“Ancient and Modern Necromancy, Alias Mesmerism & Hypnotism, Denounced”

November 25, 2019

“Ancient and Modern Necromancy, Alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced.”

Golden Text:  “Your right hand, LORD, is awesome in power; . . .In majestic triumph you overthrow your foes;” (Exodus 15: 6,7)

This powerful Bible Lesson gives us the tools to see God, Good, as the one and only influence in our lives — and to see through the false, mesmeric, seemingly hypnotic belief in life in matter

“Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.” (Psalms 31:24)

“For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?” (Isaiah 14:27)

“Where the spirit of God is, and there is no place where God is not, evil becomes nothing, — the opposite of the something of Spirit.”

“As vapor melts before the sun, so evil would vanish before the reality of good. One must hide the other. How important, then, to choose good as the reality! Man is tributary to God, Spirit, and to nothing else. God’s being is infinity, freedom, harmony, and boundless bliss.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, p.480: 2-5, 31-4.)

Dec. 9-15: “God the Preserver of Man.”

Golden Text: “You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.” (Psalms 32:7

This beautiful Bible Lesson examines the many, varied ways in which God, Divine Love, cares for and preserves mankind and all creation.

“The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand…. the Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.” (Psalms 121: 5, 7)

“There is but one creator and one creation.  This creation consists of the unfolding of spiritual ideas and their identities, which are embraced in the infinite Mind and forever reflected.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 502:29-3)

“In divine Science, where prayers are mental, all may avail themselves of God as ‘a very present help in trouble.'” (Science and Health, p. 12:31-1)

You can read this Bible Lesson here, or by visiting our Reading Room.

You and your family are also welcome to join us at 10:00 a.m. Sunday, where you can hear this powerful lesson read, along with hymns and a sacred solo.  Your children are always welcome in our Sunday School, where they will love discussing the Bible stories contained in the Lesson  and related passages from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health.  Your smaller children will receive loving care in our Children’s Room.

Welcome to First Church of Christ, Scientist, Bellingham, WA

Have you ever wondered if there really is a God, one who is willing or able to play a role in your life?

You can find the answers you yearn for, and the loving, caring God that Christ Jesus called "Father."  Christian Science shows that feeling the peace of God's loving, all-powerful presence is possible now. It shows us that the understanding of God that heals all our challenges is not a secret recipe available only in Biblical times, but a demonstrable science that all can practice and use in daily life.

Our church is one of the many worldwide branches of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, established in Boston, Massachusetts in 1879 by Mary Baker Eddy.
