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 Ephesians 2:13–22 again.

• What stands out to you?
• What does it teach us about God's community?
• What questions do you still have?

A: Application

• What's one way you're struggling to keep peace with others?
• What does this passage invite you to do differently toward those you don't always agree with?
• What do you think could change in your relationships if you do?

P: Prayer

Spend time praying about how you treat those you don't get along with. Ask for help extending the same belonging to others God has given you. Then, say thank you because when we feel unwanted, God says we belong.
