Bible Memory August/September Abiding in Christ John 15:1 John 15:2 John 15:3 John 15:4 John 15:5 John 15:6 John 15:7 John 15:8 John 15:9 John 15:10 John 15:11 John 15:12 John 15:13 I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father s commandments and abide in His love, These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one s life for his friends. 1 st grade students must recite correctly at least one verse and its scripture reference at a time to an adult. 2 nd grade students must recite correctly at least two verses and scripture references at a time to an adult.

In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones. Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase; So your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, If, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 1 st grade students must recite correctly at least one verse and its scripture reference at a time to an adult. 2 nd grade students must recite correctly at least two verses and scripture references at a time to an adult.

Bible Memory November Becoming Like Christ John 14:21 John 14:23 John 14:24 Rom. 12:1 Rom. 12:2 James 1:25 Eph. 4:20 Eph. 4:21 Eph. 4:22 Eph. 4:23 Eph. 4:24 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him. Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father s who sent Me. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one s religion is useless. But you have not so learned Christ, If indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: That you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, And be renewed in the spirit of your mind, And that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. 1 st grade students must recite correctly at least one verse and its scripture reference at a time to an adult. 2 nd grade students must recite correctly at least two verses and scripture references at a time to an adult.

Bible Memory December The Beatitudes Matt. 5:3 Matt. 5:4 Matt. 5:5 Matt. 5:6 Matt. 5:7 Matt. 5:8 Matt. 5:9 Matt. 5:10 Matt. 5:11 Matt. 5:12 Luke 9:23 Luke 9:24 Luke 9:25 Luke 9:26 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Then He said to them all, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world and is himself destroyed or lost? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father s, and of the holy angels. 1 st grade students must recite correctly at least two verses and scripture references at a time to an adult. 2 nd grade students must recite correctly at least three verses and scripture references at a time to an adult.

Bible Memory January Life in Christ Col. 3:1 Col. 3:2 Col. 3:3 Col. 3:4 Col. 3:5 Col. 3:6 Col. 3:7 Col. 3:8 Col. 3:9 Col. 3:10 Col. 3:11 Col. 3:12 Col. 3:13 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, In which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, And have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; Bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another, even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 1 st grade students must recite correctly at least two verses and scripture references at a time to an adult. 2 nd grade students must recite correctly at least three verses and scripture references at a time to an adult.

Bible Memory February Serving Christ Col. 3:14 Col. 3:15 Col. 3:16 Col. 3:17 Col. 3:18 Col. 3:19 Col. 3:20 Col. 3:21 Col. 3:22 Col. 3:23 Col. 3:24 Col. 3:25 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as menpleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, Knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality. 1 st grade students must recite correctly at least two verses and scripture references at a time to an adult. 2 nd grade students must recite correctly at least three verses and scripture references at a time to an adult.

Bible Memory March Trained by Christ Heb. 12:1 Heb. 12:2 Heb. 12:5 Heb. 12:6 Heb. 12:7 Heb. 12:8 Heb. 12:9 Heb. 12:10 Heb. 12:11 II Tim. 3:12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; For whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives. If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 1 st grade students must recite correctly at least three verses and scripture references at a time to an adult. 2 nd grade students must recite correctly at least half of the monthly Bible memory selection and scripture references in one sitting to an adult.

Bible Memory April Glorifying Christ Heb. 13:1 Heb. 13:2 Heb. 13:3 Heb. 13:4 Heb. 13:5 Heb. 13:6 Heb. 13:7 Heb. 13:8 Heb. 13:15 I Cor. 6:19 I Cor. 6:20 Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels. Remember the prisoners as if chained with them those who are mistreated since you yourselves are in the body also. Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you. So we may boldly say: The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me? Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God s. 1 st grade students must recite correctly at least three verses and scripture references at a time to an adult. 2 nd grade students must recite correctly at least half of the monthly Bible memory selection and scripture references in one sitting to an adult.

Bible Memory May Rich in Christ Luke 12:16 Luke 12:17 Luke 12:18 Luke 12:19 Luke 12:20 Luke 12:21 Luke 16:13 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops? So he said, I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years, take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry. But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided? So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
