The devil prowls around LIKE a roaring lion seeking someone to devour. But our God IS the Lion of Judah. He does as He pleases. His plans will not be held back. And as His followers, those who are called by His name, we are to be BOLD as we live out and proclaim the Gospel message.
This year for Sunday School we want to be intentional about memorizing Scripture verses that have to do with our theme (being bold). There are thirty verses, which works out to be about one a week. Below is a list of the verses in the English Standard Version and the dates that we are going to memorize them by. We hope that you will join us on this journey!!!
