What is S.O.A.P?

Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer

We invite you to read the Bible daily as a congregation in 2020. We will be using the Life Journal Reading Plan which was developed by Rev. Wayne Cordeiro and is designed to help us read through the Old Testament once and the New Testament twice each year. I encourage you to choose one of two options with this reading plan. You can choose Plan A in which you read 3 to 4 chapters in 20-30 minutes. Or if you’re just starting out reading God’s Word and feel overwhelmed, you can choose Plan B which will be shorter reading in 10-15 minutes. As you read the Bible daily, I invite you to record your time with God using the S.O.A.P. method. Please pick up the S.O.A.P. Method Bookmark and the January Reading Plan Bookmark in the Narthex(Lobby).
