Lift Offಮಾದರಿ
- Helping others doesn't only make a difference for them—it changes our lives, too. How can using our gifts to serve others help us grow closer to Jesus?
- Was there a time when they used their gifts to help you that strengthened your faith?
Today's passage of Scripture is short and easy to memorize. But we don't memorize Bible verses so we can win some kind of Bible-know-it-all contest. We memorize important passages of Scripture because we want God's words to be easy to access when we really need them. We'll come back to this same memory verse every week!
STEP 1: Write as much of the passage as you can remember off the top of your head. Don't worry if you get some of it wrong!
STEP 2: Read the passage again. Spend a few minutes trying especially hard to remember the words or phrases you missed. When you think you've got it, try again! And write slowly—it will help.
STEP 3: Choose a memorization hack to try today. Then keep practicing throughout the day.
- Write the passage on a rubber band and wear it on your wrist.
- Make it your phone's lock screen so you see it over and over again.
- Sing it to the tune of your favorite song.
- Read it and repeat it out loud.
- Grab a bunch of LEGO bricks and write each word or phrase on each one. Stack the LEGOs to build the complete passage.
- Write it on a sticky note and attach it to your mirror so you see it every day.
- Or add your own idea here:
STEP 4: At the end of the day, come back and try writing it down one more time.

About this Plan
Whether you've been attending church since you were a kid or are brand new to this Jesus thing, you probably have some ideas about what it takes to grow spiritually—but you might have some questions, too. In this 4-week devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll look to some stories of Jesus and his followers to see how spiritual habits can help us "lift off" our spiritual growth.
