That is great! I have taught Mark twice in the last four years, and I loved it, so I thought I would try memorizing the whole thing. It has transformed my understanding and appreciation for Mark. I imagine that fully memorizing the passages you're hearing each Sunday is very similar. There is something amazing out hearing the word preached when you know the particular passage well. Keep up the great work, Joosep!
Well ... there's a lot of them. I have a tendency to add too many; trying to slow down. But I'm gradually adding the Gospel of Matthew, as our pastor is doing a verse by verse study of that gospel. (Sometimes he also enlists the help of 2 or 3 others in the church, to teach). We're currently on Matthew 11. I find of course as I work on the verses during the week, before the teaching ... yes, it greatly enhances how much I then get out of the sermon.
