Why do Christians worship on Sunday instead of Saturday?

Did we just change the Sabbath—or is something deeper going on?

In this episode of Gospel Gumbo, we explore the biblical, historical, and theological reasons why the early church shifted its primary day of worship from the Jewish Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday—the Lord’s Day. This isn’t about convenience. It’s about resurrection, creation, and new creation.

We’ll unpack:

• What the Old Testament says about Sabbath rest
• How Jesus challenged and fulfilled the Sabbath
• Why the early church began meeting on the first day of the week
• Historical writings from the early church (e.g., Didache, Justin Martyr)
• What Sunday worship says about God’s timeline, rhythm, and promises

This episode will deepen your appreciation for why gathering on Sunday isn’t just tradition—it’s theology in motion.
