Yesterday

After several requests, wanted to put up the main teaching points from yesterday in Part Two of The Classics.

The Big Idea for the whole series: Spiritual growth is the result of commitments we make and practices we repeat.

Yesterday's focus - the Bible.

Two tools: SOAP and the Big Idea.

S-cripture
O-bserve
A-apply
P-ray

The Big Idea is the combination of the subject and the complement:
Subject: What is the author talking about?
Complement: What is the author saying about what he is talking about?

HTs to Wayne Cordiero and Haddon Robinson for the above...

The challenge this week: Read the Bible at least four times for at least ten minutes each time using the SOAP and Big Idea methods.
