Bible study is essential to the growth of a Christian and a study that is structured in some way allows the student to gain so much from the Word. I typically use the SOAP method. S=Scripture O=Observation (What is the passage saying) A=Application (How will I allow this passage to affect my life and P=Prayer. This has been an incredible way for me to study the Scriptures and has affected my spiritual life in profound ways.
I am a United Methodist pastor and have a wife (Jill); 3 children (Erica, Jackson and Noah Wesley); 2 dogs (Reagan and Bitsy). I am the founding pastor of a new United Methodist Church in Huntsville (The Bridge).
A group of us from The Bridge has started a new small group that is going to focus on reading and discussing Scripture. We are going to use Wayne Cordero's SOAP method for our study and I'm going to use this blog to journal. I'm excited as I think its going to be great fun and very enlightening.
