Good Callનમૂનો

Reading the Bible can feel intimidating sometimes. But one simple way of studying Scripture is called S.O.A.P. It stands for "Scripture," "Observation," "Application," and "Prayer." We'll show you how—it's easy!

S: Scripture

If you haven't already, read today's passage of Scripture. Then summarize it in your own words.

O: Observation

Read James 2:14–19 again.

• What stands out to you?
• What does it teach us about the connection between what we believe and how we live?
• What questions do you still have?

A: Application

• What's one way you're struggling to put your faith into action?
• What does this passage invite you to do differently in how you live?
• What do you think could change in the lives of those around you if you do?

P: Prayer

Spend some time praying about an area where you want to put your faith into action. Ask God to give you ideas of what that might look like and who could help. Then, say thank you for the patience God gives when we struggle to do what's right.
