Can you describe how each step builds on the previous one?

Who? Identify the characters involved in the story. What happens where and how. What is the lesson here… for the characters in the story and for ourselves?

If we don’t observe well, we won’t interpret accurately. If we can’t interpret accurately, we may do something in opposition to God’s intention. And we don’t want that!

As stated in the lecture, we can’t work with what we haven’t seen, so observation is the obvious first step. Since we can’t apply what we don’t understand, interpretation must come second. Then it’s futile to observe and interpret if we don’t apply it to our lives and share it.

well they follow a sequence that, that each next step needs the previous step to understand. A step missed may mean misinterpretation and that is bad for the reader and that person the reader may want to share it with.

First you must read scripture–observation. Second, you must interpret it but understanding the context it was written. Last, you need to apply the content to your life and the lives of those with whom you may teach or share God’s love.
