Memory Verses
Foundation Verse:
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning, God created
the heavens and the earth.
Fighter Verses:
Matthew 5:45b-48
“For he makes his sun rise on
the evil and on the good, and
sends rain on the just and on
the unjust. For if you love
those who love you, what
reward do you have? Do not
even the tax collectors do the
same? And if you greet only
your brothers, what more are
you doing than others?
Do not even the Gentiles do
the same? You therefore must
be perfect, as your heavenly
Father is perfect.”
