Grow in the word with us in 2021!

We are using the S.O.A.P. method of meeting with God and journaling your conversation through the Word:  

How to meet with God using the SOAP Bible Study method:

Remember that these are conversations with God.  Hebrews 4:12 says, "the word of God is living and active" - so we are hearing from God whenever we read His Word.  Follow these simple steps in this conversation with God.   

Begin with a time of prayer, where you ask God to speak to you through His word today. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes (Psalm 119:18) so you can understand the Word and its application to you.  (John 16:13)

S - SCRIPTURE  - Read the passage and find one verse or paragraph that stands out to you.  Write that passage down by the "S" in your journal.

O - OBSERVATION - Study what that passage means in its context as written by God's author to His people.  Write down your observations by the "O" in your journal.

A - APPLICATION - Ask the question,"How does this passage apply to my life today?"  Write down the application to your heart by the "A" in your journal.

P - PRAYER - Here is where you respond to God: Pray back to God what He has said to you in a response.  Then, write down that prayer or a summary of it beside the "P" in your journal.
