Grown: Read

'I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.' John 15:5

This past week we started our new series Grown: Growing on Your Own. Our goal is to teach the students how to OWN their faith and to learn how to Read the bible, Pray or Serve in practical ways.

Doug Franklin, one of the apprentices, taught the students how to study the bible. He even gave them an acronym to use when studying:

S: Scripture

Read, write the scripture

O: Observe

Where verse is located? Who wrote the verse? Who were they talking to? What is the context of the verse?

A: Apply

What does this verse mean to me? How can I apply in everyday life?

P: Pray

Thank God for scripture and ask Him to reveal understanding.
