Scripture Memorization
Throughout the year, we are asking every disciple to memorize a portion of Scripture each month. We believe that one of the most transformative practices in our faith is understanding the Bible and being able to apply it to our lives. The verses that were chosen correlate to the disciplines or content that will be practiced that month.
This month’s verses: Matthew 28:18-20 and Acts 1:8
