Before there was a Catholic or Methodist on the face of the earth, on the first day of the week the disciples came together to break bread, the Lord’s Supper (Acts 20:7). At that time, no man-made church existed—there were only churches that belonged to Christ.

So, why do so many people assemble every Sunday (which is the first day of the week) to offer worship? Why not every Monday night or every Saturday morning? Do you know? Is it merely the habit of our society?

No verse says “Christians must worship on the first day of the week,” so why is that regularly practiced? Would you be a member of a church that did not assemble on this day?

This was clearly the day on which the first Christians assembled to break bread, hear teaching, and return to God a portion of that which He had given them financially, as Acts 20:7 & 1 Corinthians 16:2 show. Must we follow their example in these things?

After reading those verses, consider this: Why do many people today assemble every Sunday, take a collection every Sunday, but do not break bread every Sunday? Think. Does giving to God every Sunday make it less meaningful? Not if the heart is right. Churches rarely would let a Sunday go by without taking a collection but week after week, there is no memorial of Jesus’ death as He instructed—why? I would be pleased to hear your answer.
