This Week’s Bible Lesson

Jan. 30-Feb. 5: “Spirit.”

Golden Text:  “. . . if you plant in the field of the Spirit, from the Spirit you will gather the harvest of eternal life.” (Galatians 6:8)

This Bible Lesson helps us experience the powerful healing effect of understanding God as Spirit (a synonym for God).  And further, the peace, joy and freedom of knowing ourselves, God’s “offspring” or “children,” as spiritual, not material.

“…the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”. (John 4: 23, 24)

“The starting-point of divine Science is that God, Spirit, is All-in-all, and that there is no other might nor Mind, — that God is Love, and therefore He is divine Principle.

“To grasp the reality and order of being in its Science, you must begin by reckoning God as the divine Principle of all that really is. Spirit, Life, Truth, Love, combine as one, — and are the Scriptural names for God.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 275:6-14)

Lectures in Our Area

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.
