SO(C)AP- Bible Study and Journaling Method

Sometimes reading the Bible can be intimidating.  We need tools to help us observe and apply what we learn.  

The SOCAP method of Bible study and journaling helps us in pursuit of knowing and applying God's Word.

Scripture - Write down the passage you would like to focus on

Observation - What comes to mind (ask questions like who, what, when, where, why as you sit with the Lord and ask him to reveal his truth).  Take time to reread and sit with the Lord on the passage

Where is Christ?  The scriptures are about God's redemptive plan for you in Christ.  He is everywhere in the scripture.

Application - How can you live differently this week in the insight God has given you?

Prayer - Bring it to the Lord
