Congratulations! Level 1 and 2 on the same day!

Congratulations!

Six years of consistent blessing! That’s wonderful! May you enjoy many more!

Congratulations! That’s a satisfying lot of verses completed in the last few days. God bless you!

Congratulations from me too!

I’m focussing on John, mainly. I started with John 10 and gradually worked my way through to 21. This year I’ve added John 1-4 (when I say ‘added’, I really mean ‘started’ of course!) Currently learning John 5. So the plan for 2024 is to add chapters 6-9.
May you know God’s joy and blessing in 2024!

JD - as you’re learning John 17, I pray that in 2024 that the Father will keep you in his name and that the joy of Jesus may be fulfilled in you. (John 17:11,13)

Belated Happy Christmas to you Joosep! Are you starting on John now, as well as Luke?

That’s a great chapter to learn and meditate on. God bless you!

Congratulations, and God bless you!

That’s such a great reason, ‘I want to repeat them all over again’. Your love for Gods Word shines through so strongly. Thank you.

Making good progress! But what was the reason to reset 10 verses back to the beginning? Was that one specific passage you decided you wanted more practice with?

Good for you! I too did 8 and 12 first. Then I added 5 and 6. But none of them are complete yet. God bless you as you tackle the whole book!

Are you working through the whole of Romans? That’s a worthy goal!

I’m sure it won’t be too long until you get to chapter 24, Joosep. I decided to spend time with it now because it’s come through strongly in two books I’ve just read, and then this same passage was the basis for the sermon at church on Sunday. It’s a powerful story to reflect on.

That's a wonderful passage, PeterP. I look forward to the day when I can work on it too :) But, since I've resolved to go through Luke in order, that day won't come, for me, for some time :) At the moment my "new" Luke passages are in chapter 13.

I agree with you. I can at least read it again, and I'll be sure to do that. As to reviewing it here on LSN, I suppose I'll get to ch. 24 early next year, but then I'll also have the whole of Luke prior to that to work on. Unless Jesus returns first.

Six months, and 3+ verses per day too! Very impressive!

Thanks Joosep. That’s an impressive spreadsheet. I pray God will bless you daily as you apply yourself to your ‘joyful job’ of clearing the red cells.

Congratulations! That’s a very satisfying achievement, after a year or so of reviewing!

That’s impressive! God bless you.

Now I’ve reached the middle section. I learned John 3:13-21 several years ago, and they’re all at 100%. So I wonder if I can keep them all ‘fully learned’ when I do ‘test instead of read’ tomorrow? Let’s see…

Thanks for the update, Joosep. I’m glad it’s still going well.
I’m interested in your ‘three young passages’ rule. How long are the passages you’re working with? Do you mean whole chapters? Or are you breaking up chapters into smaller passages for this?

Nice to see :) I really love the Gospel of John. But then again, I also like Luke very very much, and also ... well, it's hard to choose! The Word of God is so precious.

One of the greatest encounters written in the Bible.

Luckily we don't have to choose one over the other. Just which to memorize first :D

true

I got saved as a youngster through this passage. One of my favourites 💕

Good luck! May God bless you as you review!

Thanks for sharing that, JDJDJD. I agree with Joosep that it’s very moving. May we all grow in zeal and courage for the Lord.

Thanks for sharing that, Iyelljoshua19. It’s very encouraging. I’ve learnt Hebrews 9 and 10 and it’s been great to help me “draw near to God in full assurance of faith.”
(And I hope you don’t mind me asking, but is your user name a reference to Joshua chapter 19? I’ve just read through Joshua, and chapter 19 seems an unlikely source of inspiration, so I was intrigued. Apologies if it seems an impertinent question.)

That’s a very impressive points total! It represents a lot of dedicated memory work. God bless you in your journey through Luke.

Thanks for the link to the Corinthians recitation. He does it very well, reinforcing the text with changes in pace, tone, emphasis, and hand gestures. I haven’t watched it all yet, but I’ll come back to enjoy the rest.

Congratulations! It looks like you’ve found a good rhythm. God bless you as you learn.

Congratulations Moviegoer! That’s an awesome achievement, and reflects your commitment to the project. Who won the prediction contest? I’m pretty sure someone guessed 100 million, didn’t they?
But most of all I appreciate your comment above about knowing God more and more. Basically that’s what we’re all here for, isn’t it? I pray that each of us, as we learn Scripture a little or a lot, will come to know God more and more each day.

Thanks for the update Joosep. I admire your commitment to a project that will last into 2026 and beyond, and I pray that God will bless you richly as you go.

Janet, yes! God gives the best wine, and in such abundance! Six jars of ‘20 to 30 gallons’ equates to 600-900 regular bottles by my reckoning. I’m sure that was way more than they needed! But God always wants to bless us in abundance.

No, I’m still working on it. It’s a very long-term project! And my approach has been fairly haphazard! I actually leant John 15 first, several years ago, then expanded it to chapters 14-17. Then I did 10-13 and 18-21. So now I have a more definite aim to work through chapters 1-9 in order to complete the whole gospel.
Most of it is quite familiar to me on the surface, but the LearnScripture process is really helpful (especially in the teaching sections) in making me slow down and consider what Jesus actually said.

I love the gospel of John!
I seem to remember you've worked on John quite a bit in the past. Are you repeating some of it, or? If I may ask :)

"you have kept the good wine until now" That's my favourite bit . What God is giving us NOW!

"but the LearnScripture process is really helpful (especially in the teaching sections) in making me slow down and consider what Jesus actually said."

Amen, PeterP that's exactly how I feel too.

janet23, I also like verses 14-17 in that chapter. Jesus' zeal in cleansing the temple.

:)

in the twinkling of an eye Jesus produced fine wine, something that takes about 25 years!

Enjoy your journey through John. Your journey sounds like mine. I need to get them all through to 100% now. ( Will start on that goal soon. )

Congratulations! It’s rather satisfying to get the first verse to 100%. God bless you.
