Christian Science service looks at ‘Life’
Questions about when life begins and when it ends, and about what the source of life is, are often the root of questions from the political to the ethical, and even to the question of wellness. Yet Jesus Christ proved his life and that of others to be separate from events that happened to the body, and he instructed other to raise the dead.
“… The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord,” (Romans 6: 23).
The topic of “Life” and how Jesus Christ’s instructions are applicable to people today will be the subject of the Jan. 16 sermon at the Christian Science Church, with insightful readings from the Bible and “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.”
The service begins at 10:30 a.m. at 15910 Highway 525.
