Our hope is for everyone to go beyond mere church attendance and truly engage with God's Word daily! As we immerse ourselves in the Bible, we gain a deeper understanding of God and our life’s purpose. The practice of daily devotions helps reshape our thinking, renew our minds, and align us more closely with the character of Jesus. One powerful and straightforward method for capturing and processing what God speaks to us is through S.O.A.P. journaling. It provides a valuable tool to record and reflect on the significant insights we receive.

Every Tuesday at 7:00 a.m., come discover another dimension of journaling as you hear others share their insights and revelations. We meet in the main building for journaling.

2 Timothy 3:16 NLT says, "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.”

BIBLE CREED

This is my Bible:

I am what it says I am,

I have what it says I have,

And I can do what it says I can do.

Today I’ll be taught the Word of God;

My mind is alert,

My heart is receptive,

And I will never be the same,

In Jesus’ name, amen.

Here's how S.O.A.P. journaling works:

S – Scripture: Open your Bible to the designated reading for the day, and allow God's voice to speak to you. Take note of a verse that resonates with you, and record its reference in your journal (e.g., Luke 5:5).

O – Observation: Reflect on the message that God is conveying to you through this scripture. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach and reveal more about Jesus to you.

A – Application: Personalize the scripture by considering how it applies to your life at present. Is it offering guidance, encouragement, a promise, or highlighting an area where you need correction? Write down how this scripture can be relevant to your life today.

P – Prayer: Engage in a dialogue with God, expressing your desire to live out the scripture and seeking deeper insight into His revelation. Remember that prayer is a conversation, so be attentive to God's response. Write down your prayer as well.
