Sunday Sermon - Is the Universe, Including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?

"With God all things are possible."

(Matthew 19:26)

It may seem as though the world of science has given up on God as the cause of all that exists. But while many physicists resist the idea of divine creation, others point to evidence in favor of it. Mary Baker Eddy puts it plainly: “God creates and governs the universe, including man. The universe is filled with spiritual ideas, which He evolves, and they are obedient to the Mind that makes them.” Come join us for this healing and uplifting service.

"…the battle is not yours, but God’s."

(I Chronicles 20:15)

Do you feel your health is endangered? Do you feel uncertain about world events and mankind’s future? The Bible says, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?…Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.” Our sermon this week shows you how you never need fear. But more than that, it shows you that Christian Science establishes your health and safety as always under the harmonious control of divine Mind. Come join us this week.

Sunday Sermon - God the Only Cause and Creator

"O Lord God, thou hast only begun to show thy servant thy greatness and thy mighty hand; for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as thine?"

(Deuteronomy 3:24)

Our sermon this week sets forth the one great fact of existence, that God is All-in-all. But it doesn’t stop there. Man as God’s image and likeness does not exist within a realm of matter where life has a beginning and death is inevitable. The act of spiritual healing is the demonstration of man’s spiritual reality, of God’s power to protect man as His own expression. Click the image for more.

"…there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known."

(Luke 12:2)

The subject for this week — Ancient and Modern Necromancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced — is called “animal magnetism” or “hypnotism” by Mary Baker Eddy. It refers to a popular but discredited 18th-century theory that Mrs. Eddy condemns as having no basis in absolute divine Science or Truth. What relevance does it have for today? Much! It is an important lesson in Christian Science. Click the image for more.

Sunday Sermon - Substance

“It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:. . . O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.”

(Psalm 92:1,5)

The word substance refers to whatever is real, tangible, and unimpeachable. How do we identify substance? The Bible makes it clear that substance is spiritual, not material. We read in Hebrews, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Come to our service on Sunday and learn to see how substance exists today in your own life, and how to demonstrate the substance of Spirit in every moment.
