Don't forget, after reviewing last week's study of Observation, Interpretation, Correlation that there's a most important step: Application.
In other words, you have to apply the truths that you learned from your study and apply it to your life. This usually happens by discovering something you need to change or do or fix or create...
That's the difficult part.
The best part is that last word I used: Create.
Once you've learned lessons from God, it's very helpful to teach others what you learned. It could be to create a Bible study. It could be to compose a children's song. It could be to paint a painting of the section you studied. It could be a photograph. It could be to blog about it. A short story. I could go on for quite a while about all the stuff you could do...
But the most important part is to actually "do it." Create something innovative as a teaching tool for others. It's really your own little act of worship when you think about it.
We're going to review all these steps in class tonight by actually having you study the Bible. I'll do the correlations, but you'll be studying in small groups...so bring your Bible and a pen that works and be prepared to answer basic "5 w's and an h" questions. You might find it helpful to read through Matthew 26 through 28 as that will be the basic text we use.
And, oh yeah, based on our Palm Sunday class from last week: Do you remember when I showed you the application that comic strip artist Johnny Hart uses in "B.C.?" How he uses that strip every year on Palm Sunday as his own little worship space? He did it again today...so get your Sunday paper and check out his fine work today. It's very inspirational how he can do that...
