Teaching the Significance of the Lord’s Day to the Members of the Gospel of Christ Church of Pasadena, California

Abstract

This project aimed to equip members of the Gospel of Christ Church in Pasadena, California, with biblical knowledge about the significance of the Lord’s Day in the life of the local church. Chapter 1 presents the history and ministry context of the Gospel of Christ Church, as well as the project’s goals. Chapter 2 provides the exegesis of three passages of Scripture (Rev 1:10; Acts 20:7; Col 3:16) to show the normative pattern of local churches gathering on Sundays to disciple one another with the Word. Chapter 3 will emphasize the meaningful role that the Lord’s Day played in the life of the Patristic church, along with the responsibility members have to disciple one another. Chapter 4 will describe the project by recounting the material from the sermon series. Chapter 5 will assess the project’s efficacy.
