Bible Reading Plans
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God”
-Matthew 4:4
Bible Reading Plans
Reading Scripture is an essential discipline in the Christian faith and the primary way we hear God speak to us. As we grow as disciples, we listen to God’s word for revelation, wisdom, guidance, conviction, and worship.
While there are many approaches to reading and studying God’s Word, we want to provide a few recommended resources to help aid you in your personal growth. The plans below provide different approaches to choose from based on your own style, preferences, and rhythms.
21 Day Bible Reading Plan
This 21-day reading plan is designed to help you begin (or renew) a daily habit of meeting with God in His Word. It is not about finishing a plan, but about being formed by the gospel as we learn to listen, respond, and live differently.
