•     Good morning! This is Rev Teresa. I have a reading for you this morning from the April 10 Divine Science Daily Study titled:   AGAPE LOVE   Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you and pray for those who abuse you.   – Luke 6:27,28   Jesus stressed that we are to love our enemies. In keeping with his overall teachings on love, the Greek word agape is used, which indicates a benevolent and unselfish love. In the omnipresence of Spirit,

Today I’m speaking on “A Resurrecting Consciousness.” One thing is for sure, we can’t take the old patterns of our life, into our new consciousness. These old patterns are the thoughts, beliefs, emotions and habits that we hold so dearly too. Something must change that allows for the evolved or new version of who we are to show up. At some point we find that our old ways of being no longer fit the life we desire. Yet if we try to bring our old patterns merged with the new soo

The reading I selected to share today is by H.B. Jeffery titled “A Transcendent Treatment.” As I read this know that the divine in me is speaking to the divine in you. I invite you to close your eyes and take it in. Following we shall move into meditation. Beloved of God – greeting! In my integrity within me, where I know and see as God, I know and see you, O Beloved, to be free, wise, immortal. I see you unfettered and unbound! Triumphant! Glorious! Splendid! I see you unbur

Good Morning and Happy Easter Sunday!   This is Rev. Teresa. Today I am speaking about Joy!   Many of us grew up with the joyful tradition of the Easter Egg Hunt, where eggs, candy and small toys are hidden for children to find on Easter, and are said to be brought by the Easter Bunny. In my family this was an annual event, where my mother carefully hid these treasures for my brother and me to find in the morning, indoors if the weather was rainy and outdoors if it was sunny.

Good Morning! This is Rev. Teresa. I have a reading for you today from the March 24th Divine Science Daily Study titled:   Love’s Presence in All When people perceive reality through the lens of duality, they feel compelled to claim that God is exclusively on their side—the side of absolute rightness and divine favor. This perspective assumes an inherent division between good and evil, leading them to see those who think or believe differently as adversaries, separate from th

Today concludes our series for Lent on Giving Up Your Beliefs. This week I’m speaking on Giving Up the Belief of Birth and Death. First, I’ll speak about what people refer to as death. Many people in today’s world have the belief that death is a finality, meaning there is nothing else - you’re forever gone. Or, similar to a deep sleep as in a coma that is forever. Others who believe in the end times believe that this deep sleep is interrupted in the final days to go to heaven

Today I’m sharing from the Divine Science Daily Studies by Rev. Dr. Sylvia Eriksson ~ First Divine Science Church of Australia. God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (1 John 1:5) I am the light of the world. (John 8:12) “I, a living soul, stand before the Lord with the light of His Glory shining through me.” So wrote Nona Brooks in her inspiring book, In the Light of Healing. Her consciousness so filled with the Truth of Being, Nona wrote that we are all living

Good Morning ! This is Rev Teresa. This morning I am speaking on Giving Up the Belief in Illness. This is the 6th Sunday in our Lenten series. What we believe regarding illness is very powerful in determining our experience of health and well-being. The Universe just deposited the perfect example of this right in my lap this week!   A friend from my exercise group sent a text to our group of exercise friends that had been sent to her by a neighbor who is a doctor. I read the

This week we’re continuing our series for Lent on Giving Up Beliefs. Our beliefs whether they are true or not, sets up our rule book for living. In the last 100 years or so, scientists have revealed that much of their science about our universe and even our bodies are not what they have believed to be - their opinions have changed throughout the years and still are evolving. It wasn’t so long ago that people were taught that the earth was the center of the universe, and our s

Good morning! This is Rev Teresa. I have a reading this morning from the March10, 2026 Divine Science Daily Study. March 10th was the birthday of Joel Goldsmith, American mystic, and author of The Infinite Way, who lived from 1892–1964.   Goldsmith stressed the practice of contemplative meditation: short frequent meditation periods throughout the day. He taught that the main reason to meditate was that through reaching the inner silence one could hear the still small voice an

Today I am speaking about “Giving Up Your Belief in Lack,” or it might alternatively be titled “Embracing Abundance.”   The dictionary defines lack when used as a noun as: “an insufficiency, shortage or absence of something required or , desired… something that is required but is absent or in short supply.”   When used as a verb the definition is: “to be without or.. deficient in.” ( dictionary.com )   What we feel we are lacking can be so many things: money, food clothing, s

Today I’m sharing from Divine Science Daily Studies by Rev. Nina Russell ~ Baton Rouge, LA Ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free. –John 8:32 The above Bible quote is a cause-and-effect sentence. If you know the Truth, (cause), then the Truth will make you free (effect). Jesus came here to teach us and this is one of his primary teachings. No longer do we have blind faith, but move into understanding faith; there are conditions we have to meet if we wan

Good Morning! This is Rev Teresa. I have a reading today from the February 28 Divine Science Daily Study by Rev. Radth Youngman, Ph.D. from Croydon, Victoria, Australia God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power and love… – 2 Timothy 1:7 We live in a world of fear. Every day we read of atrocities being perpetrated somewhere in the world, often close to home. The perpetrators of these heinous deeds are usually presented to us as some sort of evil ogres or ps

We are continuing with the series for Lent based on “Giving up our Beliefs” to help propel us to the next level of consciousness. We can use this season to give up our human beliefs that no longer serve us, and that lead to suffering. Today’s talk is about “Giving Up our Belief in Sin.” Metaphysically in the Bible, every personal name represents attributes of character, and names of places represent a state of consciousness. Every story is about our spiritual unfoldment in t

Today I’m sharing from Divine Science Daily Studies by William R. Parker, 1915 –1993 author, psychologist and Divine Science minister. I am the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Revelation 22:13 Great dedicated spirits may never have tried to define God, for a definition can only limit the limitless; but let us say that God is Mind, Life, and Substance. Whatever we could agree that God is, God is you.... Notice that we did not say that you are God. We

This talk is the 2nd in our Lenten Series. Lent is about giving up something that hinders our spiritual unfoldment, our spiritual development. Giving up sounds hard to me, like doing something we don’t want to do. I like the term “releasing,” as it implies releasing what no longer serves my highest good. Releasing sounds easy breezy to me, like taking a breath and letting it out. In fact, try that with me right now. Take in a breath, and just release it, letting it go. Ahhh…

Today we are beginning a 7-week series for the Lenten Season titled Giving Up Your Beliefs. This Wednesday, Feb. 18th is called Ash Wednesday. It is the first day of the Lenten season which lasts 40 days to April 2nd and is known as Holy Thursday or the last supper. This period of Lent is symbolic of the 40 days and nights that Christ Jesus spent in the wilderness fasting, meditating, and preparing for his mission as the Christ. The number 40, metaphysically represents an uns

I recently bought a t-shirt from the Friends Committee on National Legislation that says, “Love Your Neighbor, No Exceptions.” I wore that t-shirt to my exercise class, and one person looked at it and said, “Oh, sure!” I think that actually, what this person said out loud is what most of us think, whether we say it or not. “Love that person who voted for the people causing all of this? Oh sure! No way!” “Love that person who did that terrible thing? Oh sure! No way!” “Love th

Today I’m sharing from Divine Science Daily Studies by Rev. Nina Russell of Baton Rouge, LA. DIVINE MANIFESTATION “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” This verse, from John 1:1 is often not understood. Let us substitute the words “Divine Manifestation” for “Word.” “In the beginning was the Divine Manifestation and the Divine Manifestation was with God, and the Divine Manifestation was God.” This makes more sense and i

Good morning! This is Rev. Teresa. I have a reading for you this morning from the January 30th Divine Science Daily Study, titled: IN MY DEEP SPRING OF WISDOM, I FIND PEACE Amongst indigenous Australians, dadirri is inner deep listening that recognises the deep spring of wisdom inside us. Aunty Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Bauman, an Aboriginal elder from Nauiyu in the far north of Australia, has written: When I experience dadirri, I am made whole again. I can sit on the riverbank
