S3 EP5 | Why Do Jews Meet On Saturdays And Christians On Sundays?

Is one day right and one wrong? In this episode of A Jew and A Gentile Discuss, Carly and Ezra discuss the different days Jews and Gentiles worship and the biblical reasons why. Their conversation takes them to:

The biblical first and last days of the week

Two reasons why Jewish people worship on Saturdays

When did Jesus’ followers switch from meeting on Saturdays to Sundays…or did they?

The significance of Sunday for Believers in Jesus

What is “the Lord’s Day” in Revelation chapter 1?

Along the Way

And along the way, you’ll glean a lot more:

The days of the week on an Israeli calendar

The first thing God called holy

What about Jesus’ encounter with the rabbis when He and His disciples picked grain to eat on the Sabbath?

How we know that Jesus kept the Sabbath

The significance of authorship and audience when it comes to understanding the New Testament

Something we don’t see in Scripture

The unique situation for Messianic Jewish people

And what would a Jew and Gentile podcast be without challenges to both the Jewish and Gentile audiences? Listen carefully – they’re excellent!
