Overview: God appoints His ordinances in His Word by precepts --Preach the word- 2 Timothy 4-2-, but as we saw last Lord-s Day, God also appoints His ordinances by the approved example of Christ and the apostles- in other words, approved examples are equivalent in authority to divine commands. -On the first day of the week-, the Lord Jesus was raised from the dead -Mark 16-9-, lying under the power of death on the Jewish Sabbath.---On the first day of the week-, Jesus came blessing His apostles with peace, and did so a week later as well -while passing over the Jewish Sabbath-. The Day of Pentecost fell upon the first day of the week, when Jesus poured out the New Covenant fullness of the Holy Spirit upon His Church -Leviticus 23-15-16-. -On the first day of the week-, the apostolic church gathered for worship -Acts 20-7-Paul waited several days in Troas for--the first day of the week to lead worship while skipping over the Jewish Sabbath-. -On the first day of the week-, Paul authorized the Church of Corinth -and the Churches of Galatia- to collect their love gift for the poor brethren in Jerusalem -1 Corinthians 16-1-2-. The first day of the week is called -the Lord-s Day- by the Apostle John -Revelation 1-10-, who received a heavenly vision of the history of the Church from the Lord Jesus on the day instituted by the Lord Jesus for worship.--In Acts 20-7, we will be considering three ordinances appointed by the Lord- the Lord-s Day, the Lord-s Supper, and the Lord-s Word. The main points this Lord-s Day are- -1- Objections to a First Day Sabbath- -2- The Church Gathered to Receive the Lord-s Supper- -3- The Church Gathered to Hear the Preaching of the Lord-s Word.
