If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
—I John 15:10
To keep the commandments of our Master and follow his example, is our proper debt to him and the only worthy evidence of our gratitude for all that he has done.
—Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 4

The subject of the Bible Lesson for the week of
December 1 - 7, 2025 is:
God the Only Cause and Creator
GOLDEN TEXT
John 3:21 he
21 . . . he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
RESPONSIVE READING
Genesis. 1:3 God, 11; Luke 8:5 (to ;), 6 (to ;), 7 (to ;), 8 (to 1st .), 11–15, 17
Gen. 1:3 . . . God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Luke 8:5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side;
6 And some fell upon a rock;
7 And some fell among thorns;
8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
