SPIRITUAL FORMATION STUDIES

Scripture as your primary resource

•   Select a book of the Bible or section of Scripture to read through everyday.

•   Use a journal to record things God teaches you so that you can share them with each other
     when you get together.

•   Try the Bible study method of

•   Observation (asking who, what, why, when, how type questions)

•   Interpretation (what was the author saying to his readers)

•   Application  (how does this apply to me today/what is God saying to you personally).

​

Discuss what you read and what you will do with it:

•   What stood out the most to you? Why?

•   What was unclear or difficult for you? Questions?

•   What is something you learned?

•   What is at least one practical way you can put what you learned into practice (in your
     thinking or in your behavior)?
