The Lord's Day

The first day of the week was important to the Christians of the first century. While John was on Patmos he wrote that he was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day. Jesus was raised on the first day of the week. After his resurrection Jesus met with his disciples on three succeeding first days of the week. The Holy Spirit descended on Pentecost, the first day of the week. The disciples assembled on the first day of the week under the apostle's teaching. The writer of Hebrews admonished the readers to not forsake the assembling together. The assembly on the first day of the week was to join together to engage in the apostles fellowship, in the breaking of bread and the prayers.

Meeting on Saturday or any other day as a replacement for Sunday is unbiblical.
