SUMMARY:THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK (Holy or Not?)
DESCRIPTION:Scripture Reading: Matthew 28:1-6\nMemory Verse: Matthew 28:1 \nIntroduction: Is Sunday\, the first day of the week\, holy?\n1. Did God rest or work on the first day of Creation?

SUMMARY:THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK (A New Sabbath or Not?)
DESCRIPTION:Scripture Reading: 3 John 1:1-4\nMemory Verse: John 8:12 \nIntroduction: Here are two other scriptures that many Christians use to support their erroneous belief of Sunday\, the first day of the week.\n1. Was there another first day meeting? Acts 20:7.\nNote: Notice that it says that they were gathered to break bread. But\nwhy? Because Paul was ready to depart on the morrow. This was a\nfarewell gathering for the beloved Apostle.\n2. What first day request did Paul make of the Corinthians?\n1 Corinthians 16:1-2.\nNote: This was not a meeting at all\, because Paul asks each person to\n“lay by him in store.” That is to say\, gather your contribution in your\nown home. This shows they were definitely not having a church service\non that day.\n3. So\, what day did Paul observe? For how long? Acts 18:4\, 11.\n4. Was the Sabbath Day Paul’s custom? Acts 17:2.\n5. Was the Sabbath Day Jesus’s custom? Luke 4:16.\n6. Should we follow Jesus? John 8:12. \nConclusion: No scripture supports Sunday as being God’s Sabbath.

SUMMARY:WHAT IS DEATH?
DESCRIPTION:Scripture Reading: Job 14:12-15\nMemory Verse: Psalm 13:3\nIntroduction: What is death? Is it a life in a subterranean cavern? Is it torment by devils with whips and instruments of torture? What is it?\n1. How does the Bible represent death? 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14.\n2. Where do the dead sleep? Daniel 12:2.\n3.
