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

A Jew and a Gentile Discuss

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!
