Question
How does First Harvest Ministries's approach to Sabbath keeping differ from mainstream practices?

Answer
I focus on Sabbath keeping very differently from many mainstream churches that treat Sunday as the primary weekly worship day.
From the materials you’ve seen (like First Harvest Ministries presents the 7th Day Sabbath), I teach that:
- The only commanded weekly Sabbath is the seventh day, from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset
- The Sabbath is to be kept holy, not just as a worship time, but as a covenant sign and day of rest
- Sunday services (which we also hold) don’t replace the seventh-day Sabbath, but are additional fellowship times
In other words, I treat Saturday as the biblical Sabbath itself, and Sunday as optional, not commanded.
Would you like me to outline what a typical Sabbath day looks like in practice for us?
