The Lord's Day Part 1: Sabbath and Sunday in Scripture
There has long been a debate about what is meant by the phrase, “The Lord’s Day” in Revelation. Some believe it refers to the sabbath while others believe it shows the sabbath day was changed to Sunday. Join us as we take a look at Sabbath and Sunday in Scripture, exploring some of the most common evidence used to support the Sunday position.
In Part 1 of The Lord’s Day teaching, we saw that the biblical support for changing the Sabbath observance to Sunday (the Lord’s Day) didn’t hold up. Now, in Part 2, we will examine the Lord's Day looking at the Sabbath and Sunday in history to see what led from the Biblical Sabbath Day observance to be changed over to the more modern The Lord’s Day observance on Sunday.
We've all been told that the Sabbath is now on Sunday. But how many of us have truly tested that? Have we truly examined the basis of this belief? Or have we just blindly accepted what we have been taught over the years based on the interpretations of man's views of the scriptures that have been passed down through the generations?
What did Luke reveal about the Sabbath in the lives of Yeshua and the apostles? This teaching explores every Sabbath reference in Luke-Acts and shows how early Christians—including Gentile converts—continued to keep the Sabbath holy.
Show Notes:
This teaching walks through Luke and Acts to demonstrate consistent Sabbath observance by Yeshua, Paul, and other believers. From synagogue customs to Gentile inclusion and the Jerusalem Council, the Scriptures reveal that Sabbath never stopped being part of faithful obedience. Even Acts 20:7 fails to show any transition to Sunday worship. Learn why Luke emphasized the Sabbath and how it applies to followers of Messiah today.
Spiritual Takeaway:
If the earliest followers of Yeshua honored the Sabbath, shouldn’t we?
