Broadway Baptist Church Maryville Tennessee

We come this morning to one of the most hotly debated of the commandments. “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it hotly”. In our New Testament setting, “when” is the Sabbath? And “how” are we to keep it holy? Two Massive Cultural Shifts: (1) The first massive cultural shift came in the 1st century as the early church moved to the first day of the week as their day of worship. The term used in the Epistles, “the Lord's Day” is in reference to Sunday not the Jewish Sabbath. (2) The massive shift in our 21st century, where Sunday was observed as a day of rest and worship, but now has become a day of commerce, convenience and personal indulgences.
