about our beliefs, pleases speak to Pastor.

Epistle: Acts 4:8-13

8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them,

”Rulers of the people and elders, 9if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by

what means this man has been healed, 10let it be known to

all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead---by him this man is standing before

you well. 11This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by

you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.

12And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must

be saved.”

13Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and

John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common

men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they

had been with Jesus.

Holy Gospel: Mark 8:27-35

27And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages

of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” 28And they told him,

“John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of

the prophets.” 29And he asked them, ”But who do you say

that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.” 30And

he strictly charged them to tell no one about him.

31And he began to teach them that the Son of Man

must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32And he said this plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but

on the things of man.”

34And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.
