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]
