Some attend worship services on Sunday and some on Saturday, the 7th day. It’s habit. It’s ritual.

But what about midweek services (Tuesday for those whose service is on Saturday and Wednesday for those whose service is on Sunday). Do you attend this service that is called Bible Study also?

Do you know the significance of it?

Ask your pastor where did midweek Bible study get its start?

Ask your pastor what is the significance of midweek service?

Ask your pastor is midweek service mandatory?

Here are your answers
Numbers 19

My focus is on verses 18 and 19 but the chapter deals with the laws of purification.

This is where midweek (3rd day) and 7th day services come from.

In verse 18… (Practical application)
The “clean” person would be the pastor (or the one teaching midweek and Sunday).

{{Cleanness before the Lord is a serious matter. We must be holy (clean) as God is holy.

One who is ritually unclean cannot cleanse therefore Christianity is a lifestyle and those who hold roles of leadership are held to a higher accountability and as such is set apart or consecrated for service to the Lord. }}

The tent is your buildings.
The vessels are those who serve.
The persons present are those who are in attendance
Those who touched a bone, the slain…
… are those you stand in the gap for though they might not be present.

The “clean” person sprinkles them on the 3rd and 7th day and then this clean person is required to purify himself, wash his clothes, and bathe in water on the 7th day also.

This means that after this clean person has did the ritual washing of others, they must be ritually washed themselves.

This is shared not to remind those who wash others that they are to go and bathe too.
(See Romans 2:21: Matthew 23:1-4; Psalm 50:16-17)

Instead, this is shared so that the people of God will know that day 3 washing (midweek service) was mandatory and necessary.

This is shared so that the people of God will understand that the practices of the old testament are still happening today – unbeknownst to many.

I have heard some teach that the old Testament practices and rituals are no longer being done nor are necessary. But that is not correct. Jesus didn’t do away with the laws. He fulfilled them.

They are done today as you can see with the law of purification – the day 3 and day 7 washing.

When it’s understood, it can be explained.

When it can be explained, so that the people can understand the significance of the issue, them what the “clean” persons will find is that more will show up to be washed.

Aka more will attend your midweek services because they will understand why this arrangement was put in place and that the pastor didn’t do this just to give people something to do during the week.

While daily washing should be the order of the day…

At least bathe twice a week.

But washing only once a week or every other week, or only for special occasions needs to be a thing of the past.
