Why are you here?

4 reasons to prioritize church participation

  1. Perseverance (Acts 20:1-6, 13-16)
  2. People (Acts 20:7a)
  3. Purpose (Acts 20:7b)
  4. Power (Acts 20:8-13)

Other resurrection accounts in the Scripture:

  1. Jesus resurrects others – Luke 7:11-15 (widow of Nain’s son); 8:49-56 (Jairus’s daughter); John 11:38-44 (Lazarus)
  2. Jesus’ resurrection – John 20; Luke 24; Mark 16; Matthew 28
  3. Elijah and Elisha 1 Kings 17:19-22 (a widow’s son whom Elijah is staying with); 2 Kings 4:34-35 (the Shunammite’s son)
  4. Peter – Acts 9:36-41 (Dorcas)

Why Sunday not Saturday?

  1. Jesus rose from the dead and appeared to the disciples on Sunday (Mark 16:2, Matt 28:1; John 20:19)
  2. In order to insist on Saturday (the Sabbath Day) as the rightful meeting day of the church one must…
    1. Ignore the tradition of the church
    2. Ignore the teaching of Paul – Romans 14:5
    3. Still abide by the law
