The Sword and Shield Plan Part 2

The Shield: Why Scripture Memory Matters

Psalm 119:11

God’s Word isn’t meant to be heard once and forgotten—it’s meant to be stored in our hearts. In this message, Pastor Sean explains why Scripture memory matters and how God uses His Word to protect us where we are most vulnerable.

From Psalm 119:11, Matthew 4, and Romans 12, we see how memorizing Scripture shields us from sin, self-deception, spiritual attack, worldly thinking, and anxiety. You’ll also receive practical, realistic steps for beginning Scripture memory as part of the Sword and Shield Plan.

When God’s Word is stored in us, it stands guard over us.
