October 27-November 2 - Everlasting Punishment

Hi everyone - I actually think a better title for this week's lesson is "Everlasting Purity".  Did you notice that in each healing account in the lesson there is the desire on the part of the one needing healing to be "made clean" - washing, anointing with oil, getting into the pool at Bethesda.  Purity!  Think of Purity and what it means for you as you read the lesson this week.

Let's continue this week by each of you printing out this letter and bringing a question - either from my list or bring one of your own.  The more you participate by being prepared, the more you will get out of Sunday School.

Golden Text & Responsive Reading

Do you know what it means to be redeemed?  Have you ever been redeemed? Delivered? Saved?  Tell us about it.

B1 - Look at the "If, Then" statement and think about this in terms of your own life.  What is the "rain" in your life? (remembering that rain brings nourishment to crops)  What in your experience will yield its increase?  If you allow rain to nourish the ideas of joy, strength, freedom, dominion and others - they will dominate your experience.  Be proactive.

Now look at the "if, then" and see what happens if you don't listen and obey God.  It seems an easy choice to make.  Are you making the right choice?

S3 - How will you know when you are really sorry for wrong doing?

S6 - What are the activities that you need to replace hate, lust, revenge & deceit with?  Let's apply this line of thinking to our daily lives.

B5 - Recognize what it means for you to have God correcting you - What does it mean?

B7 - What was the quality of thought that Naaman had to exhibit for his healing to take place?  Is your life an example of the use of this quality?

S9 - When do you begin to learn about Life in Divine Science? (Christian Science)

B10 - How important is it to "Love your enemies"  What does this actually mean in your daily thoughts and actions?

S14 - What qualities do you need to build a strong defence against evil thoughts, lusts and malicious purposes?

B13 - Do you think this story gives you permission to be a BIG Sinner?  What quality of thought did this woman need to have her healing?

B14 - What was the quality of thought the impotent man needed for his healing?

S22 - How do you destroy a fear of sickness?  Let's not forget the first thing that needs to be done for healing is to remove fear.

S23 - This marker has some really juicy ideas for healing.  do you recognize what you can know, do, & be to have regular and effective healings of your own?

S25 - Can you bring 1/2 the faith you have in matter to the study and demonstration of Christian Science?  If so - what is the glorious result?  WOW!  Let's do it.

I'll see you all next Sunday.  Have a great Week.
