The Christian Science Bible Lessons are the focus and foundation for our weekly study and application of Christian Science. The Bible Lesson's were introduced in the early days of the Christian Science Movement. Man’s origin and destiny have always been questions in everyone’s heart and so our Leader provided Lesson-Sermons to help quench this thirst and to answer specifically these queries which have so puzzled and disturbed mankind. Though the same subject occurs twice every year, each Lesson is individually inspired to guide the student to apply spiritual solutions to every human problem that has plagued mankind since the dawn of time.

Mrs. Eddy referred to the weekly Bible Lesson in the Church Manual as “a lesson on which the prosperity of Christian Science largely depends.” (Church Manual, Section Church By Laws, Moral Obligations, Article 3 Section) She established the daily study of the lesson to educate students in Christian Science without human interference or personal interpretation.

Mrs. Eddy appointed the Bible and Science and Health as the impersonal pastors, using the Lessons in place of a sermon at church services.

Until July of 1898, the Lessons were still based on the International Bible Series. Then Mrs. Eddy selected twenty-six subjects for them — each subject to be used twice a year. The Lessons then took on their present form.

The CS Bible Lesson from our Pastor, speaks to us directly and individually with a sermon that meets the human needs of the entire world. It’s easy to look to people and practitioners for help and advice, but we have our very powerful Pastor, available to anyone, any time, any place, that speaks directly to our spiritual identity, and cultivating a spiritual consciousness that communes directly with our heavenly Father.
