Just Got Baptized...Now what?

SHOW UP

  • Be intentional

  • Develop a habit

  • Pray

  • Don't bring your point to the text...let the text bring its point to you

  • Read the section of scripture you plan to focus on

LOOK AROUND

  • Context is king

  • Who is speaking or writing? 


  • To whom is this being written to or spoken to? 

  • When, where, and why? 

  • Is this section of scripture part of a bigger story or larger point?

TAKE SOME NOTES

  • Summarize what you read in your own words

  • Write down any key words or ideas

  • Make note of any questions you have or of ideas, topics or people you'd like to study further

LEAVE FOCUSED ON ACTION & TRANSFORMATION

  • What is the Bible saying / what does it mean? 

  • What does this say about God? 

  • What does this say about people in general or others? 

  • What does this say about me specifically? 

  • What does this say about how I should live? 

  • What are a few things I can do differently today as a result of what I've studied?
