Y'all voted and we have decided to do a deep-dive study into the book of Hebrews!

This past week we used S.O.A.P. method to dive into Hebrews 1.

In case you'd like a reminder:

S = Scripture (write out the scripture or verses that you are studying)

0 = Observation: what do you notice? What words stand out to you? What patterns do you see? What context?

A = Application: How can you apply this to your life

P = Prayer: Write a short prayer thanking God or asking him for something related to the verses

Hey Y'all! How did you like verse mapping? Here's a recap:

We used Hebrews 2 and used the following method:

Before you start:
1. Pray
2. Read the full chapter you've selected

Once you're ready:
1. Choose your verse (stick to 1 or 2)

What's sticking out to you? What do you have questions about?

2. Design: Select 2-4 other translations of the bible. Write them out.

What patterns are you noticing?

Underline or highlight key phrases, or words that may be repeated across multiple translations.

3. Development:

Dig deeper into your highlighted words

This is also where you may note word choice, part(s) of speech, and certainly dig deeper into definitions, Hebrew/Greek translations

You can use as resources:  https://biblehub.com/strongs.htm

https://biblehub.com/interlinear/hebrews/1.htm

4. Actions:

What’s happening in the verse? To whom?

Who are the characters in what you’re reading?

How does their story relate to other stories/verses/persons in other areas of Scripture?

What are the topics, themes, dates of significant events and/or theological elements of the verse(s) you’re researching?

5. Outcome:

What is God saying to me?

How do I apply this in my life?

Including the PDF Version under cool ideas section!

After last night's Life Group discussion,  I thought this was a great devo that came up in my daily devotionals by Joyce Meyer:

Day 35:
Through Christ Who Strengthens You

Philippians 4:13 is a very popular scripture that is often quoted out of context. It says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." That doesn't mean you can just do anything you decide to do because you want to do it. Paul was talking specifically about how he was able, through the power of Christ, to be content no matter what his circumstances were.

I do believe that, by God's grace, we can do whatever we need to do in life. I think that's a mindset we need to have. There's nothing that's too much for you if you're trusting God. You can handle whatever comes your way because God promises that He'll never put more on us than we can bear and deal with.

So keep a positive attitude no matter where you are right now, no matter what's going on in your life. Cheer up, God is on your side. Stop being upset about things you can't do anything about.

God wants you to know that He has an individual plan for your life, and He wants you to accept His unique plan for you and not compare your plan with anybody else's. You have to trust God knows more about what you need and what you can handle than you do. After all, He knows you better than you know yourself!

Prayer Starter: Lord, like Paul, I want my contentment to come from You, not my circumstances. Show me every day that Your plan for me is perfect and that I don't need to worry.
