Summer Scripture Memory

This summer we will be taking five weeks to memorize a series of verses together as a church. Our core value, Biblically Oriented, points us to the Scriptures in expectation that we are conforming our lives to biblical truth. We hope these verses will be a source of encouragement, strength, and unity for our congregations as we commit them to memory over the next few weeks. (Psalm 119:11)

Passages

Week 1 | July 19-26

James 1:2-4
Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

Week 2 | July 26 – August 2

1 Peter 5:5b-7
And all of you, serve each other in humility, for ‘God opposes the proud but favors the humble.’ So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

Week 3 | August 2-9

Romans 12:11-13
Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.

Week 4 | August 9-16

Colossians 3:12-13
Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

Week 5 | August 16-23

Colossians 1:11-12
We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light.
