“The Lord said, ‘You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an idol or a likeness of anything in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God…’ (Exodus 20:3-5). People, come to your senses! The Georgians have always been Christians! So why are you bowing down before idols? Jesus Christ died and rose again… But your cast idols will never be resurrected. Even during their life they were dead…”

The Scripture Readings

1 Corinthians 15:58-16:3

8

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

1

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:

2

On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.

3

And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem.

Luke 7:2-10

2

And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die.

3

So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant.

4

And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving,

5

for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue.

6

Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof.

7

Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8

For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.

9

When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”

10

And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well who had been sick.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 Departed

13

But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.

14

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

15

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.

16

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

17

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

John 5:24-30 Departed

24

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

25

Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

26

For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,

27

and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.

28

Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice

29

and come forth-those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

30

I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
