This year at Carmel Mountain Church we are taking the challenge to memorize each week one of the Top 100 verses in the Bible. We are taking this challenge because we understand how much we need to know our Bible. This generation of believers knows less about their Bible than all previous generations. At Carmel Mountain Church we want to develop believers who know their Bible. All verses come out of the English Standard (ESV) translation. You ready to take the challenge?
