Golden Text:  “…We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give it you:” (Numbers 10:290

This Bible Lesson inspires and comforts with the gift of God’s grace.  Through thoughtful treatment of several familiar Bible stories, it leads us through example after example of God’s all-powerful, ever-presence in our lives.

“And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea:  (Exodus 13: 27, 18)

And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:” (Exodus 13:21)

“And the children of Israel took their journey out of the wilderness of Sinai;” (Numbers 10:12)

“As the children of Israel were guided triumphantly through the Red Sea, the dark ebbing and flowing tides of human fear, — as they were led through the wilderness, walking wearily through the great desert of human hopes, and anticipating the promised joy, — so shall the spiritual idea guide all right desires in their passage from sense to Soul, from a material sense of existence to the spiritual, up to the glory prepared for them who love God.”  (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 566: 1-9.)

About the Bible Lesson

The weekly Bible Lesson is read and studied daily by students of Christian Science around the world, and is read on Sundays in Christian Science churches everywhere.

While our Bellingham church has temporarily suspended Sunday services, Sunday School and Wednesday testimony meetings in order to honor Washington State’s Phase 2 Covid-19 guidance, the Bible Lesson continues to be read and studied, bringing the healing blessings of church to our members every day.

Golden Text:  “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” (John 4:35)

This powerful Bible Lesson makes clear the importance of understanding spiritual causation, in every aspect of our lives — our health, our identify, our institutions,  the natural world, and every aspect of life.

“I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me…. Thus with the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.” (Isaiah 45: 5, 11)

“The creative Principle — Life, Truth, and Love — is God.  The universe reflects God. 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.  These ideas range from the infinitesimal to infinity, and the highest ideas are the sons and daughters of God.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 502:27.)

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.
