SCRIPTURE MEMORY

The memorisation of the precious Word of God is a mandatory part of the School curriculum. The Word of God must be sown in our minds and hearts in order for the Holy Spirit to be able to use it effectively in our lives. Our Scripture Memory program consists of nine passages each year, customised for each grade, which are each learnt over a four-week period. A diverse selection of passages are used in a repeating cycle in order to help students learn the attributes of God, the fundamentals of the Gospel and sanctification, as well as the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word. Scroll down to see each of this year’s Scripture Memory passages.

  • Proverbs 3:13-22

    13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

    14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

    15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

    16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

    17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

    18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

    19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

    20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

    21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

    22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

  • Psalm 103:8-17

    8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

    9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

    10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

    11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

    12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

    13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

    14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

    15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

    16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

    17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

  • 1 Peter 2:2

    As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

    2 Timothy 3:14-17

    14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

    15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

    16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

    17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

    Psalm 1:1-6

    1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

    2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

    3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

    4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

    5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

    6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
