Nehemiah – Becoming A Disciplined Leader

1. Pray – Remember Psalms 119:18
2. Survey – Read the passage quickly
3. Read – Read the passage carefully
4. Observe – List the details, pay attention to things that are meaningful. Like names, places, names of God, emotions, events, actions, etc…
5. Interpret – What do the details mean? What did they mean to the author? What did they mean to the audience it was written for? Have I seen something like this in the Bible before?
6. Apply – What does it mean to me? What does this passage mean in our time?
7. Pray – Ask the Spirit to water the seeds that have been planted
8. Share – Look for opportunities to use what you’ve learned
