The importance of memory verses.
Posted 25 Aug, 2011 08:45 AM by Ron
Now that you've sat through a few practice rounds, you might start to notice that there are 2 or 3 questions that people don't jump as much on--MEMORY VERSES. If you have learned the verses, then you notice something even stranger--several other questions come from those verses! A sure way to be successful in Bible quizzing (if your goal is to get the jumps!) is to spend time working on memory verses. These verses are preselected as some of the most key verses in the book of Hebrews. I remember as a quizzer over this material being shocked that a verse from 1 Peter wasn't a verse because it spoke very loudly to me. As you read and study Hebrews, what verses are sticking out to you as the most important? These verses may be different to each individual because after all, the word of God is living and active--so it speaks to all of us differently.
We realize that everyone wants to do well, and that Hebrews can be confusing. It can also be hard to want to sit down and study and focus. Scott, Ryan, Lori and i are always just a text away to help answer your questions. If you study hard, and want to work on skills, we can help you with that too, feel free to ask us any time. Daley and Emma are a little more limited because of their college lives, but they've taken time to commit to you as well, and are able to help give you tips and tricks on studying if you'd like. They were both quizzers recently, so they probably have some good tips.
Here's the memory verse list again, just in case someone doesn't have it. I would encourage everyone to try and learn at least a verse a day--it doesnt take that long, and you'll be glad you did!
Hebrews 1:1-2, 1:3, 1:10-12, 2:1, 2:9, 2:10, 2:14-15, 2:17, 2:18, 3:1, 3:5-6, 3:12-13, 4:9-10, 4:12, 4:13, 4:14-15, 4:16.

Hey everyone! Quizzing starts Sunday August 7th at 3 pm. If you want to bring a snack or drink to share that would be awesome! We will be meeting until 4:20 pm. We will meet in the rooms at the top of the big wooden staircase! We will provide quiz portions to people who still need them, fill out info sheets and go over some of the basic rules. I'm excited to get this season started! You can see the practice schedule and expectations at the top of this page. There is also a forum for students to help each other with tips and tricks.
Here are the memory verses for the first 4 chapters if you want to get a start on them (we would LOVE everyone to try and learn the verses this year!)
Hebrews 1:1-2, 1:3, 1:10-12, 2:1, 2:9, 2:10, 2:14-15, 2:17, 2:18, 3:1, 3:5-6, 3:12-13, 4:9-10, 4:12, 4:13, 4:14-15, 4:16.

UPDATES!

HEY Everyone! Hows summer going? NYC is just a week away, and that means that I need to start getting information to you about next season. For those of you going to NYC, if you get a chance, go watch Kayleigh quiz on the B team!
I have updated the current year practice schedule, expectations, and added the memory pre-jump to the forums. I am getting really excited about this year, and all of the cool memories we're gonna make! We won't get started officially until August, but we will be hopefully having a pool party at McMullens in July.
If you want to get a jump on the year, remember that Hebrews can be hard to understand. I suggest just starting to work on the memory verses for Chapters 1-4 (if you don't have a portion, they can be found in your bible, just make sure its a 1984 edition NIV). We are hoping that everyone does memory verses this year, and we've got something excited planned for the end of the year for anyone who does ALL the memory verses. Here's the list of them to get you started:
Hebrews 1:1-2, 1:3, 1:10-12, 2:1, 2:9, 2:10, 2:14-15, 2:17, 2:18, 3:1, 3:5-6, 3:12-13, 4:9-10, 4:12, 4:13, 4:14-15, 4:16.
If you'd like help, we'd LOVE to help you. We'd even have memory verse study parties, so tell your friends and set up a time you want our help!
