2024 BIBLE READING PLANS
We're excited this year to offer two Bible Reading Plans and a Men’s and Women’s devotional. There is a 60-day overview of the Bible for those who want to start small and build up. And then, a one-year reading plan for those who want to jump right in and are ready to explore the entire Bible in a year.
We then have a Men’s and Women’s 7-day devotional reading with reflection questions! These can be used as a starting point for getting into regular rhythms of reading God’s Word and applying it to your life.
In Pastor Jason’s sermon to kick off the ‘Prepared 2 Build’ series when talking about the foundation of the Church, he reminds us that, “The Church is built on Jesus Christ, the Word that became flesh and, if we are to be the Church, we have to know what the book says the Church should be."
Here are some suggestions as to how to make regular Bible reading a meaningful part of our lives:
Schedule it
Have a plan
Answer three questions after each reading:
• What is this about?
• What does it mean?
• What is God saying to me?
Don’t get discouraged if you drop off. Just pick up where you left off!
