The Lord’s Day as Sabbath: The Lord’s Day with W. Robert Godfrey

Summary

The sermon argues that the New Testament affirms a special day for Christian worship, drawing parallels to the "Lord's Day" mentioned in Revelation 1:10 and the uniquely designated "Lord's Supper" in 1 Corinthians 11. Through various New Testament references like the resurrection accounts (Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2, etc.), disciples meeting on the first day of the week (John 20:26), and church gatherings and collections on the first day (Acts 2:1, Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2), the sermon concludes that the first day of the week, Sunday, is the Lord's Day and the apostolic practice for Christian worship. This establishes Sunday not merely as a human observance but as a divinely indicated day of celebration for Christ's resurrection and the fulfillment of the Old Testament Sabbath.
