Dec. 5-11: “God the Preserver of Man”

Dec. 5-11: “God the Preserver of Man.

Golden Text:  “Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: . . . Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them.”  (Psalm 35: 1, 5)

This deeply thoughtful Bible Lesson doesn’t try to tell us that we will never have what seem to be challenges in our lives.  What it does is to provide us with powerful, inspiring examples that demonstrate the spiritual truth that God, the all-power, Divine Principle, is always present to guide, love and protect mankind and all creation.

“And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid:”  (Leviticus 26:6)

“The history of Christianity furnishes sublime proofs of the supporting influence and protecting power bestowed on man by his heavenly Father, omnipotent Mind, who gives man faith and understanding whereby to defend himself, not only from temptation, but from bodily suffering.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 387:27.)

Golden Text:  “I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.” (Psalms 9:1)

This beautiful Bible Lesson offers up an inspiring introduction to the Christmas season, by showing us when, where and how we can see and demonstrate that God, Good, is “the only Cause and Creator.”

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” (Revelation 4:11)

“There is but one primal cause. Therefore there can be no effect from any other cause, and there can be no reality in aught which does not proceed from this great and only cause.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 207:20-23.)

Nov. 21-27: “Ancient and Modern Necromancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced”

Nov. 21-27: “Ancient and Modern Necromancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced.”

Golden Text:  “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:21)

This powerful Bible Lesson reminds us of a great truth:  because God, Divine Truth, Life and Love, is all-powerful and ever-present, we have the right, and the ability, to challenge the false beliefs of evil (sickness, sin) at all times, and under all circumstances.

Nov. 14-20: “Soul and Body”

Nov. 14-20: “Soul and Body.”

Golden Text:  “My whole being praises the Lord.” (Psalms 34:2)

With this Bible Lesson, we have the opportunity to think deeply, truly and completely about identity, and what it means for each of us to be the full, holy, complete expression of God, Soul.

“Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.”  (Deuteronomy 6:1, 4,5)

“Question. — What are body and Soul?

“Answer. — Identity is the reflection of Spirit, the reflection in multifarious forms of the living Principle, Love. Soul is the substance, Life, and intelligence of man, which is individualized, but not in matter. Soul can never reflect anything inferior to Spirit.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy,  p. 477:19-25)

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.
