"...the earth shall be filled with the glory of God,
As the waters cover the sea."
(Christian Science Hymnal 82)

As the featured article linked below states, "God's purpose is that the whole earth be filled with His beneficial glory, His allness and love. And, truly, nothing can oppose His marvelous plan of salvation for all mankind from error, from sin, sickness, suffering, and death." Click the image for more.

"...he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."
(John 3:21)

A cause is that which brings about an effect or a result. The Bible points to God as the one divine Cause of all effects. Correctly interpreted, both the Cause and the effect are not material, but spiritual. Spirit is that which never changes, is all substance, and is eternal. Click the image for more.

"...where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
(Matthew 6:21)

Join us Wednesday at 7:30 for another look at the Sermon on the Mount and the commitment to God that Jesus required.

"Thus saith the Lord my God;...I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered:"
(Zechariah 11:4; 13:2)

The Ten Commandments lay the foundation for worshipping one infinite God, and against the erroneous gods of a belief that error is as real as Truth. Science and Health refers to "the rightness of all divine action, as the emanation of divine Mind." Click the image for more.

“…Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!” (I Chronicles 16:10)

Thanksgiving Day is a day of gratitude, and for Christian Scientists gratitude is an important element in healing. We feel gratitude for good things in our lives. But gratitude is even more -- the spiritual sense of our universe as the expression of God, who is all good. Join us this Thanksgiving Day. Our service begins at 10:00 a.m. We hope you will invite your friends and family to be a part of our church family for this healing service.

"Pray without ceasing" (I Thessalonians 5:17)

Mary Baker Eddy knew the importance of prayer. She understood it as that which brings the individual into harmony, or alignment, with the Science of being. Prayer is so important, she made it the very first chapter in the Christian Science textbook.

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies..." (Matthew 5:44)

This week's readings explore the part of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus says - "Ye have heard it said...but I say unto you..." Join us Wednesday at 7:30 as we take a look at how Jesus raises thought from a simple command to a higher level of spiritual action. Click the image for more.

"O sing unto the Lord a new song..."
(Psalm 96:1)

In Christian Science, we learn the distinction between the mortal and the immortal. How do we know we are immortal? The sermon this week speaks of things like goodness and spirituality, traits that are immortal. Mrs. Eddy tells us: "Willingness to become as a little child and to leave the old for the new, renders thought receptive of the advanced idea" (Science and Health page 323).

"Ye are the light of the world." (Matthew 5:14)

We continue our study of Jesus' sermon on the mount with verses 13-20 of the 5th chapter of the gospel of Matthew. These verses include "Ye are the salt of the earth," "Ye are the light of the world," and "I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." Join us Wednesday at 7:30 as we explore these verses together.

"The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it."
(Proverbs 10:22)

"The blessing of the Lord" is seen as light, a term which includes joy and spiritual purity. This is the basis of man's being as the image, or outcome, of God, Spirit. Come join us to hear a spiritual interpretation of the creation account in Genesis. Click the image for more.

"Not human platitudes, but divine beatitudes, reflect the spiritual light and might which heal the sick."
(Science and Health, page 446)

Jesus' sermon on the mount begins with the Beatitudes. Join us Wednesday evening at 7:30 as we explore the beatitudes. Listen or share as members of the congregation share their own blessings received through their study of Christian Science. Click the image for more.

“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.

"Let us feel the divine energy of Spirit..."
(Science and Health, page 249)

What brings healing? Is it logical thinking and reasoning? Is it mind over matter? Is it mental arguments? Or is it a deep and certain sense of God's allness and omnipotent power? Join us Wednesday night at 7:30 as we explore this topic. Click the image for more.

“…there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:”
(Revelation 21:4)

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.

“There is but one real attraction, that of Spirit."
(Science and Health, page 102)

This week’s subject is avoiding distractions. Human thought would tell us there are more and more distractions that keep us from focusing on God. Let’s learn about avoiding those distractions at our Wednesday evening testimony meeting. Click the image for more

“O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Click to open the research content. . . as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.”
(Psalm 65:2,3)

When Jesus said, “I and my Father are one,” he did not mean it exclusive of anyone else. He taught that man in God’s likeness is always inseparable from God, and that each person can identify with this spiritual man. From Ephesians: “But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.” Click the image for more.

"Those seeds that fell on good ground are the people who listen to the message and keep it in good and honest hearts."
(Luke 8:15 Contemporary English Version)

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

Once we learn to distinguish reality from unreality through a spiritual sense native to each of us, it becomes clear that sin, disease, and death are products of a material sense and this are unreal. Through this understanding lived in daily life, healing takes place. Click the image for more.

“…hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?”
(I Corinthians 1:20)

Christian Science is the key to distinguishing truth from error, something from nothing, reality from unreality. Or sermon teaches how the material senses bear witness to unreality, but a spiritual sense —native to all — shows the reality of spiritual creation. Click the image for more.

"A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."
(Matthew 7:18)

"Divine Science, rising above physical theories, excludes matter, resolves things into thoughts, and replaces the objects of material sense with spiritual ideas."
(Science and Health, page 123)

Join us Wednesday at 7:30 pm to hear from the Bible and from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures on why that is true. Stay to hear examples from our congregation from people right here in Richardson who have proven this in their own lives. Click the image for more.

"It is scientific to rob disease of all reality; and to accomplish this, you cannot begin by admitting its reality." — Mary Baker Eddy
(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.

"...If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;"
(John 8:31)

When Jesus called the twelve to be his students, they followed him without hesitation. They knew of his works and could sense his love and authority. This week's Lesson-Sermon deals not just with Jesus' words and works, but particularly with how they apply to us today. It is not merely stories from long ago, but examples of Science at work today.

"Mind is the source of all movement, and there is no inertia to retard or check its perpetual and harmonious action."
(Science and Health, page 283)
