S.O.A.P Bible Study Guide
Inspired by Rise Church SOAP Bible Guide
S.O.A.P is abbriviated for Scripture, Observation, Application and Prayer as a STUDY Method that has been used by Christians all over the world.
For this you will need a
A BIBLE, (physical or electronic) a writing pen, S.O.A.P Guide, and a Journal or something to write on. You can also play soothing or worship tune in the background.
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.
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.
One Chapter, One Verse, One day at TIME
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.
Scripture
Take time reading each passage and allow God to speak to you. Look for a verse that particularly speaks to you, or is highlited in yoour spirit, and write it in your journal.
Observation
What do you think God is saying to you in this Scripture? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and reveal Jesus to you. Paraphrase and write this Scripture down in your own words in your journal.
Application
Personalize what you have read by asking yourself how it applies to your life right now. Write down how this Scripture can apply to you today.
Prayer
This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this Scripture, or it may be a greater insight on what He may be revealing to you. Write down YOUR thoughts and reflections in your journal, or maybe even start a BLOG!
