This year fusion was goood as usual! Took back a lot from that pretty good scripted sermon on the one and only TRUTH of GOD!
(the beatiful sanctuary at PLMC!)
Sunday
Today taught my youth small grp GEL on how they can do their own individual bible study at home! I sure was really encouraged by them today! As they all took the effort to really read the word and learning how to do the S.O.A.P method to study the bible!
Which can be found here..

Life Journaling, using the SOAP acronym, is a way that some people find useful. The method is simply a matter of following the letters of the word soap. It is probably most effective when you work through a book of the bible, reading a different chapter each time. (some people find every day helpful) You will need a bible, a pen and something to write in. Use a journal to keep your reflections together.
Scripture - read the chapter that you have chosen. Don't skim over it or read it too fast. When a verse, phrase or word stands out or catches your attention, write it down in ur journal. (make it a maximum of two verses)
Observation - what is it about that verse or that phrase or word that kind of struck you? What is it that seemed to catch your attention? What insight or observation do you actually want to write down? Write your observations of the verse in your journal.
Application - how does your observation impact you? How should that thought, that observation, that insight, actually change you? God isn't speaking to you to increase your information; He's speaking to bring about transformation. He wants your life to grow, to develop, to change. Again, write your thoughts down. What might God be saying to you through this verse? What action will you take as a result of what you are hearing from God in this way
Prayer- Respond to God with a prayer. Write to him as though you were writing a letter. Tell him how you feel about what you've read, tell him what you think.
Had a really good lunch meeting with the XT core! And headed off for TCHOUKBALL!!!
(shared with the grp today on how we can continue to prepare for this TCHOUKBALL MINISTRY to happened more in future weeks to come!)
