Sunday Sermon - Everlasting Punishment

  • First Church of Christ, Scientist, Richardson (map)

“Wash you, make you clean;”
(Isaiah 1:16)

To be morally pure is important. This is what Isaiah means when he says, "Wash you, make you clean." It is also important not to live a life of guilt. Jesus showed us the way to live this life. It begins by acknowledging God, Spirit, as the source of man's nature and essence. Through this we learn that, even if we feel the weight of sin, the Science of our true being cleanses our thoughts. Click the image for more.

Stories in the Bible of resurrecting the dead — such as the young man Eutychus who fell to his death — demonstrate the fact in divine Science that death is unreal and can be overcome. Mrs. Eddy states in our sermon: “If you or I should appear to die, we should not be dead.” Come join us for this uplifting message! Click the image for more.

“What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.”
(Nahum 1:9)

(No and Yes, page 2)

"Man is never sick, because God is never sick; and man is God's image and likeness, the divine manifestation of His presence and power. Man, your true selfhood and mine, is fixed in its divine Principle and enjoys a natural immunity to sin, sickness, and death. This statement cannot be reversed." Click the image for more.

"...the kingdom is the Lord’s: and he is the governor among the nations."
(Psalm 22:28)

Mind governs all. This is a central fact of Christian Science. One infinite Mind causes, creates, and governs man and all existence. When Solomon asked God for wisdom, he acknowledged only one source of intelligence and power. This was nearly three thousand years ago but the same thing applies today: Turn to God as Mind, and you will see how man reflects these very qualities of wisdom, life, and light.

"Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, my soul! Click to open the research content...I will sing to my God all my life."
(Psalm 146:1,2)

In Soul, we feel God's presence. In Soul, we see what is true, and are led to the discovery and demonstration of what is real and good. Man, as God's image, every quality of God is seen in man's existence. Soul is the expression of this perfection, an awareness of God's goodness and healing power. As Science and Health puts it: "God is infinite, the only Life, substance, Spirit, or Soul, the only intelligence of the universe, including man." Click the image for more.

"Only through radical reliance on Truth can scientific healing power be realized."
(Science and Health, page 167)

It is so easy in this day and age to turn to material remedies, to follow the rules of diet, exercise, hygiene. Sometimes the temptations are subtle, and we don't even realize where we are putting our faith.

"Be still, and know that I am God:"
(Psalm 46:10)

Spirit is all. Christian Science teaches that matter is the supposed opposite of Spirit, and thus has no real existence. Spirit is seen in the knowledge of ourselves as God's children. It is seen in feeling God's presence in every human situation; in the ability to embrace what is good and reject evil; in the healing of disease. Click the image for more.

"...the God of love and peace shall be with you."
(II Corinthians 13:11)

God's love for man, His own image, is a fact. The Bible teaches us that God is Love, and this teaching is in this week's Lesson-Sermon. The mission of Jesus was to demonstrate the scope and power of God's love, in healing disease and destroying sin. Mary Baker says in Science and Health: "God is Love. Can we ask Him to be more?" We cannot, for divine Love is the ultimate of existence, health, and perfection. Click the image for more.
