I work retail and sometimes my schedule only allows me to attend church on Saturday nights. However, I feel guilty for not going on Sunday. In your opinion, does it really matter the date you attend service?

There is no command in the bible anywhere that you must attend church on Sunday. Dont feel bad, Sunday worship is just something that Christians have traditionally done for about 1800yrs, not a command from God to do so.

Don't feel guilty. I really loved Saturday night services at my old church. We had a lot more of a sense of community than the Sunday services because we were smaller.

If you can get plugged into a regular Saturday evening service where you're being spiritually fed, and having fellowship with other Christians, there is nothing wrong with it. Not everyone has Sunday morning free.

God's opinion is most important ... and fortunately he revealed it in his Word the Bible which declares we are no longer limited to what day
Colossians 2:16
[ Freedom From Human Rules ] Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.

Good post. Ultimately, we need to ask not what man says...but what scripture says.

I wish our church had services on Saturday evenings. We have 2 on Sunday mornings, and I'd seriously rather sleep in. Saturday evenings would be more convenient. Or even Sunday evening. I'm not a morning person lol!

Why not. There is no "special" date in Scripture for Christians. Sunday is just conventient for many and even then many meet on other days as well.

Considering that the bible says keep the Sabbath, Saturday is a MUCH better day than Sunday.

No Saturday is the Sabbath so you do not work Saturday , where as the Church is on Sunday in most cases which represent the day after the Sabbath which Jesus was Resurrected from the dead , which is the very basis of the Christians faith .....................See there is No law from God on the day which people must worship the Lord for Christians as long as people remember to worship the Lord daily or weekly which is the motive of the Sabbath , as people ignore God and do not worship Him and forget to bother altogether .....................Where as Christians should have the Holy Spirit on their lives and should bring the Holy Spirit to church to do a work for Christ ..................... So go ahead and go to church on Saturday night knowing that God will not send a thunder clap against your life, and Jesus will not have eternal judgment waiting for you after your days in the earth .....
