Have you been thinking of memorizing scripture? Have you been overwhelmed at the thought of it, maybe looking for a way to ease into it?

If so, we have the perfect challenge for you: The Essentials of Philippians. A challenge to memorize some of the key verses of this amazing book, using Covenant Life Church’s Jesus Our Joy: Scripture Memory Songs from Philippians. This is a great, easy way to “get your feet wet” in scripture memory. If you take up this challenge, you will memorize 41 out of 104 verses, 39% of the book! It includes the following verses and passages, using the English Standard Version.

Philippians 1:3-6, 9-11, 12, 21,27

Philippians 2:3-4, 5-8, 9-11, 12b-13, 14-15a, 20-21

Philippians 3:7-11,14, 20

Philippians 4:1, 4, 6, 8-9, 13, 19-20, 23
This Scripture Memory Project is an amazing tool. Listening to these songs over and over again, you will find yourself singing scripture throughout the day, and it will make memorizing those verses *almost* effortless. So what are you waiting for?

Make a plan

  • Take some time to read the verses, and plan out how many you would like to memorize each week. There are a total of 21 songs.
  • Find someone locally to join you in this challenge. Partnership is a big help in providing encouragement and accountability.
  • Brainstorm ways that you can use multi-tasking to memorize scripture. Where are the places in your day where your hands a busy, but your mind is free to listen. While you drive? Fold laundry, wash dishes? Are you a runner?
  • Plan to memorize the references and not just the words of the verses. This will be invaluable to you when you want to point someone (or yourself!) to these great truths.

Gather your materials

  • Follow this link, scroll down to the second set of songs, and download each of the songs onto your computer.  Import them into iTunes, put them on your phone, burn a CD for your car. Whatever works for you, so that you can have the songs available throughout the day.
  • Get notecards and a journal to write your verses in. Find something small that you can keep with you at all times, so as to take advantage of spare moments here and there that you may have to review.
  • Pick a day for your “prep day”. This is where you can write out the verses for the week in your journal and on your cards that can go up around the house (bathroom mirror, nightstand, refrigerator, computer, shower-in a Ziploc, have all been helpful places for me.)
