S.O.A.P Study Method

Are you familier with S.O.A.P Study Method?

The S.O.A.P. STUDY method stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. It is a study method widely used by believers around the globe. This approach helps individuals engage deeply with biblical texts and apply their insights to daily life and understanding.

One Chapter
One Verse
One day at TIME

When you use a BIBLE SOAP Method, only do one chapter at a time, verse at a time, so that you won’t be overwhelmed by what you’re reading.

It doesn’t matter where you START what’s important is that you stay consistent with it and you finish to the very END. If you STARTED the book of GENESIS, stay there, read, meditate, one chapter at a time, THEN go to the NEXT one. If you don’t understand something go to your pastor, leader or mentor and seek for interpretation. They are there to GUIDE you until you can read through the bible yourself.

Be sure to write every step down in your journal, so you can look back at what God has spoken to you in the past.
