Memory Verses

Worship Ministry   •   The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod

The church confesses to Christ, “You have the words of eternal life” (John 6:68). The church is encouraged to “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly ...” (Col. 3:16). Psalm 1 teaches us to meditate on God’s Word day and night. It is our great opportunity and joy to read and study God’s Word. One beneficial practice is to memorize the Scriptures and, in so doing, to meditate on it. The LCMS invites everyone to memorize a verse together each week.

Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.

Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

Memory verse schedules

LCMS Worship has compiled memory verses for congregations, schools and laypeople to learn each week.

English and Spanish graphics with the verses are being categorized by Old Testament and New Testament books in the LCMS Library. The downloadable graphics can be printed and distributed in your congregation and/or school, and they can also be shared online or via other media platforms.

The schedule, which will be a useful tool in identifying the verse of the week, lists the English and Spanish verses and citations to cut and paste into print publications.
