As many of you are following our weekly release of Kevin Conner’s 1989 teaching series on The Ten Commandments, you may notice that one message is not included — the teaching on “Remember the Sabbath Day.”
Unfortunately, the original recording was not of sufficient quality for public release.
However, the subject itself is far too important to leave unaddressed.
Rather than ignore the Fourth Commandment, we would like to point you to a concise and carefully reasoned booklet Kevin wrote specifically on this issue:
The Day After the Sabbath
This booklet was written with a particular group of believers in mind — especially those within Seventh Day Adventist and Seventh Day Pentecostal circles — though its insights are valuable for Christians more broadly.
It was not written from an antagonistic standpoint.
It was written personally.
It was written pastorally.
It was written scripturally.
After much reading and study on the Fourth Commandment and the keeping of the Sabbath, Kevin became especially struck by the repeated New Testament references to “the morrow after the Sabbath” — the first day of the week.
These passages helped settle for him why the majority of Christians worship on the first day of the week rather than the seventh. Many believers practise this tradition, yet do not fully understand the biblical reasoning behind it.
In this booklet, Kevin explores:
- The Sabbath in its covenantal context
- The transition from the Old Covenant to the New
- The significance of resurrection on the first day
- The meaning of “the morrow after the Sabbath”
- The difference between legal observance and covenant fulfilment
Kevin had — and deeply valued — many Christian friends within Sabbatarian traditions. Yet he believed that some were living in what he described as “covenantal confusion” regarding this subject.
His desire was not to divide, but to clarify.
After all, true believers walk with the Lord seven days of the week, regardless of “a day.” Our accountability is not ultimately to a calendar, but to Christ — and we will all answer to Him “in that Day.”
If this booklet brings light and understanding — whether to Adventists or to Christians generally — its purpose will have been fulfilled.

Continuing the Conversation: Law and Grace
This subject naturally connects with Kevin’s broader teaching on the relationship between law and grace.
For a deeper and more comprehensive exploration, we also recommend his best-selling book:
What Do You Mean I Am Not Under Law, I Am Under Grace?

Together, these two works help clarify one of the most frequently misunderstood areas in Christian theology: the believer’s relationship to the commandments under the New Covenant.
