Inspiring weekly podcasts

Sentinel Watch is introducing two online podcasts each week - the current podcast and a relevant podcast from the archives.

Don't be deceived!

March 27 - April 2

with John Biggs

"Pick a card, any card." That's how many card tricks start out. What makes a card trick successful also provides a useful lesson in how to focus on God and experience more effective spiritual healing. Join host David Brown and guest John Biggs to learn more.

From the archives: How can evil exist?

March 27 - April 2

with David Driver

If God really is all good and omnipresent, then where did evil come from and how can it even exist? We reached back into our archives to share this podcast segment from 1996. But the guest speaks in a way that is fresh today, and his message is timeless.

If the current podcast is not posted by CSPS Internet Radio on Monday morning, go to Sentinel Watch Archive.

Praying for ourselves & the world

From the Christian Science Sentinel

Prayer can resolve

economic hardship

Just when it seemed that nothing was going to save us from bankruptcy, we began to feel the effects of prayer.

You will find inspiring events and online audio and video programs from the Christian Science Monitor, the Mary Baker Eddy Library, and The Mother Church (The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, MA).

Enjoy inspiring ideas from this week's Bible Lesson

Unreality

March 27 - April 2

He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. Psalms 33:5

Everything good or worthy, God made. Everything good or worthy, God made. Whatever is valueless or baneful, He did not make, — hence its unreality. Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 525:20–21
