Our Discipleship program for 8th and 9th
grade boys meets on Tuesday nights, and we eat dinner together, study
Scripture, and play games. The UVA men’s
basketball team was playing a home game against Virginia Tech several Tuesdays
ago, and since my parents had generously donated three tickets, I thought I’d
buy a couple more and we’d take the boys. One of our regulars couldn’t make it, so I was scrambling to find
someone to use his ticket. Fortunately,
I found an 11th grader, who had been in Discipleship two years
earlier and studied the same topics we’re studying now.
It was great for the boys to bond with him over the
material, CHS soccer, and Camp Wabanna. But what I was most excited about was that I
asked him if he remembers any of the memory verses we gave him two years ago,
and he said he still practices them! It’s
always nice to know that seeds you planted are still bearing fruit years later.
In case you’re wondering, these are our memory verses this
year:
Study Series on The
Apostle Paul: His Life and Letters
Romans 8:31-32 (beginning at “If God…”)
Study Series on Love
1 Corinthians 13:6-8 (ending at “Love never fails.”)
