Reading the Bible can feel intimidating sometimes. But one simple way of studying Scripture is called S.O.A.P. It stands for "Scripture," "Observation," "Application," and "Prayer." We'll show you how—it's easy!
S: Scripture
If you haven't already, read today's passage of Scripture. Then, summarize it in your own words.
O: Observation
Read John 1:1–3 again.
- What does it tell us about the source of all creation?
- What does it teach us about the story God is writing?
- Who was "the Word" referring to?
A: Application
- What do you think about the idea that God invites us to join the act of creation? What might that look like for you?
- What's something that holds you back from being creative? What would God say about that?
- How can you use creativity to share God's story with others?
P: Prayer
Spend some time in prayer about what creative outlets you could use to share God's story with others. Consider what gifts God has given you that could play into this. Then, say thank you for all the ways God has created beauty around you.

God's story is not a story meant to be put away on a shelf somewhere, but it's one we're meant to explore and experience because we're deeply connected to it. In this 4-week devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll take a look at the story of God and see how we can make a difference in our communities because we know there's more to the story.
