Memorize and Reflect

Psalm 119:14
I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.

Prayer Direction

Ask God to grow your love for His Word. Pray for discipline to make time to read and reflect deeply on Scripture as a daily part of your life.

“Live It!” Challenge

Explore the Bible – Use the approach from this week’s Bible reading guide and make time to go to books in the Bible that you don’t know very well. Read the first chapter and one or two other chapters of these books of the Bible. See if this sparks curiosity and interest in some fresh parts of The Word.

Small Group Discussion

1. Who is a person in your life who lives out the teachings of the Bible in a way that has taught you and inspired you? What do they do, and how do they live that shows they are a person of God’s Word?

2. Read: James 1:22-25. What are some of the consequences and dangers when a person reads the Bible a lot, listens to many sermons, but never actually acts on the things they learn?

3. What are ways that a Christian’s life can be transformed if they read the Bible regularly, take it seriously, and apply what they learn to their life in specific and practical ways?

4. Share an example of a time you applied something you learned from the Bible, and it positively impacted your life.

5. Read: 2 Timothy 3:14-17. Tell about a person in your family (or spiritual family) who helped you learn from God’s Word over time. What did they do, and how did this impact your life?

6. Who is a person in your family (or in your church) that you can teach God’s Word? What is one step forward you can take to influence this person to grow in their love for the Bible?

7. Read: Deuteronomy 11:18-21. What are reminders we can use to turn our hearts and minds toward the Word of God in the flow of our lives today (modern ways to tie the Word to our hand or bind it to our forehead)?

8. How can digging into the Word of God with family members make our family stronger and more united?

9. How can your group members encourage you and cheer you on when it comes to your own growth in the Scriptures (and living out what the Bible teaches)?
