rabbi Philip Snell centers his teaching around Hosea 14, in keeping with the fall feasts that we are currently in. He discusses the importance of repentance, going into detail about what T'shuva really is, as well as the process of repenting to the Lord.

With the Fall Feats approaching, and especially with Yom Teruah coming up next week, Rabbi Philip Snell reminds us of the need for repentance because we are unable to be saved by our own righteousness.

Following with today's youth service, the speaker today was Ezekiel Williams, a young man of 17. Unlike traditional messages, Ezekiel's focuses more on his testimony as he confesses that he has given his life to Christ. He goes through the details of his issues, as well as the events that have shaped him into the man he is today in Christ. It is not recorded here but he was baptized shortly after his testimony. Testimonies could arguably be the most convincing and stirring messages of all, and Ezekiel proved it today.

Note: He cuts out a few times throughout his testimony. The mic he was using did not have full batteries.

Today, we have a guest speaker, Tzofiyah Rogers. Before she starts her message, Rabbi Philip Snell gives us an overview of the ministry that Tzofiyah and her husband, Avi Rogers, are doing both on their own and as a part of Tikkun. In her message, Tzofiyah goes over the concept of marriage, including the spiritual issues with marriage and going into detail about the kind of mindset we need when going into marriage. She ends with a prayer, both for those yet to be married, and those previously or currently married.
