Life Verses


There is no other way to grow stronger in our relationship with God than to memorize scripture. Scriptures memory is a powerful tool and incentive for sharing the gospel. David writes in Psalm 119:11,
"I have treasured Your word in my heart so that I may not sin against You."

 There are times when I do not have a Bible handy and I need help. The verses I have memorized over the years are what guide me in those times. I am committing to memorizing 15 Life Verses and I am inviting you to join me. 

 Each week for 15 weeks a Life Verse will appear in our bulletin. Mark it, post it, memorize It and make it apart of your life. Watch God do amazing things in your life. Ask a friend to learn them with you and hold you accountable. This will strengthen your relationship with God and enhance your life.

 In Him,

 Pastor James
Week 1 - Luke 9:23 [Discipleship]
Then He said to them all, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. [HCSB]

This ordinance is not for everyone.  This is only to be taken by those who are believers and accepted Jesus as their ultimate forgiver and leader.  To partake in this service in an unworthy state is sin. 1 Corinthians 11:27 (NLT) 27 So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this...
