Meditate on God’s Word

The Point: Saturating our minds with Scripture keeps us focused on the things of God.

Get Into the Study

Use the following information to introduce Question #1.

Pittsburgh radio station WYEP (91.3 FM) recently polled its listeners, asking them their all-time favorite song. For the WYEP listeners, here are the top 10 favorites:



* The Band, “The Weight”

* John Lennon, “Imagine”

* Bob Dylan, “Tangled Up in Blue”

* Van Morrison, “Into the Mystic”

* Queen, “Bohemian Rhapsody”

* The Rolling Stones, “Gimme Shelter”

* The Beatles, “A Day in the Life”

* Marvin Gaye, “What’s Going On”

* Bruce Springsteen, “Thunder Road”

* Queen and David Bowie, “Under Pressure”



Say: Maybe you have a favorite song on that top 10 list (or maybe you don’t). Then call attention to Question #1 (What song or jingle often gets stuck in your head?) and invite volunteers to respond.

Get Into the Study [Option from Adult Leader Guide, p. 113]

In advance, play some popular commercial jingles your group members are likely to be familiar with. Then ask Question #1.

Study the Bible

Use the following information to introduce Question #2.

A few months ago, Crosswalk.com, an online Christian living magazine, published a list of the most popular Bible verses. This list is based on online search rankings – so they are the verses people are searching for online. The article accompanying the list noted that, “Several themes connect these popular Bible verses: Connecting with God, living with purpose, and finding strength.” Here are the top 10 most popular verses:



* John 3:16

* Jeremiah 29:11

* 1 Peter 5:7

* Romans 8:28

* Joshua 1:9

* Philippians 4:13

* 2 Corinthians 12:9

* Psalm 23:1

* Genesis 1:1

* Romans 6:23



Say: Perhaps you have a favorite verse (or verses) that you recall again and again as a source of encouragement and hope. Then call attention to Question #2 (When has a Bible verse stuck with you during a season of life?) and invite volunteers to respond.
