I am new to the forum, but I learned a lot in the past few weeks from watching Messiah 2030 project presentations and from reading the discussions on the forum.
With the knowledge that God want us to keep the Sabbath, will go to Church and have rest on Sundays still please God? I have two little daughters (3 and 6), and they do enjoy to go to church, and I also volunteer to help in the Children's program. If going to Sunday churches are wrong, should I stop attending church and worship God on Saturdays at home? I feel have a social group is very important especially for the kids, and do not want to go by myself. It might be a good platform to spread God's words, especially to little kids.
There are activities at the local church that I do not really support. Could I give my tithe to some organizations that can better use the fund to spread God's words and help God's people? Thank you so much.

When I started observing Torah and keeping the Sabbath, I rested on Shabbat and continued to go to a Pentecostal church for several years..
I see nothing wrong with that..
Over the years, I grew bolder in my faith and eventually found a small Messianic home church that met on Shabbat.
Truth be told, it doesn't really matter which denomination you belong to, they will eventually teach things that will make you question more and more.. Then it's pretty easy to step away and find a Sabbath keeping church/community.

Thank you for the response and sharing your experience. My precise question is "is that a sin to worship God and rest on Sundays after knowing that God wanted to rest on the Sabbath?"
Personally, I am not a very mature Christian (just knew God in 2018), and I still need a Church community to help me grow in faith. Over years, as knowledge and confidence increase, Holy spirit may take me to a different place that best fit me and my family. If going to Church on Sundays is likely a sin, I will pray and reconsider my personal preference.

Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. [6] He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. [7] For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. |

I don't think it's a sin to go to church on Sunday.
I do think we are to guard the Sabbath and set it apart.. I wouldn't make it "common" by treating it as any other day.
You can worship God every day.. including Sunday..

Thank you both for the replies. Right now, we take the rest on Sundays. But in the future we will try to rest on the Sabbath, and go to church on Sundays. A hard decision we are facing is that some of the classes our kids are taken are on Saturdays, is that a violation of the Sabbath?
