looking for help reconciling the Sabbath with common observation?

Absolutely.
But the OT sabbath keepers used the commandment to keepone day separate to free themselves from keeping th other days holy too.

It says nothing about worship.

What if he is retired ? Or sick ?
Or injured and can't work ?
Is he breaking a commandment from God if he heals instead of works 6 days ?

As a NT man, I rejoice in my freedoms from OT Laws that were only a shadow of the coming Christ, and life in Him.
OT...Keep one day holy-separate.
NT...Keep everyday holy and be separate from this world and its filth.

Break just one commandment and you have broken the whole law.
Murder is no different than theft or adultery. They are all part of the same 10 commandment law.
Idol worship, cursing God, NOT resting on the 7th day sabbath from your daily labors. Still the same law.

You say you are a NT guy? Would you like a list (from the NT) where each and every one of the 10 commandments is fully endorsed and commanded for Christians still to keep?

Perhaps a list of the 10 (from the OT) even before the Israelites reached Mt. Sinai?

Here are the commandments NT people are to keep...
1...Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.
2...Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Thanks to Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, we can keep both commandments flawlessly.

That's OT too:
1...Deut 6:5
2...Lev 19:18

But don't you know the last 6 of the 10 commandments are summed up by the one command to love your neighbor? Rom 13:9
"It is briefly comprehended" (anakephalaioō - to sum up, make a summary)
So the first 4 would be summarized by the command to love God.

And still no one is interested in the NT commands where ALL 10 are still fully endorsed and remain a valid binding contract between God and His people. No matter if it's OT of the past or NT now......

The bible is full of examples where all 10 commandments are known and kept by His people. Both OT and NT.

But I'm starting to think I'm just wasting my time here.....

This is why Christian’s do not observe the Sabbath, or other parts of the law. God and The Apostles made i abundantly clear it was not required. The Apostles wrote letters and sent their own representatives to verify it was from them.

Acts 15:22-29 KJVS
Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: [23] And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: [24] Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: [25] It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, [26] Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. [27] We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. [28] For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; [29] That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well.

The mistake is in assuming that Acts 15 says the Ten Commandments were cancelled. It does not say that at all.

Acts 15 does not say that the Ten Commandments were abolished. It says that the Gentiles were not to be forced to become circumcised and take upon themselves the whole system of Moses as a condition of entering the faith.

Notice the words carefully: “to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things.” Then four things are named: things offered to idols, blood, things strangled, and sexual immorality. These were necessary things for new Gentile believers to stop doing. The apostles did not say, “These four are now the only commandments you must ever obey.”

There is another important point. The very next verse says:

“For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.” (Acts 15:21)

Why mention Moses being read every Sabbath if the commandments had just been cancelled? Jesus Himself said:

“If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.” (Matthew 19:17)

And He also said:

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14:15)

Acts 15 is therefore not saying, “The commandments are gone.” It is saying, “Do not burden new Gentile believers with circumcision and the full yoke of Moses as a requirement for entering the faith.” They were given a starting point, while they continued learning the Scriptures.

If Acts 15 meant that only four rules remained for Christians, then Jesus' own words about keeping His commandments would make no sense. The apostles did not come together to overthrow Jesus' teaching. They came together to help Gentiles enter the faith without putting a burden on them that God had not required.

Acts 15 abolishes circumcision and the Mosaic yoke as covenant‑entry requirements, not the Ten Commandments, and not the Sabbath as a creation‑rooted moral principle.
The apostles reject the claim “you must be circumcised and keep the law” (i.e., the Sinai package) as a condition for salvation, but they never say “the commandments are cancelled,” nor do they reduce Christian ethics to four rules.
The four prohibitions are table‑fellowship essentials for Gentile converts entering mixed Jewish‑Gentile congregations, not a new miniature law code.
Paul explicitly teaches that believers are not under the Law of Moses (Rom 6:14; Gal 3:25), yet he also teaches that the moral content of the law is fulfilled in those who walk by the Spirit (Rom 8:4) and that the commandments are summed up in love (Rom 13:8–10). Jesus’ statements about keeping His commandments refer to His own teaching, not the Sinai covenant.
Therefore: Levib is right that Christians are not bound to the Mosaic system, but the rebuttal is right that Acts 15 does not abolish the moral law.
The apostles remove the covenantal yoke, not the ethical substance.
The NT pattern is simple: no Mosaic covenant for Gentiles, no circumcision, no Sinai yoke; full obedience to Christ’s commands, and the moral law fulfilled by the Spirit, not imposed by Moses.

This presents a different difficulty. Contrary to the Scribes and Pharisees who were perfect under the Law and neither loved God nor other people; the law did not require Jesus to go to the cross. The Holy Spirit directs us to go beyond what is written to fulfill our individual purpose for God.

Many serious problems with what you have written, and the first one is that you are presenting church tradition as though it were Scripture. You said that the “Lord’s Day” was a first-century church practice passed down by tradition, but tradition is not proof of what the apostles taught. You yourself admitted that the only Scripture you can point to is Revelation 1:10. That verse does not say Sunday. It does not say the first day of the week. It does not say that the Sabbath was changed. It simply says:

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet. (Revelation 1:10)

If Scripture does not tell us that “the Lord’s Day” means Sunday, then you cannot make the text say something it does not say. The fact that you were taught this orally forty years ago does not turn that teaching into Scripture. We are supposed to test teachings by the Word of God, not use tradition to establish doctrine.

Now you bring up Acts 15:24 and claim that the apostles were saying that they did not teach keeping the Law. But that is not what the passage says. Read the whole matter carefully. The controversy was about Gentiles being told that they had to be circumcised and keep the Law of Moses in order to be saved. The apostles rejected that teaching. They did not announce that the Ten Commandments had been abolished.

Acts 15:24 says: Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, “You must be circumcised and keep the law”—to whom we gave no such commandment

Notice exactly what the apostles rejected: circumcision and the claim that Gentiles had to take upon themselves the Law of Moses as a requirement for salvation. You have taken that statement and turned it into “therefore the Sabbath commandment no longer exists.” Acts 15:24 never says that.

And you ask, “Was the Sabbath not part of the Law?”

Yes, the Sabbath IS part of the Ten Commandments. But here is where the distinction you are missing becomes very important. The Bible itself distinguishes the Ten Commandments from the other statutes and judgments given through Moses.

God spoke the Ten Commandments directly to Israel, wrote them on tablets of stone, and placed those tablets in the ark. Scripture says: And He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, that is, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone. (Deuteronomy 4:13)

The Sabbath is the fourth commandment. So if you claim that the Sabbath commandment was abolished or changed, then you need to show the Scripture where God abolished or changed it.

You cannot simply point to Acts 15:24 and pretend that verse says it. And then you say, “Jesus did not observe the Sabbath as understood by the Jews.” That statement actually proves the opposite of what you are trying to prove.

Jesus did not reject the Sabbath. He rejected the man-made traditions and false interpretations that the religious leaders had added to it.

Jesus said: The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.(Mark 2:27–28) Notice what Jesus did not say. He did not say, “The Sabbath was made for the Jews only.” He did not say, “The Sabbath is now abolished.” He did not say, “The first day of the week has replaced the seventh day.” men said that and is is NOT based on ANY scripture but only traditions of these same men.

He called Himself Lord of the Sabbath. And Luke tells us what Jesus actually did:

So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. (Luke 4:16)

That was Jesus' custom. He followed the sabbath command and explained it further.

So we have a very simple question: are we going to believe what Jesus actually did and taught, or are we going to replace His words with a tradition that says Sunday became the Lord's Day?

Jesus also said:

If you love Me, keep My commandments. (John 14:15)

And: If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. (John 15:10)

Jesus did not teach His disciples that obedience to God's commandments was now meaningless. He taught them to keep His commandments, all of them all he taught and He Himself said that He had kept His Father's commandments.

You also mention Colossians 2:16 as though it settles the matter. But even if someone wants to use that passage, they still have to prove what “sabbath days” means in its context. They cannot simply assume that every reference to a Sabbath means the fourth commandment and then declare that commandment abolished. there were many Sabbaths in the old testament

But I will leave that argument aside for now because we do not even need to go there. Jesus' own words already give us the foundation we need.

The bigger problem here is the method being used. You are saying, “I was taught this tradition,” then pointing to a verse that does not actually say what you claim it says, and then declaring that anyone who disagrees is twisting Scripture and that is backwards.

The proper question is not, “What did I hear in church forty years ago?” The proper question is, “What did Jesus and His apostles actually teach?”

And when we put Jesus' words first, as we should, we find no statement from Him saying that the seventh-day Sabbath was abolished and replaced by Sunday.

There is no verse in Revelation 1:10 saying Sunday.

There is no verse in Acts 15:24 saying the Sabbath was abolished.

There is no statement from Jesus saying the fourth commandment was cancelled.

And there is certainly no command from Jesus saying, “Keep the first day instead.”

I would suggest that we all do write about what is actually written in scripture rather than reading later church tor oral tradition back into the text.

If you can show me one statement from Jesus saying that the Sabbath commandment was abolished, changed to another day, or replaced by Sunday, then present it. Until then, your interpretation does not make it Scripture.

and NO I am not a legalist or SDA but simply follow what Jesus commanded.

Rev 1:10 says specifically that John was "in the spirit on the LORD'S Day". Where does it say Sunday or the 1st day of the week?
It does not. You are adding human supposition into a text that does not say what you want it to say.
This is expressly forbidden in Rev 22:18-19

As per the rest of your post; You don't seem to realize the 10 commandments (written by God's own finger on stones and placed inside the ark of the covenant) and the Mosaic (Levitical) laws (written by Moses in a book and placed next to the ark of the covenant, NOT on the inside - AKA handwriting of ordinances BTW) were 2 separate laws.
A sabbath day was ANY day of rest from manual labors due to a national holiday. Not just the 7th day of the week.

As Christians we do not kill animals for the redemption of sin. That was in the Mosaic Law and was nailed to the cross.

But God's 10 commandment law still stands, for all people of all times.

No. The Ten Commandments were not “summarized” in the sense that they were reduced to two commandments. Your own quotation of Jesus does not say that.

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22:37–40)

Hang on does not mean replace.

Jesus then proved exactly what He meant. When asked how to have eternal life, He said:

If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. (Matthew 19:17)

He then named specific commandments: do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honour your father and mother. (Matthew 19:18–19)

So Jesus did not say, “The commandments are now reduced to two.” He taught love and obedience.

Jesus made this even clearer: If ye love me, keep my commandments. (John 14:15) and, He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me. (John 14:21)

Therefore your argument actually proves the opposite of what you claim. Love fulfills the commandments; it does not erase them.

Jesus also said: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (Matthew 5:17)

And: Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:19)

So where did Jesus say that the Ten Commandments were reduced to two? Where did He cancel the Sabbath? Where did He replace the seventh day with Sunday?

Nowhere.

You also appeal to the Holy Spirit as though He gives Christians freedom to go beyond what is written and change God's commands. Jesus said the opposite: He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14:26)

The Holy Spirit does not contradict Jesus.

And this warning from Jesus is especially relevant:" For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. (Mark 7:8-9)

That is the very thing we must avoid. We cannot take a human interpretation and then use “love” or “the Spirit” to make Scripture say something Jesus never said.

Love God. Love your neighbour. Keep the commandments. Jesus taught all three.

Hebrews 4:9-10 - There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

Matthew 11:29-30 - Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Not true. Long before there was an RCC the Apostles were having meetings on Sunday

Jesus was raised from the dead on Sunday which is Pentecost (Mark 16:2, Luke 24:1, John 20:1)

We see in Acts chapter 2 that the first church service was on Sunday (the day of Pentecost they were all with one accord in one place and received the outpouring of the Holy Ghost). And, the first public evangelism meeting was also held on Sunday out in the street after the Holy Ghost was poured out in the upper room (Acts 2:14-36)

Acts 20:7 - The first day of the week, the Apostles came together to break bread

1 Corinthians 16:2 - Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him

Colossians 2:16,17 - Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
