Golden Text:  “… Peace, be still.” (Mark 4:39)

At a time when chaos and uncertainty seem to swirl around us, this Bible Lesson brings comfort and serenity, assuring us that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalms 46:1)  No matter what!

“There is a river, the stream whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.  God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

“The Lord of hosts is with us;”  (Psalms 46: 4-5, 7)

“The understanding, even in a degree, of the divine All-power destroys fear, and plants the feet in the true path, — the path which leads to the house built without hands ‘eternal in the heavens.'”  (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy., p. 454:5-9.)

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.

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

You can read or hear it too, at this link, whenever you wish, every day.

You can also listen live and replay the Sunday church service and Wednesday testimony meeting held at The Mother Church of Christian Science, in Boston, MA.  Click here to access those services.

Golden Text:  “Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.” (Matthew 5:7)

This Bible Lesson helps us see that God, Divine Love, always cares for us, and preserves us as His dear children; but that we also face every day the imperative, divine command to love, preserve, and forgive and care for our brothers and sisters.

“…why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.  For as it is written, as I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.  So then everyone of us shall give account of himself to God.” (Romans 14:  10-12)

“The real man cannot depart from holiness, nor can God, by whom man is evolved, engender the capacity or freedom to sin.  A mortal sinner is not God’s man.  Mortals are the counterfeits of immortals.”  (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 475:28-1)

Golden Text:..”Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord:” (Isaiah 1:18)

This Bible Lesson shows us the importance of turning to God, Divine Mind, for our understanding of life and our own identity.  It urges us to cast away the claims of material life, and instead to listen to what God, Spirit, is telling us about our purpose and identity.

“For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.” (Isaiah 45:18)

“We must learn that evil is the awful deception and unreality of existence. Evil is not supreme; good is not helpless; nor are the so-called laws of matter primary, and the law of  Spirit secondary.  Without this lesson, we lose sight of the perfect Father, or the divine Principle of man.”  (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 207:9.)

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.
