Trinity Church Southside
The Lord's Day
As it is the law of nature, that in general a proportion of time, by God’s appointment, be set apart for the worship of God, so by his Word, in a positive moral, and perpetual commandment, binding all men, in all ages, he hath particularly appointed one day in seven for a sabbath to be kept holy unto him (Ex 20:8), which from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ was the last day of the week, and from the resurrection of Christ was changed into the first day of the week, which is called the Lord’s Day (1Co 16:1-2; Act 20:7; Rev 1:10): and is to be continued to the end of the world as the Christian Sabbath, the observation of the last day of the week being abolished (2LBC 22.7).
Thus, on the first day of the week, we come together to worship the guest of honor, the Lord Jesus Christ. We’re a company of lawbreakers who believe God became a man in the person of Jesus, and that at a moment in history He died for us and three days later He was raised from the dead (on a Sunday, which is called the Lord’s Day). This good news of the great God-man we come to celebrate.
So, we assemble at 10a each Sunday to consider one another by paying homage the risen King Jesus (Hebrews 10:24-25). And after, we feast together!
