"...blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!"

(James 3:10)

The subject of "Unreality" is a blessing that shows what we do not owe allegiance to. Science and Health states: "Everything good or worthy, God made. Whatever is valueless or baneful, He did not make, — hence its unreality." There is no curse on man. There is never a requirement for evil, and understanding this truth brings healing.

"Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any."

(Isaiah 44:8)

What are fears made of? The attached article from The Christian Science Sentinel shows how fears are made of nothing. When fear seems to attack as pain and even as possible death, we can reject it as only the belief that God, Love, could be absent or powerless to keep us safe and sound. Click the image for more.

"...I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."

(Jeremiah 29:11)

The reality of all existence is that Truth is real, absolute, and infinite. In Christian Science, Truth is a name for God, and Mary Baker Eddy writes in Science and Health (page 207): "The spiritual reality is the scientific fact in all things." Each individual can learn and understand the reality of being and how it brings joy and healing in every circumstance. Click the image for more.

"All of God’s creatures, moving in the harmony of Science, are harmless, useful, indestructible."
(Science and Health page 514)

Whether we are dealing with a rambunctious puppy, caring for a pet who is an old friend, or faced with a wild animal, we can always remember that God has given us dominion over all His creatures. As stated in Genesis, we know that they are all very good! Mrs. Eddy provides the spiritual interpretation of this verse from Genesis in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures on page 514, "All of God’s creatures, moving in the harmony of Science, are harmless, useful, indestructible."

"...present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."

(Romans 12:1)

To know yourself as God knows you is to give your consent to knowing only your true identity as the creation of Spirit. Our sermon on "Matter" presents Goliath as the belief in, or illusion of, the supremacy of matter. David feared it not and through the power of Spirit proved its nothingness.

"Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us?”
(Malachi 2:10)

What do we really owe our brother, sister, family - all mankind? Are we responsible for them? In what ways? The article below, "The Brother's Keeper," from the March, 1905 Christian Science Journal, has some great answers. Based squarely on our Pastor -- the Bible, and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures -- the article makes plain exactly what our duties are. Click the image for more.

"Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Click to open the research content...the kingdom of God is within you."

(Luke 12:32;17:21)

The world's search for true substance mistakenly looks to material properties to explain it. These material properties are finite and limited, and so the nature of substance is likewise finite and limited. The Bible tells us, "I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it:" (Ecclesiastes 3:14). Click the image for more.

"The depth, breadth, height, might, majesty, and glory of infinite Love fill all space. That is enough!”
(SH 520:3–5)

Do you sometimes feel like you're not making progress in your healing prayer? Like something is blocking healing or resolution? God is the only power, and can easily break through any seeming resistance to the expression of harmony. Click the image for more.

"...I have a goodly heritage."

(Psalm 16:6)

The curses of sin, disease, and death do not belong to God's man. From our Responsive Reading: "Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope." The real man is not material, is not created by chance or an anthropomorphic god. Man is the image of infinite Mind and is governed by this Mind. Click the image for more.

"Harmony in man is as beautiful as in music, and discord is unnatural, unreal.”
(SH 304:20)

We are often faced with discord in our life. Perhaps we are mired in sin, or feeling the effects of someone else who seems to be sinning against us. Maybe we are experiencing pain or sickness, or are faced with death. How do we pray? Can we really reject the reality of discord when it is so aggressively real to us? How did Jesus react when presented with discord? Click the image for more.

"...he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

(II Peter 1:17)

The purpose of Jesus' life is not to be worshipped from afar as some untouchable ideal. Science and Health (page 482) says: "Jesus was the highest human concept of the perfect man." He was the way-shower, demonstrating the qualities and abilities of man that all can understand and prove. Click the image for more.

"...Your Father knows what you need even before you ask."

(Matthew 6:8)

The Bible makes plain the fact that God is omniscient. He knows all and thus is divine Mind. So when we pray, we do not pass on information that God does not already possess. Science and Health tells us on page 370, "To be immortal, we must forsake the mortal sense of things, turn from the lie of false belief to Truth, and gather the facts of being from the divine Mind."

"O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee."
(Psalm 25:20)

The human mind struggles with the curse of loneliness -- of abandonment and helplessness. The curse is spelled out in the allegory of Adam and Eve. Christian Science teaches that the curse is null and void, and that it can be demonstrated as nothingness through spiritual healing and holiness. Click the image for more.

"The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart:"

(Psalm 19:7,8)

What qualities do you think of when you hear the word Soul? The prophet Micah mentions justice, mercy, and humility. Soul is a name for God. Soul is also Spirit, so it is not a corporeal being within man's body. Soul, God, expresses itself through man. Mrs. Eddy tells us that, "The Science of being reveals man as perfect, even as the Father is perfect..." Click the image for more.

“If God, the All-in-all, be the creator of the spiritual universe, including man, then everything entitled to a classification as truth, or Science, must be comprised in a knowledge or understanding of God, for there can be nothing beyond illimitable divinity.”

(Science and Health, page 127)

How do we pray for healing? Do we start with the problem, and ask God to heal us? Or do we start with God, to learn who we already are? Christian Science teaches us to always start with God. Come hear some more ideas on this topic at our weekly testimony meeting Wednesday at 7:30 pm. You'll leave uplifted and healed, and with fresh impetus to think rightly. Click the image for more.

"God has spoken plainly, and I have heard it many times: Power, O God, belongs to you;"

(Psalm 62:11)

"The power of Spirit over the flesh" (Science and Health page 316) is the great lesson of Christian Science. Our sermon on Spirit explains how the power of Spirit does not confer any power to the flesh, or matter, but shows it to be nothing. Jesus taught Spirit through parables, such as the woman with the yeast. Click the image for more.

“To begin rightly is to end rightly.”

(Science and Health, page 262)

Learning about Christian Science is one thing, but how do we practically apply it to our lives? The article below has some great suggestions. And one of them is to just start. Begin right where you are. Come listen to further inspiration and instruction on how to get started Wednesday at 7:30. Click the image for more.

"God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him."

(I John 4:16)

It is plain that, as the Bible teaches, "We love him, because he first loved us" (I John 4:19). But it does not end there. Man is God's image and likeness, and so through this reflection of all Godlike qualities we love each other. The "longing to be better and holier" (Science and Health page 4) leads us to this demonstration of divine, all-powerful Love. Click the image for more.

“Banish the belief that you can possibly entertain a single intruding pain which cannot be ruled out by the might of Mind, and in this way you can prevent the development of pain in the body.”

(Science and Health page 391)

What is the real truth about pain? What causes it? What cures it? Can we only hope to "manage" pain? Or can we find complete freedom from it? Join us Wednesday at 7:30 pm to hear answers from our pastor, the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy. Click the image for more.

"…Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"

(Genesis 18:25)

Is there such thing as a “capital-T” Truth? In Christian Science, Truth is a synonym for God. Come hear our sermon this Sunday on Truth. Learn how Truth is the very basis of your being, and how discovering this fact can heal and transform your life. “Christ is the ideal Truth, that comes to heal sickness and sin through Christian Science, and attributes all power to God.” (Science and Health page 473) Click the image for more.

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house [the consciousness] of [LOVE] for ever.”
(Science and Health page 578)

What does it mean to "dwell in the house of the Lord?" How do we find this house, and how do we stay there forever? Join us Wednesday at 7:30 to hear from our pastor on this topic. Click the image for more.

"…behold, all things are become new."

(II Corinthians 5:17)

Are you satisfied with your life? This week’s sermon is titled “Life.” “The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.” (Psalm 34:22) A life of getting to know God and letting Him heal, restore, and sustain you is a life of fulfillment and progress. “The great spiritual fact must be brought out that man is, not shall be, perfect and immortal.” (Science and Health page 428) Come join us this Sunday and learn more about a satisfied, uplifted life.

“He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

(Ps. 107:20)

Join us Wednesday at 7:30 pm to join together in prayer for those affected by the wildfires in California. Over the last several days, the Christian Science Publishing Society has sent out links to a number of articles addressing this topic. Click the image for more.

"…every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord."

(Leviticus 27:28)

Twice each year the Christian Science church holds a special service when the sermon subject is "Sacrament." It puts special focus on individual consecration to Christ, Truth. When Jesus first called his disciples, they did not leave all to follow some random person; they first discerned the presence of the Christ and then followed it. That is the same calling for us, today. Click the image for more.

“…thy gentleness hath made me great.”
(Psalm 18:35)

Gentleness. In the middle of our rushed and busy lives, do we make time to be gentle with ourselves and others? Join us Wednesday at 7:30 pm to explore this idea. Click the image for more.

"Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else."

(Deuteronomy 4:39)

What does it mean to know God? It begins by knowing God as infinite Spirit. God is divine Mind and Love. Mary Baker Eddy states: "Material sense never helps mortals to understand Spirit, God. Through spiritual sense only, man comprehends and loves Deity." Click the image for more.

"…thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.”

(Isa. 30:21 thine)

Happy New Year to all! What will we do in this New Year? Starting with God is always good, and listening to His guidance and direction will keep us on the right track. Join us Wednesday at 7:30 pm to celebrate together. Click the image for more.

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

(James 1:17)

This sermon on “Christian Science” will be delivered on the Sunday after Christmas, and is studied during Christmas week. Science and Health describes the relationship of Christmas to Christian Science: “When a new spiritual idea is borne to earth, the prophetic Scripture of Isaiah is renewedly fulfilled: ‘Unto us a child is born, . . . and his name shall be called Wonderful.’” Click the image for more.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to-day, and for ever.
(Heb. 13:8)

Share with your Christian Science family what Christ means to you and how it has been a blessing in your life. Let's rejoice with each that "The Christ is Here!" Click the link for more.

"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.
