The Sabbath Isn't Sunday (1 of 9)
Series: You Better Believe It

Mark 2:23-3:6
Open your bible to Mark 2. Today, we're going to talk about something that's probably not a sizzling conversation starter with your friends and family, but it's a far more important than most people realize. The topic is the Sabbath.

Many Christians have been taught that the only difference between the Jewish Sabbath and the Christian Sabbath is the day it's celebrated. Jews on Saturday and Christians on Sunday. So, some Christians have made up kind of a homemade list of things they can and can't do on Sunday. They won't mow their yard on Sunday, or go to work on Sunday, or run errands on Sunday, or wash their car on Sunday, or go to a movie on Sunday, or go shopping on Sunday, or make a large purchase on Sunday, and the list could go on and on. But, for the most part, all that has done is led people into Christian legalism. It's taught p ...
