The Truth About Why Christians Worship on Sundays

May 30, 2026·27 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Dr. Nathan Jacobs examines the claim that Christians worship changed from Saturday to Sunday because of pagan influence and the Roman Emperor Constantine. Tracing the practice from the New Testament through the early Church Fathers, he explores the Christian understanding of the Lord’s Day, the resurrection of Christ, and the profound theology of the “eighth day” that shaped early Christian worship.Please support the East West series: http://theeastwestseries.com/Do you like this content?
