What’s Your Source?
Where do you get your news? What’s your source? We hear a lot these days about minding our sources.
For our next memory challenge, we’re going straight to the original source.
We’ll be memorizing red letter words, the words spoken directly by Jesus as recorded by the writers of the New Testament.
Memorize Matthew 7:1-14
In the past, we’ve memorized portions of Matthew 5 and Matthew 6.
In this challenge, we’ll memorize Matthew 7:1-14, to complete our journey through sections of all three chapters of the Sermon on the Mount. (Here are resources for Matthew 5 and resources for Matthew 6.)
Whether this will be your first time memorizing scripture or if you’ve memorized a lot, this is a great portion of scripture to learn.
We’ve discovered it’s much easier to memorize in community than on our own.
We go at a comfortable pace (or you can create your own schedule). We’ll memorize 1 to 2 verses per week for 10 weeks between Labor Day and Thanksgiving, with a one-week break halfway.
Matthew 7 include verses such as,
1 Judge not, that you be not judged.
7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
