Method of Bible Reading: S.O.A.P.

We encourage everyone to use the SOAP method as you read.

S — Scripture

Read meditatively and thoughtfully through the assigned passage.
Pick a verse or two that stood out and write it in your journal.


O — Observation

Write observations about the passage.
What is it saying?
What does it reveal about God? About people?
How is Christ revealed?


A — Application

Write a few sentences about how this passage applies to your life.
Is there a truth or promise to receive?
Is the Holy Spirit convicting you to do something — or stop something?


P — Prayer

Write a prayer to God in response to what you read
(the revelation you received).
