“THE BIBLE IS FOR YOU
BUT NOT ABOUT YOU”
INTRO TO SERIES
The key to a healthy life is found in the right rhythm. Join us as we journey through the fundamentals of faith and dive into the bible’s teaching about what really matters.
To make the most of this series, we encourage you to follow this daily reading plan with us, be a part of the online service where we explore each area, and discuss your experience with your community in your Connect Group. Together, we all discover the rhythms of life God has laid out for us.
HOW TO SOAP
SOAP is a simple and easy approach to studying the Bible. Just grab your journal and follow the steps!
S - SCRIPTURE
What stood out to you?
Take time to go through today’s Bible reading and minimise distractions to allow God to speak to you. Look out for a verse or word that particularly speaks to you and write it in your journal.
O - OBSERVATION
What is God saying to you?
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal himself to you and teach you in this moment. Why do you think that verse or word spoke to you? What do you feel God is saying to you in this scripture?
A - APPLICATION
How can you apply it today?
Ask yourself how this applies to your life right now and write down what this means for you today. It could be instruction, an encouragement, a promise to hold on to, or a correction for something in your life.
P - PRAYER
Ask God to help you use what you’ve learned.
This could be asking for greater insight on what He is revealing to you, or perhaps it’s simply asking for God’s help to use this scripture. Remember, prayer is a two-way conversation, so be sure to listen to what God has to say! Now write your prayer in your journal and speak it out.
