Pastor Steven Dilday
"Q. Hath God appointed any other set times to be kept holy to the Lord, besides the sabbath?

A. None but the Jewish festivals or ceremonial sabbaths, which being only shadows of things to come, they expired with Christ’s coming; but the command for the weekly sabbath being moral, it continues still in force, Col. 2:16,17; Gal. 4:9-11; 1 Cor. 16:1,2.

Q. Are we bound to keep the holy-days observed by others, such as days for Christ’s birth, passion and ascension; days dedicated to angels, as Michaelmas; to the virgin Mary, as Candlemas; besides many others dedicated to the apostles and other saints?

A. Though it be pretended that these days serve to promote piety and devotion, yet we have no warrant from God to observe any of them; nay, it appears to be unlawful to do it: for 1st, God doth quarrel men for using any device of their own for promoting his service or worship, without having his command or warrant for it, as in Deut. 12:32; Isa. 1:12; Jer. 7:30. 2ndly, the apostle Paul doth expressly condemn the Galatians for observing such holy days, Gal. 4:10,11. 3dly, It is a disparaging of the Lord’s day which God hath appointed, and a usurping of his legislative power, for men to set days of their appointing on a level with his day, as the institutors do, by hindering people to labor thereupon. 4thly, It is an idolatrous practice to consecrate days to the honor of saints and angels, for commemorating their acts, and publishing their praise; such honor and worship being due to God alone.

Q. Were not these days appointed by the ancient church, and authorized by great and holy men?

A. It was will-worship in them, seeing they had no power to institute holy-days: for, 1st, Under the law, when ceremonies and festivals were in use, the church appointed none of them, but God himself. 2dly, We read nothing of the apostles appointing or observing such holy-days; not a word of their consecrating a day for Christ’s birth, his passion, or ascension; nor a day to Stephen the proto-martyr, nor to James, whom Herod killed with the sword. We read of the apostles observing the Lord’s day, and keeping it holy, but not of any other. 3dly, These other days are left unrecorded, and uncertain, and so are concealed like the body of Moses, that men might not be tempted to abuse them to superstition. 4thly, These days have not the divine blessing upon them; for they are the occasions of much looseness and immorality." – John Willison, An Example of Plain Catechising, Upon the Assembly’s Shorter Catechism (1737).

"If you want to understand Reformed theology (i.e., the whole counsel of God) the Puritan Hard Drive is unsurpassed, outside the Bible itself. ... There is no other resource, outside Scripture itself, where you can find so much of God's truth as in the Puritan Hard Drive. ... now that I have the Puritan Hard Drive, I am able to use my time much more efficiently in finding that particular document I need by quickly searching for it and finding it in a matter of seconds. ... I am able to simply cut and paste from the Puritan Hard Drive to my own document with ease." - Pastor Greg Price (Covenanter Author and Theologian)

A Brief Summary Of The First-Day Sabbath: God Changed the Day of Worship to the Lord's Day by Greg Price (Free MP3)
http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=55151034130

Every intelligent person knows that Sunday is of Pagan origin and of idolatrous import, coming down to us through Popery and Prelacy, associated with Christmas, Easter and other idolatrous and superstitious ceremonies of antichristian origin. The infidel editor knows the pecuniary value of this idolatrous term prefixed to his secular journal, as the Sunday Mercury, Herald, &c. Were he to prefix the word Sabbath, or Lord's day to his caption, the number of his patrons would be quickly reduced. From ignorance of the true meaning of the Sabbath and from hereditary superstition, such a person hates the very word; as on the other hand the enlightened Christian, from reverence to divine authority, must dislike a profane substitute. The Sabbath is the Lord's day, of which no person or nation can rob him with impunity. 2 Chron. 36:21; Neh. 13:18. It has ever been a sign between the Lord and his people. Ex. 31:13. Since its first institution the Sabbath has been the Lord's (katapausis) rest, before it can be that of a believer. Heb. 4:1. To the people of God there still remains, after the abrogation of the Mosaic economy (Sabbatismos) the keeping of a Sabbath-to be a weekly memorial of the works of creation and redemption as taught in Heb. 4:9,10. This Sabbatismos is to them a lively emblem, a sure pledge, and real antepast of their (katapausis) everlasting rest. - David Steele, (1882). https://www.covenanter.org/subjects-1/2015/6/29/sabbath?rq=Steele%20Sabbath

Trying the Spirits To Avoid Antichrist, His False Doctrine (Arminianism, Sacramentalism, Etc.), His False Worship (the Mass, Man-Made Hymns, Musical Instruments In PUblic Worship, Etc.), His Holy Days (Christmas, Michaelmas, Candlemas, Easter, Good Friday, Ash Wednesday, Assumption of Mary, Immaculate Conception, All Saints Day, Etc.) and Much More By Jim Dodson, John Calvin, Greg Price, John Knox, Dr. Steven Dilday, Westminster Divines, W.J. Mencarow, John Owen, Jonathan Edwards and Others (Free MP3s, Videos and Books Online)

Summary: Deals with many ways the spirit of Antichrist invades the thinking and actions of individuals, families, churches (even soteriologically Reformed churches) and nations. An excellent sermon that gets even better in the second half, so make sure to listen to the very end.
