Let’s memorize John 15 together!
Whether you’re a faithful memorizer or you’ve never memorized a Bible verse before, this memory challenge is for you.
Soaking in these familiar words of Jesus is a great way to spend time with Him and grow in faith, even if your goal isn’t to memorize every word. We’ll concentrate on an average of two verses a week (print your schedule here) with two built-in week breaks, all beginning June 2.
For extra options, we welcome you to join our Facebook community where we actively encourage each other to stick with it. We tweet using #HideHisWord and practice the verses using Scripture Typer.

Thanks, Lisa! I’m in!! I just bought a KJV scripture music CD for the challenge that includes all of John 14 and 15 on it! Apparently they also have a coupon for $5 off any $20 purchase that can be used before May 26th if anyone is interested.
Here is a link to that:

Thanks for sharing that link, Jennifer. I’m sure it’ll be helpful to many. So glad you’re in!! This will be good.
I have such a hard time memorizing but I like to journal. So I will be journaling and meditating on John 15. GREAT chapter!
Oh, I love your journaling through John 15 idea, both for those not memorizing as well as those who are. I’ll share it with our Facebook group too. Thanks!
A thought came to me while I was entering my registration. How do you decide which verses/chapters/books to use for the group?
We generally alternate between an Old Testament and New Testament chapter, and within those, for the OT, between a Psalm and maybe a Major Prophets chapter, and for the NT, between a gospel chapter and an epistle.
We’re always open to suggestions, too, so please pass along any ideas for future chapters. Thanks for registering!
I may give this a shot. Actually, I was looking for something in order to memorize Philippians but saw this. I have a lack of motivation when it comes to memorizing Scripture although I really want to. The manner you’re doing John 15 makes me think this might be more my speed at least starting out.
We’d love to have you give this a try with us. The pace is reasonable but still keeps us on our toes. :) If you do Facebook, I encourage you to join our Hide His Word group. That’s where we keep active conversations going about the chapter throughout the challenge. It helps us stay on track.
I’m in! Perfect timing for me.
Yay! This keeps getting better and better. Glad you’re in, Rebecca.
Lisa, I was happy to note the word BREAK between June 30th and July 6th………… :-) God bless America! (and you guys).
You’re observant, Jody. :) I know that’s a busy week for lots of us so it seemed like a great time to insert a break.
And here is a link to the free John 15 KJV song I mentioned on FB in case anyone here isn’t on FB :)!

There are many others there as well.
Oh good. Thanks for sharing this here, Jennifer. What a great resource for memorizing scripture through songs!
