Aug. 8-14: “Soul”

August 8, 2022

Aug. 8-14: “Soul.”

Golden Text:  “Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications:. . . for I lift up my soul unto thee.” (Psalms 143:1, 2)

This Bible Lesson dials right into the deep yearning to see and experience God’s great love and care for us all.  It shows us how pure, uplifted desire — prayer — can lead us to the healing ever-presence of God, Divine Love.

“Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.  I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.  If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:  But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.  Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.” (Psalms 66: 16-20)

“Spiritual sense, contradicting the material senses, involves intuition, hope, faith, understanding, fruition, reality.”

“Spiritual ideas lead up to their divine origin, God, and to the spiritual sense of being.”  (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 298:  13-15, 22)

This Week’s Bible Lesson

Aug. 15-21: “Mind.”

Golden Text:  “The Lord hath been mindful of us: he will bless us;” (Psalms 115:12)

This inspiring Bible Lesson provides clear, uplifting examples of the great blessings of understanding God as Divine Mind; and of the healing and comfort that we can experience when we set aside human rationalizing and instead focus on “the enduring, the good and the true” of God, Mind.  (See below, for full quote of this passage from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discover and Founder of Christian Science.)

“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.    . . the God of peace shall be with you.” (Phillipians 4: 7-9)

“Hold thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true, and you will bring these into your experience proportionably to their occupancy of your thoughts.”  (S&H by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 261:4)

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.
