Slow Down, Dig In - Week 4

Week 4

Time to slow down and dig in! This week we take a more in-depth look at 1 John 1:9. This is a powerful verse containing an incredible promise from God. Sometimes we can get moving too fast when the Holy Spirit wants us to slow down. So we are going to spend this week meditating on just one verse of Scripture.

The assignment: 1) Memorize 1 John 1:9. This is an excellent practice for our spiritual development. Don’t skip it; don’t do it half-way; put it on a card and have a friend, spouse, child, or your waitress check you while you recite it from memory. (We might work out some rewards for this…)

2.) Do a word study for each key word in the verse. Use a concordance or a Bible dictionary, but try to get as much out of each word so that you have a richer understanding of the verse as a whole.

3.) Read up on the cross-references. I’ve included the ones in my Bibles below, but check if your Bible has different references and share those with the rest of us.

4.) Share what stands out the most to you in the Facebook Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/349127529814376
