June 6-12: “God the Preserver of Man”

June 6-12: “God the Preserver of Man.”

Golden Text:  “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee:” (Psalms 55:22)

This beautiful Bible Lesson shows us how trust in God, Divine Love, and gratitude for God’s ever-presence, helps us recognize the “daily bread” that feeds, supports and preserves us — as referenced in the Lord’s Prayer (“Give us this day, our daily bread.”).

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”  (Proverbs 3: 5, 6)

“Step by step will those who trust Him find that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 444:10)

Golden Text:  “. . thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.” (Psalms 86:10)

This Bible Lesson comes as a spiritual balm for anyone feeling feeling overwhelmed by current conflicts or events, close to home or around the world.   It draws us back to the very clear, basic truth that God, Spirit, Divine Love, is in fact the ONLY cause, the ONLY creator.

“I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:  That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else….Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it.”(Isaiah 45: 5, 6, 8)

“Creator. Spirit; Mind; intelligence; the animating divine Principle of all that is real and good; self-existent Life, Truth, and Love; that which is perfect and eternal; the opposite of matter and evil, which have no Principle; God, who made all that was made and could not create an atom or an element the opposite of Himself.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 583:20)

May 23-29: “Ancient and Modern Necromancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced”

May 23-29: “Ancient and Modern Necromancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced.”

Golden Text:  “. . . the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places;

. . . And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.” (Isaiah 51: 3; 25: 7)

This Bible Lesson provides firm, clear instruction on the importance of being alert to false claims of life, truth, identity, of every type.  It shows us the power of seeing and acknowledging only the Life, Truth, Principle that is God, all-powerful, all-knowing, governing all.

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:  That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days:” (Deuteronomy 30: 19-20)

“Divine Science, the Word of God, saith to the darkness upon the face of error, “God is All-in-all,” and the light of ever-present Love illumines the universe.

“God creates neither erring thought, mortal life, mutable truth, nor variable love.

“God, Spirit, dwelling in infinite light and harmony from which emanates the true idea, is never reflected by aught but the good.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 103: 18-23)

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.
