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)

• 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 wristband.

Memorize the verse word-perfect in whatever translation you'd like. Start with the topic, then recite the reference, then the scripture, then repeat the reference.
