This week’s lesson on “Love” has “angels” in every section. I have counted the use of the word 19 times so far. Here is a link to ponder this concept:

12 Sons of Jacob chart or poster These are different from the 12 tribes. Joseph is not a tribe, his two sons Ephraim and Manasseh were given the territory. Joseph got a double portion. And the tribe of Levi was in charge of tabernacle worship, so they didn’t get any territory either.

ATTENTION: ST LOUIS-ILLINOIS CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS:

If you live in the St Louis area, my sister Kristy Christian will be giving a two-day Bible workshop sponsored by Peace Haven Association and Biblos Foundation. It will be March 1-2, 2019 at Peace Haven on 12630 Rott Road. The cost is $195.00.

"God Giveth Us the Victory"  (I Cor: 15:57)

“. . . thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (I Cor. 15:57), Paul writes to the church in Corinth. He also comments that “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal” (II Cor. 10:4). Are we not prompted to ponder the nature of a war that does not require material weapons, nor does it demand that we wrestle against flesh and blood (see Eph. 6:12)? Join us March 1 and 2, 2019, for a deeper study of this “divine method of warfare” (Science and Health 568:6), as outlined in the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s writings.

Our discussion will cover several narratives in both the Old and New Testaments which develop our theme and reveal how, with God, we can expect complete victory over any challenge that might confront us.

A few of the questions that we will explore:

  • What is our spiritual means of defense?

  • What is the significance of the “whole armour of God,” described in Ephesians?

  • Over what do we become victorious?

I heard this talk at A/U in the Fall, and it is outstanding!
