Aren't we supposed to still be worshipping God on a Saturday which is the Sabbath instead as we are still supposed to keep the 10 commandments no? Or did something change when Jesus came?

First you need to know that the Bible says it no longer matters which day of the week we worship on. The New Testament tells us that Christians should not judge one another about which day of the week worship occurs on.
Second, as early as Act chapter 20 and verse 7 we read in the Bible that the early church met on the first day of the week which would be Sunday.

They aren't really celebrating the Sabbath, which has always been on Saturday. What they are celebrating on Sunday is the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, which has nothing to do with the Sabbath.
The Sabbath was originally just a day of rest. It became convenient to hold religious services on that day, since no one was busy. This is how the word "Sabbath" began to be associated with the day of worship. It is somewhat common for Catholics (and most other Christians) use the word "Sabbath" for Sunday, but it's not really correct.

We see in the Acts of the Apostles that they met both on Saturdays and Sundays but Sundays became the main day to commemorate the Lord's Resurrection which we consider the Christian Sabbath and the reason for our beliefs and salvation . This does by no means negate our obligation to obey the commandments for by obeying the third commandment we attend Liturgy on the Christian Sabbath which goes from sunset on Saturday night to sunset on Sunday night like the Jews from Friday night to Saturday night at sunset.

The Bible was written for the saved and unsaved. Before Jesus came we followed the sabbath. We still follow the Ten commandments because we want to be like God but because God died and rose on Sunday we Worship God on Sunday.
Lots of things changed after Jesus came.
p.s. Pastor Art is right.

The Pope or Constantine thought themselves better than God and took it upon them selves to attempt to change God's laws...
they do no have the authority to change the day of worship or the 4th commandment...over time man's laws trample over the Law's of God..
remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy...
the Resurrection did not create a new worship day...
the laws nailed to the cross did not create a new worship day...the Sabbath has never changed....

Jesus was resurected on Sunday since then Christians began worshiping on this day. In remembrace of His antonement and resurrection See Acts 20:7 & 1Corinthians 16:2
Keep this day holy!

We worship on Sunday, because it is the first day of the week--the day Christ arose from the grave.
In the book of Acts the apostles set the pattern by coming together to worship and to partake of the Lord's Supper on the first day of the week. (Acts 20:7)

The practice of worshipping on Sunday was taken from Roman paganism. The worshippers of Mithra were the original ones who instituted this. As the Romans tried to meld the different beliefs so that people would get along, they made this 'tweak' to the Christian belief system. But you are correct, according to the Bible, it should be Saturday. They started this practice around 300 CE

We are to worship God in spirit and in truth. And the Sabbath day of rest is from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown not Sundays.

Yes, Saturday is the Scriptural Sabbath. Constantine changed it, despite Christians claiming it was done by the Apostles.
