S.O.A.P.

At One Church, we like to say…use SOAP every day. This is a powerful way to begin to learn how to read scripture. Read more on each step below, but beyond that, don’t hesitate to Google a book of the Bible to learn its history, study the context, read other books and talk to folks about how they learn.

S: SCRIPTURE

Always start with scripture.

O: OBSERVATION

What do you see in the story? What elements stick out to you?

A: APPLICATION

What does this mean to me personally? How can I live this out today?

P: PRAY

Ask God to speak to you through what you’ve read and help you apply to your life
