Implanting the Word

For the month of April we have encouraged all of our kids to enlist the help of their parents in memorizing 10 scriptures during the month. Each week the kids are given a chance to demonstrate what they have learned. All of the verses being memorized are ones that we are teaching about and experiencing in the big room lesson time and in the Studios.

Our goal is that every venue (teaching, experience, relationships, scripture memory) would meet together so that the kids 'get it' and it begins to permeate their daily lives as they interact with family, friends, chores etc. Psalms 119:104,105 "Through your Precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate very false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Our Desire is that as Parents join with their kids, helping them to implant the word of God in their hearts, they will see it working its way out in their life.

Below are the verses we gave the kids, they were written in the New Living Translation but you can use whatever works best for you and your child.

Romans 8:9 Romans 8:11(a) 2 Cor. 5:17 Matt. 16:15,16
