Practicing Scripture – MEMORIZE
Worship Service, August 3rd, 2025

1. Please take a moment to download the sermon notes (https://bit.ly/ER250803) for this week.
2. Prepare the elements of “bread” and “wine” for use as we gather around The Lord’s Table. These can be any items convenient around the home that symbolize these for you.

Sermon Scripture: Matthew 27:45-46, Psalm 22

We often think of memorizing scripture as something we did in Sunday School as a kid. Something we have outgrown. But what if memorization isn’t something you grow out of, it’s something you grow into.

When we hide the words of Scripture in our hearts we carry them with us in a way that allows them to become breath in our lungs, strength in suffering, and truth in uncertainty. In our modern, digital, AI crazed age, this is the kind of memory we need.
