Memorize Scripture

Let's memorize scripture together!

Why do we need to memorize scripture? There are many good reasons! To name a few, memorizing scriptures will strengthen your faith and help you fight temptation. (Check out this 4 minute clip from John Piper)


How do I memorize scripture? In a word, repetition. Different things work for different people. The key is that you have a desire and a commitment to stay at it. It also really helps to memorize with others. (Here are some great tips and tricks)

THE PLAN

  • We're aiming to memorize 60 bible verses together! (see below)
  • Each month we'll publish a memorizer bookmark you can take home.
  • During our midweek service, we will encourage and exhort each other to memorize!
  • As you memorize, recite the verse to a pastor/leader at CCS and receive a rubber bracelet.
