4. A. Sunday Was the Day of
the Resurrection
Luke 24:1 Now upon the first day of the week, very
early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing
the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with
them.
1. The resurrection proved the deity of Christ
Romans 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power,
according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from
the dead:
2. There would be no church without the resurrection
1 Corinthians 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our
preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

5. 3. There would be no salvation without the resurrection
1 Corinthians 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your
faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
4. The resurrection authenticated the teachings of
Christ
John 2:18-21 Then answered the Jews and said unto
him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou
doest these things? Jesus answered and said unto
them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise
it up.Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this
temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
But he spake of the temple of his body.

6. a. His answer to those seeking a
sign of authority
b. Resurrection a fitting day to
teach His word
5. Sunday is a great day to
gather to celebrate new life

7. B. Sunday was the day of
Worship for Early Christians
Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the
disciples came together to break bread, Paul
preached unto them, ready to depart on the
morrow; and continued his speech until
midnight.
1. What makes a day of worship?
a. A day to pray and preach the gospel
b. A day to fellowship with believers and
Celebrate communion
c. A day to give offerings to the Lord
2. The first day of the week was for Communion and
Preaching (Acts 20:7)

8. 3. The first day of the week was for bringing
offerings to the Church
1 Corinthians 16:2 Upon the first day of the week
let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath
prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I
come.
4. Why did early Christians go to the temple on
Saturday?
a. On Saturday they evangelized at the temple
b. On Sunday they worship in Church meetings
c. On Sunday we follow their example in public
worship

9. C. Sunday Commemorates
Deliverance from the Law
O Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified
by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus
Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that
we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not
by the works of the law: for by the works of the law
shall no flesh be justified.
1. Christ died to deliver us from the law
2. No one can be justified by keeping the law
Galatians 3:11 But that no man is justified by the
law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just
shall live by faith.

10. 3. We are saved by grace through faith
a. No amount of law keeping or other works can
save us
b. We ought to celebrate being free from the law
4. Grace calls for higher standard than the law
Romans 7:6 But now we are delivered from the
law, that being dead wherein we were held; that
we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in
the oldness of the letter.
a) The spirit of the law calls for greater holiness
b) The law called for Israel to rest on Saturday
c) Under grace we rest and worship one day a week
d) For centuries most Christians have made Sunday that day of
rest and worship

11. “ those who walked in the
ancient practices attain unto
newness of hope , no longer
observing Sabbaths, but
fashioning their lives after the
Lord’s day, on which our life
also rose through Him, that we
may be found disciples of
Jesus Christ, our only teacher.”

12. Conclusion
A. Keeping a Certain Day of Worship Does Not
Save
Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above
another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every
man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
B. Growth in Grace Comes through public and
private worship
1. We ought to have private worship everyday
2. Sunday is a fitting day for public worship
Colosians 2:16-17 Let no man therefore judge you in
meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of
the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a
shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ
