Are you referring to "Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy" (Jewish and Protestant) or "Honor thy Mother and Father" (Roman and Lutheran)?
Either way, Jesus told us, "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." (Matt 22:37-40, KJV)

It is a sin to break any of the 613 or so Laws in the Torah, including the Annual Sabbaths as well as the Weekly Sabbath .
The same reasoning Adventist apply to the 7th Day also apply to the other Sabbaths.

At least one story in Numbers 15:32-36 where someone was stoned to death for breaking the Sabbath.
As I recall, there were few exceptions to the Sabbath rule (The only commandment there were exceptions to). I'm not going to look them all up, but as I recall they included:
1) engaging in combat during times of war;
2) delivering a child;
3) performing a circumcision;
4) priests performing their priestly duties;
5) some household duties;
6) professions where someone needed to be working seven days a week (doctors, soldiers, etc...); these people were still required to take at least one day off to serve as their "Sabbath"
Sabbath didn't just apply to the seventh day of the week; there was also the Sabbath year, where fields could not be planted and all slaves must be freed.
Christianity no longer observes the Sabbath requirement, primarily because it has determined Sunday (the day of Christ's resurrection) to be its holy day rather than Saturday (the Jewish Sabbath).

Depends if your proverbial ox is in the ditch or not; Luke 14:5. Some people (doctors, firemen, soldiers) are duty bound to work on Sabbath days. However, it is still in their medical best interest to take at least one day off a week.

It is a sin to break any and all commandments. As humans it is in our nature to sin. We do it every day in thought, word and deed. Thank God he sent his Son Jesus to die for our sins, so that we may be forgiven of the as long as we believe on Him.

Of course it is a sin to break it and any of the other commandments. This is a good topic for your youth group or pastor.
