VISION
“LOVE YE ONE
ANOTHER” For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten son that we may have life to the
fullest. Because we have received His love it is our charge to love.
MISSION
“RESTORE CAPABILITY TO THE
BELIEVER”
As we proclaim Jesus, the Christ, as head of the church and the manifested Word of God, our goal is to preach and teach the Word of God with simplicity and understanding so that it may be applied to our everyday lives in a practical and effective manner.
HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE
The Observation-Interpretation-Application method is a way of in-depth study of scripture that’s different
than reflective reading. The key is realizing it’s flexible. As you train yourself to first make Observations, then
Interpret the timeless principles, then Apply those principles to your life, you will find you can do a simplified
version in 10 minutes (see underlined short-version below), or spend hours on the same passage doing the
―full-blown‖ study below. You usually will not answer every question below or find every category useful for
every passage—use what fits, be flexible, but train yourself to first ask questions and make observations be-
fore interpreting what it means and how it applies.
OBSERVATION (Text - What does it say?)
A. TRANSLATION
Read the entire passage through several times using several different translations (NIV, NAS, RSV,
NKJV, etc.) and making note of the differences. This will help you identify key words and possible trans-
lational problems (www.biblegateway.com) has multiple translations online.
B. CONTEXT – use these questions to make observations about context
This is a great link for Introductions to books of the Bible: www.ibsstl.org/niv/studybible/index.php
1. WHO is writing/speaking and to whom? What is their relationship?
2. WHAT is discussed? What is happening?
3. WHERE does the event/communication take place?
4. WHEN does this take place relative to other significant events?
5. WHY does the speaker say what he does? (What problems were the recipients facing?)
6. HOW does this passage fit into the context? (e.g. What comes before and after?)
C. STRUCTURE - Examine the structure of the passage and make note of any significant connecting words
that help you understand the author's argument (e.g. therefore, but, and, etc.). You may want to dia-
gram a long sentence or paraphrase the argument of the passage.
D. WORD STUDY - List all the key words of the passage or translational problems as identified in "A" and use a Bible
Dictionary, Vine's Expository Dictionary of Greek Words, or a Greek Dictionary to understand their meaning
(www.studylight.org/isb has and Interlinear English/Greek Bible (type in the passage you want)--you can click on
words to get a full understanding of it in the original language). For Greek verb forms reference also check

HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE (con’t)
E. QUESTIONS - Bombard the text with questions as you reread the passage. You won’t answer every question suggested
below, but asking questions like these helps you look from different angles. Write your observations.
1. What are the commands?
2. What are the promises?
3. What do I learn about God? about Jesus? the Holy Spirit?
4. Repeated words, ideas, themes?
5. Comparisons/Contrasts
6. Lists
7. Cause effect relationships
INTERPRETATION (Message - What does it mean?)
A. DEVELOP PRINCIPLES
Proceed verse by verse and record your new understanding as you interpret the passage. (e.g. Why is it important to
understand this? What does the writer mean to convey in each verse? How did this relate to the original audience?
What is the opposite of this truth? When should this be applied?)
Cross-reference other passages to help interpret this passage (what other passages seem to support or conflict with
my interpretation? You always want to interpret within the broader context of other scriptures)
List specific timeless principles that you derive from your observation of the passage
B. COMMENTARIES
Consult any commentaries you can and write down insights they had that you might have missed.
C. UNANSWERED
Make a list of unanswered questions for future study.
D. THEME
Write down in a sentence the main idea or point you think the author is trying to get across. You can use this as your
title if you’re leading a study!
APPLICATION (My Life - What does this imply for me?)
TEACHING (How does this truth apply to my life?)
B. REPROOF (Where do I fall short? Why do I fall short?)
C. CORRECTION (What will I do about it? What will I change?)
D. TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS (What specific things can I do to make this principle a habitual part of my life?)

HELLO GOD By Jennifer
Hello GOD, I called tonight to talk a little while…I need a friend who’ll listen to my anxieties and trials… You see I can’t quite make it through a day just on my own…I need your love to guide me so I’ll never feel alone. I want to ask you please to keep my family safe and sound. To fill their lives with confidence for whatever fate they’re bound. Give me Faith, Dear GOD, to face each hour throughout the day and not to worry over things I cannot change in any way. I thank you GOD for being home and listening to my call; for giving me such good advice when I stumble and fall. GOD your number is the only one that answers every time. I never get a busy signal never had to pay a dime. So Thank You GOD for listening to my troubles and sorrows. Good night GOD, I Love You and I’ll call again tomorrow.
