What is the Sabbath and should we worship on that day today?
Sabbath means 'seventh'.  Exodus 20:10  The Sabbath was the day God rested from creation.  Genesis 2:2  The Sabbath was the fourth commandment of the Ten Commandments Exodus 20:8-11 given to the Israelites.  They were to keep the 7th day of the week holy and do no work.  They were obligated to keep it every week, not just a few times a year.  It was not a day of worship for the Jews.  They went to the tabernacle for that.  The Israelites are the only people commanded to keep the Sabbath, to set apart the 7th day of the week for holiness and rest.  It did not become the day for Christians to worship.  Christian worship was to take place 'on the first day of the week', Acts 20:7  I Cor 11:26  I Cor 16:2

What is Pentecost?
For the Jew, Pentecost was a festival on the 50th day after Passover, also called Feast of Weeks Lev 23:15,16
.  For the Christian Pentecost is the day on which the Holy Sprit was given to the apostles, Acts 2:1 who were promised this gift when Christ spoke to the eleven.  Acts 1: 4, 5

What is Passover?
Passover was a 7 day Jewish festival held in March or April, commemorating the slaying of the firstborn just before the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt (Exodus 12
), and was combined with the Feast of Unleavened Bread which commemorates the actual Exodus flight (Exodus 13: 3-16). 

What does 'undenominational' mean?
Not associated with a religious denomination.  Denominational churches are religious groups who have separated themselves away from the original church by adding to or taking away from the Bible and by following the creeds of man
.  The chart below might help show the differences between denominational and nondenominational worship.
