You don't have to be a Bible scholar to begin reading God's Word. You simply need a willing heart and a commitment to spend time with Him.
READING PLANS
Spiritual growth doesn't happen by accident. One of the most important habits we can develop as followers of Jesus is consistently spending time in God's Word. Yet, without a plan, Bible reading can easily become inconsistent or something we approach only when we have time.
Having a reading plan gives us direction, helps us build consistency, and allows us to see our progress as we journey through Scripture. More than simply checking off chapters, our desire is to grow in our knowledge of God, deepen our relationship with Jesus, and allow His Word to shape the way we live.
Choose a plan, establish a rhythm, and commit to the journey. If you miss a day, don't get discouraged. Simply pick up where you left off and keep going.
Here are several readings plans you can choose from:
- The M'Cheyne Bible Calendar
- The Bible Project (Bible In One Year)
- 5x5x5 New Testament Bible Reading Plan
- Chronological Bible Reading Plan
- The Navigators Book-at-a-Time Bible Reading Plan
- Straight-through-the-Bible Reading Plan
