“Why Sunday is the Lord’s Day” (#2)
Thomas Kemble set sail from New England on a three-year business trip. When he returned home, he promptly kissed his wife on the porch of their house. Unfortunately, for that public display of affection, he was thrown into the stocks. The reason: that kiss took place on a Sunday violating Boston’s Sabbath laws. Clearly, those were extreme lengths to set apart Sundays. What does the New Testament say about the first day of the week? John MacArthur’s digging into that question and more as he continues his series on The Sabbath and Why We Worship on Sunday.
“Why Sunday is the Lord’s Day” (#1)
Perhaps you’ve seen the movie Chariots of Fire or heard Eric Liddell’s story. During the 1924 Olympics, Liddell dropped out of the 100-meter sprint—his best event—because the race was being held on a Sunday. The question is, was Liddell’s decision a personal conviction, or was it a matter of obedience to Scripture? Bottom line, is working, traveling, or enjoying leisure activities on Sundays forbidden in the Bible? John MacArthur helps answer that question on GRACE TO YOU as he continues his series, The Sabbath and Why We Worship on Sunday.
“Understanding the Sabbath” (#2)
For many Christians, Sunday is the new Sabbath. The day is reserved for worship at church and little else, no work, travel, or leisure. Others say Jesus overruled Old Testament law . . . which means Sabbath regulations don’t apply—Sunday is just like any other day. Then there are those who believe all the Old Testament Sabbath laws should still be kept on Saturday. So . . . how do you know what’s right? John MacArthur helps you understand the Sabbath—why God created it, and how we are to view it—here on the next edition of GRACE TO YOU.
“Understanding the Sabbath” (#1)
When you hear the 4th commandment—honor the Sabbath and keep it holy—have you wondered how that command applies today? After all, the Sabbath is the seventh day, the church today worships on Sunday, the first day. Those questions are answered on then next GRACE TO YOU when John MacArthur begins his study titled The Sabbath and Why We Worship on Sunday.
“Creation Day 6, Part 3” (#2)
In a letter sent to several pastors, an animal-rights group argued that God created animals to “experience pain, fear, sadness, and happiness just as we do”—in effect, they’re not much different from people. The group also said that killing animals for food . . . “is surely the greatest denial of God in human history.” What do you think? The same God who created animals created us, too. Aren’t you somehow disrespecting God—isn’t it somehow wrong—to use His creatures for food? John MacArthur answers those questions and more on the next GRACE TO YOU.
“Creation Day 6, Part 3” (#1)
It has been called America’s deadliest weapon, but the B-2 stealth bomber didn’t earn that reputation with its speed or state-of-the-art weapons system. It’s dangerous because it’s designed to be invisible to even the most sophisticated radar. Those on the ground never see the B-2—only its devastating effects. As John MacArthur will show you, there’s a battle raging in most schools, the media, governments—maybe even in your church. And as with the stealth bomber, the weapons in this battle are not seen, but the effects are devastating. Learn more on the next edition of GRACE TO YOU.
“Creation Day 6, Part 2”
Back in 1999, a team of scientists first mapped a human chromosome’s genetic code, calling their breakthrough “the first chapter in the book of life.” But the truth is, the real first chapter in the book of life has been around for millennia. On GRACE TO YOU, John MacArthur shows you why every verse in the opening chapter of Genesis—and all of Scripture—is trustworthy. Listen as he continues his study on The Battle for the Beginning.
“Creation Day 6, Part 1” (#2)
Having trouble believing that DNA could result from evolution, Nobel prize winning scientist Francis Crick came up with a stunning theory. He called it “directed panspermia,” saying that aliens brought DNA to earth. That’s one of the more creative—and tragic—ways brilliant people have tried to find an alternative explanation to the creation account in Genesis. You can know exactly how DNA, and everything else in this world, came to exist when John MacArthur returns to his study on the next GRACE TO YOU.

You may not realize that a battle is happening right now in your community . . . in your neighborhood . . . perhaps even in your home. This isn’t a battle in military terms. It’s a battle of ideologies. What are the stakes? Find out today on GRACE TO YOU as John MacArthur makes his way through his study titled, The Battle for the Beginning.
“Creation Day 5” (#2)
If you check the news tonight, you’ll likely find multiple, seemingly unrelated stories that share a common bond. Stories, for example, about a proposed law to redefine gender, abortion rights, maybe a science piece discussing the latest thoughts on the origin of the universe. What is the common thread? A subtle—or not-so-subtle—rejection of the God who made us. How can you best defend biblical truth when it comes to those and other hot-button topics? On GRACE TO YOU, John MacArthur’s going to help you with just that.
